Reddit: Who is the rudest celeb you have ever met? What happened?

If I wanted to be on reddit, I would be on reddit.

Ruth McDevitt hit me in the head with a fondue pot.

I want to believe the post about Musk, but I don't at all.

Ellen

I think the last paragraph reveals the person was just trolling.

Timothee Chalamet. More people are now coming forward with on-set horror stories.

i've delivered things to disgraced streamer drdisrespect many times. his house is really ugly. he's polite but has an aloof attitude.

Meryl Streep. She's been torturing me forever. 😭😭😭 YES I KNOW I'LL NEVER BEAT YOUR 21 OSCAR NOMINATIONS!!! Why must you be so harsh???

Does Elon Musk count as a "celebrity"? I'm more inclined to stick with tyrant-enabler. (This also goes well beyond mere "rudeness" into BPD and massive entitlement syndromes.)

Btw Deuxmoi has endless asshole-celeb tales in their IG stories. Anthony Mackie somehow gets mentioned a lot, and considering he's assuming the helm of one of Marvel's most successful franchises in a few months, his asshole attitude doesn't seem like it'll play well with the media.

One of the comments on there is about Jared Leto hitting on a 16-year-old girl

He sounds like a pig

Reddit can be awful but that thread is juicy! There's a lot of stories about Bill Cosby and Diddy, too

Mabel Albertson kicked me in the balls when I asked her who she thought was the better Darrin.

On Deuxmoi currently there are photos of Gigi Hadid with highly noticeable alcoholic bloatface. She looks 58 years old.

Reddit has some good threads about personal encounters with celebrities.

I love stories about celebrities being assholes.

Barbara Mandrell. When I was in High School I worked at a farm who delivered hay to her horses. You couldn't look or talk to her and had to walk with your head down. Someone forgot her golden rules and looked at her All hell broke lose.

The Mary Berry citation didn’t surprise me in the least… I always knew that behind that kindly grandmother persona, there’s something rancid.

The reason I believe so many of these stories is because they're coming from service people. Celebrities are notoriously rude to servers. But a lot of the posters also cite celebrities being rude to kids, which is a real negative, IMO.

r16 I'm pretty sure Mary Berry still has slaves.

John Wilkes Booth. He shot my husband. Stone cold dead.

But is he a celebrity, Mary Todd?

That's a good Reddit thread.

Anyway, disappointed about Mary Berry.

The NBA (basketball) players sound awful, as a whole. I am betting Charles Barkley would not be rude, though. He seems like a cool guy.

Bill Murray is looking pretty good in this Reddit thread. I'm surprised.

Wow! Reddit is just like DL! Posters putting blind items.

Thank you OP, I also use Reddit and that thread is good reading. So many horror stories about encounters with Bill Cosby, way before the criminal charges. What a miserable SOB.

r20, you were supposed to say "but did you enjoy the celebrity, Mrs. Lincoln?".

Who was complaining about Mary Berry? Some soggy bottom I assume.

what about celebs who have an unfair reputation? i think axl rose is nicer than he gets credit for. all his so called diva walk offs were really about gross security failures, he was devastated when fans died at a show very early in their career. always been sweet to fans from what i hear and read. i'm skeptical about gossip from bitter roadies who are mostly ex-cons and drug addict losers who probably got fired for being idiot degenerates. the worst story i've heard is that he refused to go on stage until he finished watching teenage mutant ninja turtles 2 in his hotel room.

Does me looking in my mirror count?

Like, now, as I'm texting.

Not surprising that Elon the Trump ass licker treats women like garbage.

btw i wonder if kanye had some kind of brain injury or serious change from drug use - before yeezus came out when these threads would pop up on reddit he came up all the time as someone who went out of his way to treat crew members, service workers, etc. very well and generously.

Because of my job in NYC back in the 90s/00s, I met a slew of celebrities and honestly 99% were really decent people. I supposed Jeanne Garofalo was the most rude, but all she did was look angry when I spoke with her handler about details for that night's performance. Oh, and perhaps most bizarre was Winona Ryder who I passed walking down a quiet street in the west village during a less-than-famous stage of her career. We passed each other and I looked at her to be sure that's who she was and when she noticed me, inches away, her hand shot up to cover her profile. But then again, Winona isn't best known for her mental wellness. Oh, and Barry Manilow was pissy and aloof but his handler (husband) was very nice.

