This especially applies when the stars themselves come face to face with their own famous crushes. Take Pink, for example—as Jimmy Kimmel noted, the singer "turned the color of your hair" when Johnny Depp surprised her on his late-night TV show!

Pink isn't the only celeb who has met their celeb crush with the cameras rolling. Taylor Swift's first encounter with Justin Timberlake circa 2008 came courtesy of The Ellen DeGeneres Show—and she completely lost her chill!
