If I see someone famous, I'll likely say 'hey, isn't that ...', but I'd never bother to approach them, unless I felt I had really good reason to. That said, I think celebrities need to understand that they're going to be homing-beacons for selfish jerks who don't value anyone else's time. I feel bad for these celebrities, but the best thing for them to do in most cases is be gracious and put up with these people.
The only celebrities I've seen in unexpected spots are Frohike (of X-files), who was buying milk at the Kensington Safeway, and Jamie Oliver (of Naked Chef) who was having dinner at Charlie Chan's, also in Kensington.