A friend of mine had a funny story about Tina Louise (of which, I'm sure, there are legion) . He was house managing at a well known OB house and when the doors opened (with assigned seats) Tina bolted and pushed others out of the way to get in. Some older man said something and she turned around and said, "Please, it's not like you're not going to get in."

R27 Do capital letters cost extra?

Dixie Carter once threw a handful of ball bearings onto the floor as I was just about to step down a long flight of stairs. I might have fallen and chipped a tooth!

Alan Rickman, Janelle Monae

R32 the shift key is broken on my keyboard and i also don't give a fuck about whiny pedantic prescriptivists who think shitpost comments on a gossip forum are formal letters or whatever. eat my shit bitch.

Lucy

I have always thought there was something phony baloney about Janelle Monae.

R35, if your shift key were broken you would not have been able to leave a "?" in your original post. You also would not be able to quote R32 because you need to use a capital "R" in order to quote a full post.

Do better.

Dame Julie Andrews once shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

[quote][R32] the shift key is broken on my keyboard and i also don't give a fuck about whiny pedantic prescriptivists who think shitpost comments on a gossip forum are formal letters or whatever.

Then you won't mind if we Ignore your posts!

R27 = Axl's publicist's secretary working a weekend shift.

R40 not at all please do block me shithead loser

[quote]r38 You also would not be able to quote [R32] because you need to use a capital "R" in order to quote a full post. Do better.

You can use a lower case ‘r’ when you’re quoting a reply number. The system will turn it into a capital ‘r’ when it displays.

Try it!

r43, let's see.

You are correct, r43!

zzzzz r1

Della Reese. A cunt on steroids.

R42 ooooh tetchy, tetchy!

R27 - Erin Everly would neg to differ.

^ beg

BARBARA MANDRELL?!

Holy fuck, that's a name from that passsst.

I've worked with several sports figures. By the far, the nicest athlete I ever worked with was Steph Curry. He was friendly, accommodating, and kind. I worked with him at an event, and months later, I ran into him at another event. He remembered my name and walked up to me and gave me a hug.

On the other end of the spectrum, not surprisingly, Draymond Green is a complete asshole. Rude, arrogant, entitled, and with all the emotional restraint of a kindergartner who's had his toy taken away from him.

Likewise, Barry Bonds is a supremely arrogant asshole. I helped him when he attended an event, and he literally looked up, nose in the air, and wouldn't respond to anything I said to him. Total prick.

I take great pleasure in knowing Draymond Green would hate that I frequently imagine fucking him deeply.

I met Axl in Vegas while waiting for a flight to PHX about 18 years ago. He was quiet and sitting alone but when asked told me several hilarious stories about the recording of Appetite. This was pre-Botox so he looked pretty normal. He has that odd X-factor that so many lead singers possess where they arent conventionally attractive but clearly have charisma and intensity that puts them in a different league of entertainers. On the opposite end of the spectrum I met Gavin at Fred Segal within that same year and while he was lovely to look at, he had the magnetism of a jr high biology teacher. Julia Roberts = twat - I’ve encountered her a few times. My daughter who is now 26 has a good story where she was managing a pop-up in the Hamptons during college one summer and JR tried to barge in as they were closing but she and her fellow Zoomers locked the door in her face bc JR was so rude. Extra points bc none of them had seen that garbage dump Pretty Woman, so they had no real understanding of the irony of their snub.

Ed Zwick's story what Julia Roberts did to fuck over Shakespeare in Love put me off her for good. Unprofessional.

I did like the tag on this one from the Reddit thread:

[quote]Oprah! I was at Buckingham fountain in Chicago with my daughter, who was 6. She had just gotten the show ( it was still AM Chicago). I was about to say hi, she put her hand in my face and said "No autographs". my daughter said, "Who is that?" I said, "Nobody!

Hunter Pence is an absolute sweetheart and gorgeous to boot.

I was molested by Tim Conway.

