Cameron Diaz

“I met Cameron Diaz at this restaurant I was working at. I had my head down when she walked up and when I looked up I said ‘oh shit, what you doing here girl’ and then she said, ‘well, I gotta eat’.

We laughed and that was pretty much it,” says Alexa Demi’s Thong.

Shay Mitchell

“I met Shay Mitchell in LA and never recognised Spencer [also from Pretty Little Liars]. I thought she was her PA, they both kept laughing and I was thinking what is funny?

So, she took a picture and once I got to the top of the hill I realised who she was. I’ve never felt so bad in my life,” says Laatz.

Helena Bonham Carter

“I was forced to go food shopping as a stroppy teen with my Mum and someone accidentally ran over my foot with their trolley, I turned round and yelled FOR. FUCKS. SAKE, and realised it’s Helena Bonham Carter who very sweetly apologised, I promptly died inside,” says Charlotte.