Worse, R39, she was overheard saying "That was rather boring."

I had the misfortune of coming into close contact with that rat-faced Rosanna Arquette at Sundance one year. What a nasty piece of work that one is.

[quote]Ruth McDevitt hit me in the head with a fondue pot.

Was the fondue pot OK?

Steve Harvey is the nastiest nelly queen.

I was in Orlando with my husband and a friend. We took hin to Disney with us as a birthday gift. It turned out there was a big horror convention in town and he was a huge Horror movie fan so we decided to go to that one day rather than the parks, because it was his vacation too. The night before we wen out to dinner at a fairly fancy restaurant. It was pretty quiet when we were sat with not many people in the restaurant. We were sat in a booth, my husband and I on one side, our friend on the other. Almost immediately a couple is sat behind us (my friend's back to them). I recognized the woman in the couple It was Tara Reid. I leaned forward and whispered to our friend, "don't say anything and don't look right away but I think Tara Reid is right behind you." He screams NUH HUH really loude, spins around, looks right at her, and goes OMG. Fan girls out so bad her and her date get up and leave. I could not blame her.

Not a celebrity encounter but my niece is a sports physical therapist, when she was working on her PHD she was assigned to the university sports teams. Basketball, baseball and football. She said the baseball players were the biggest sluts of all by far. I always think of that when I'm watching MLB.

I ran into Cam Reddish of the Lakers a few weeks ago as he was thinking of renting a house in my neighborhood. He was very nice but his male "friend" was a complete bitch. I think he purposely chose someone like that to have a relationship with so he would have someone to do his dirty work. I got some satisfaction seeing they were not a cute couple and gay NBA players go through lovers almost as fast as the straight ones

R30 While assisting him in a store, Kanye West called my salesbottom friend a faggot in 2006. To be fair, he was and is pretty faggy.

I love that in that Reddit thread Candace Cameron Bure is called out as a phony narcissist who turns on the "sweet" act for the camera and then turns it right back off. She has crazy eyes.

I met Alison Brie at a cocktail party at Malibu in 2018. She asked me if she could hold my drink for a second as I adjusted the slingback on my heels. I was very appreciative of that. While she was holding my drink, she spat a huge wad of phlegm into it. I thought that was really rude.

Elie Wiesel came to speak to my high school. The presentation started late and he only had a few minutes to speak. He started yelling at a couple of teachers that he had traveled a long distance to speak so briefly and that he wouldn’t have come if he had known how little he’d get to speak.

It seemed oddly petty.

I enjoyed reading about all the negative interactions with Winona Ryder on the Reddit thread. Im Gen X and she is so worshipped and deified. I see her as a psycho, insufferable bitch who is largely unliked in the industry for good reasons. I really think she’s bipolar.

Not a celeb, a parasite and a hanger-on Cindy Adams, vile and still alive. Rude and evil.

Julia Roberts, ungainly in appearance with a gray skin complexion and a superiority complex.

Cindy Adams is a such a relic from another time. I've always heard she's a huge cunt.

[quote]He wanted shock collars put on the squirrels to stop them from being too loud.

I'm sorry but I don't believe this part.

[quote] I met Gavin at Fred Segal

Who is Gavin, precious? Gavin MacLeod? Gavin Newsom, Gavin Rossdale, Gavin Creel, etc, etc.

If that post was even partially true about Musk, he was just being a complete troll. It’s kind of funny. Maybe he should invent shock collars for squirrels since he sees a need for them…

Shawn spit it out.

r38 embarrassed herself

Mario Van Peebles was in a line dancing contest.

They only laugh at your jokes because you are wealthy.

[quote] He has that odd X-factor that so many lead singers possess

Axl Rose is one of the best rock front men of all time. He really had stage presence, not even considering his vocal range.

However, I always got Neo-Nazi vibes from him. Plus, IIRC, he reportedly beat up one of his girlfriends (Stephanie Seymour), early fame time.

Now, he seems a lot more humble. He's lost his hair, he's gotten fat, and his voice is shot to hell.

He performed at Lisa Marie Presley's funeral. (Who knew they were close friends?) He played piano and croaked out "November Rain." It was truly awful (it's on YouTube), but I felt for him. He said yes, I'll perform, when asked.

At a performance at Webster Hall (might have been The Ritz), Axel Rose dove into the audience from the stage, expecting to crowd surf.

They moved out of the way, and he hit the floor hard.

A hotel manager in Beverly Hills says that 90% of celebs are no trouble at all, and many don’t want any special treatment. (He said Laura Linney, Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski are very low-maintenance.)

Surprisingly, he also said that Kris Jenner, Kim Kardshian, and Angelina Jolie were very gracious and treated hotel staff kindly, as did Dwayne Johnson and P!nk.

The only ones who the staff with perpetually bad attitudes are James Woods and Ice-T’s wife, Coco.

Rudest celebrity, to no one’s surprise, is the aptly-named Andy Dick.

R83 again…. Sorry: “who treat the staff…”

In 2003 I had the strange good fortune to wind up backstage at a David Bowie concert in LA. Among the people I chatted with, a very young Scarlet Johannssen was extremely nice. Martin Gore of Depeche Mode was chatty and sweet. Ian Astbury of The Cult was pompous but social. Elijah Woods had the bluest eyes I'd ever seen and was way shorter than I ever realized. He seemed almost as out of his depth as I felt. Very humble. Bowie himself was VERY gracious. He entered the room wearing a green hoodie, jeans, sneakers and a smile, nothing like the tall, imposing "Thin White Duke" you imagine in your mind. Bowie chatted for a long time with my friend, while I sort of stood there trying not to gawk, trying not to fangirl, while inside I was literally exploding.

The one person that I found to have very dark, creepy energy that night was: Lisa Marie Presley. Oh my god. She was dressed for a funeral in head-to-toe black with a wide-brimmed hat. Scowl on her face like she'd just stepped in shit and smelled it. She had mean girl energy. Since then, I have seen interviews of Lisa Marie where she seems more normal and less ominous. I also understand more about her life than I did back then -- that she was the person that actually found her dad dead on the floor. That she was devastated by her marriage and divorce to Michael Jackson and spent years trying to both win him back and also get over him. I understand she has always been a troubled soul with sad eyes, but also she was a supposedly nurturing mother. But at that time, backstage that night, among so many chatty celebs, she seemed almost demonic. All I could think was "Oh, it's Lisa Marie, the creepy SCIENTOLOGIST." I figured she was in her Scientology/Aleister Crowley mashup era. If anyone knows what was going on with her specifically in 2003 (heroin?), let me know.

A friend who coordinates international ad campaigns refuses to ever work with Gal Gadot again. She was rude to the film crew and had her team grab every garment on the designer-loan rack to take home with her, leaving the ad firm with a huge bill.

Coco, Ice-T's wife is a gold digger. She actually got busted cheating on Ice-T and they remained married. Oh, well. He may have cheated on her, as well.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R75 Gavin Rossdale.

[QUOTE] Cindy Adams is a such a relic from another time. I've always heard she's a huge cunt.

HA! Speaking of relics, I actually met Adams once while she helping 300 year old Henny Youngman walk out of a theater. She looked to be struggling and I offered to help (not immediately recognizing either of them, I was probably 20 so this was 35 years ago). She seemed nice and grateful but declined and hobbled away for her Weekend at Henny's.

The rudest high profile person I ever met was a United States Congressman, he is dead now, but he was rude and had a nasty disposition. His name was John Dingell and he was very powerful. Michigan.

[quote]Cindy Adams is a such a relic from another time. I've always heard she's a huge cunt.

She's a Russian nesting-doll set of cunts. The center one looks like a Bronx meat locker with rows and rows of coldly swaying beef carcasses on hooks.

R70, you really aren't on Elie Wiesel's side in that scenario? They invited him to speak and he traveled a long way for it, but they started it late and cut his time short. I think he was right to be angry. They were disrespectful to him.

I’ve heard that Rollo Tomassi commits all kind of wrongdoing and never gets held accountable for it.

I took my nephew to a sci fi convention / autograph thing. Richard Dreyfuss was there doing autographs. My nephew didn't really care about him enough to pay for an autograph, but the way the line was structured, you could walk right by him and look. We walked by and we heard him saying to a very young kid (maybe 10ish), "Do you even know who I am? So you saw Jaws? What else have you seen? Nothing, that's what I figured. So you're just here collecting autographs." He signed the kids posted and basically threw it at him. It was very weird, and the kid was very confused.

Oops - *poster

R99 - I have a Richard Dreyfuss story. He's at best 5 ft. tall and while I'm average height I towered over him. Anyway, I was at work and bent over a couch to pin something to a bulletin board and felt a presence. I look down and there's Dreyfuss looking like a scared out of his mind as if I were Godzilla about to step on him. We didn't speak and I didn't even know he was there in the building that day, but I'll never forget the look on his face. He wasn't a jerk (although I suspect he usually is), just so strange.

R95, Dreyfuss was a decent actor and he has a respectable body of work, but shit, he ought to be grateful for the fact that he is remembered at all. And Jaws is a fucking classic that reaches generations beyond it's original audiences. Fuck Richard Dreyfuss. He had Jaws and Close Encounters. What else would a 10 yr old remember!

If Richard Dreyfuss is that much of a bitter asshole then maybe he shouldn’t do Cons. Does he really need the money that badly? Maybe that’s the true source of his bitterness…

Re: Richard - he must need the money - he's doing a ton of these autograph shows

At the horror convention I talked about up thread. I stood in line with my friend who wanted to get an autograph from some old porn star. Seka maybe? She looked like a fat old housewife. I held his phone so he could get a picture with her. He bought her book and got her autograph. After I took the picture she started yelling at me. "Why didn't you buy a book?" I said I was just there to hold my friend's stuff. She yelled what you can't read? It was getting uncomfortable. Same convention I saw Sharon Ferrell who I had worked with a loooong time ago. I figured she would not remember me. She looked up and I saw that spark of recognition then she got a big smile and ran around the table to hub me. OMG I have not seen you in forever, she said as she hugged me. Do you even remember me? I asked. She said, Of course from CBS, You were so sweet. I was floored. It had been about 20 years.

Someone told me that Steven Spielberg has a whistle that only Richard can hear.

R101 Sounds like Seka, yes. She does tons of these autograph shows. She was quite stunning back in the 80s, but now she's a fat white trash frau who lives in the midwest with her white trash husband and her real name is Dottie Patton. She's also a hardcore MAGA Trumper, which just floors me, based on her past.

A couple of years ago, a friend of mine invited me to a Zoom session where fans could join and ask Seka questions. I wasn't a fan, but I was curious about what she might have to say, so I joined. Before she joined the session, the Zoom moderator informed everyone that Seka was a "lady" and we were not to say or ask her any questions that were distasteful.

When she finally joined (she was 15 minutes late), she looked like crap and acted like she was bored out of her mind. Because no one could ask her any juicy questions, all she basically talked about was how she was so famous in the 1980s. She talked a little bit about dating Sam Kinison and some rock stars, but she offered nothing particularly revelatory.

Then at the end of the session, she started hocking her stupid autobiography and autographed pictures, and ended with this diatribe about how our country was going to hell and that we needed Trump in office if were going to survive. At that point, I logged off. I was tempted to tell her to fuck off, but I restrained myself.

What I find interesting in the Reddit thread is how many people claim to have terrible encounters with "celebrities" at cons. It also lines up with stories I've heard from friends. How in the hell do you attend these conventions, charge for an autograph and/or picture and have attitude?

^ because they're failures at Hollywood or fame and cannot come to grasp with their utter lack of importance.

Yeah, the cons are not the red carpet at Dorothy Chandler Pavillion. They’re probably bitter and depressed to be eking out a living amongst the unwashed masses.

Yeah Jack, this is Faye Dunaway... Look I've raced some of the stuff from the O'Neill interview but I'm not really interested in Terry O'Neill - he's a BIG, BIG LIAR and I'm really not interested in in him and you know all and dilly-dallying and carrying over Mommie Dearest...I don't even want to discuss it in my interview or on this Lloyd-Webber thing: those are NEGATIVES and I notice that you have nothing in about Marlon Brando, you have nothing in about Johnny Depp which I did two films with, I don't expect you to get get him for an interview, but you could put some footage in of the of the Kusturica movie which I was BRILLIANT in and it was not well sold in this country you can talk about the Marlon Brando film that I was wonderful in. All the POSITIVE things along that that period, the Marlon Brando film was going on at the same time that the Lloyd-Webber STUPIDITY was going on and you all have to put in the Lloyd-Webber STUPIDITY, you can't put in that I worked with the wonderful Marlon Brando and talk to the director of that movie FOR CHRISTSAKE! And I'm not gonna approve it and I'm really upset now because that uh for two nights now tried to thread through that STUPID interview with a with a man that I will not even waste my time discussing. And and you know who, suffice it to say, stopped working when he married me and pretended to be my manager for a very long time so LET'S NOT EVEN GO THERE! It's very upsetting to me! And then to put my uh our child in JEOPARDY the way he has. So I'm not interested in these NEGATIVE things that you all are putting in there with me in! I don't want Llloys-Webber in, I'd like you to cut him out, and I'd like you to really trim down everything to do with that Mommie Dearest, I'm not gonna talk about it, maybe one thing I'm gonna say about it and THAT'S ALL. It's just like uh you know an obsession, why can't you be obsessed about POSITIVE THINGS?! About Marlon Brando? About the Kusturica movie that was THE HIT OF ALL THE EUROPE AND CANNES? About uh, the film I did with Brando and talk to that, YOU KNOW?!

I had a couple of d-list friends who attended these things all the time. One was an old pro, this was the only way she could make her "monthly nut." She was always gracious with her fans. She knew where her bread was buttered. The other was a soap guy who's oxygen was attention from the fau who watched his show. He lived for the adoration.

I observed an Academy Award winning actress in a little store in Provincetown. She could not have been ruder to the poor salesperson. I want to respect her privacy, but let's just say I'd Fargo any future interactions with her.

Was this at Buckets 'R Us, R109?

R109 Would you recognize her if you saw her on a billboard? Or three?

R109, As someone who was a longtime neighbor of Frances McDormand’s in NYC, I can vouch for the fact that she is stone cold, the least friendly neighbor on an otherwise friendly street. That resting bitch face and inability to smile that she affects on award shows is her real life public persona — period.

Having said that, I haven’t seen her on my old street for years, not since before Covid. I had heard that she and husband Joel Coen relocated to LA during lockdown, their adopted son is grown up and has flown the coop and though I very occasionally see Coen srill around, never her. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn they are quietly living separate lives. She’s certainly cold comfort.

What I want to know is, did Faye Dunaway ever make a film with Brando?

R112 - OK, one more Frances McDormand story. Again, quite some time ago. I was at the Lortel for the Obies (not a nominee, but friends were) and I was coming in close to start time into a very crowded small lobby. I get to the interior door to enter the auditorium at the exact same time a woman's hand reaches out to grab the door handle, but I got to it first. I turned to open the door for her and saw it was Frances McDormand who glared at me like I had just kicked her in the cunt bone. I think she was insulted by the whole man-opens-a-door-for-a-woman pseudo feminist horseshit. After an eternal moment she finally just shrugged with a "fuck it" expression and breezed past me. And no, she did not say thank you let alone smile wanly. In hindsight, I wish I had said, "Age before beauty," but that probably would've gotten me kicked out.

"What I want to know is, did Faye Dunaway ever make a film with Brando?”

Yes, r133. Mommie Dearest, with Jocelyn Brando.

Oh, and Don Juan DeMarco, with Marlon.

My first job in NYC (late 80s) was working box office and house for a then-hugely popular, long-running show off-Broadway. They had brought in a "name" to boost ticket sales and prep her for the next national tour: Dody Goodman. At the time I was watching late night reruns of Mary Hartman and recognized her instantly. For whatever reason she decided to eat her lunch (tuna sandwich) in the lobby alone rather than backstage with the other actors and crew, so it was just me and her. I was working, walking back and forth and without approaching her I said, "Ms. Goodman, I really enjoyed you on Mary Hartman. I've been watching it lately in reruns." Without even turning to look at me she said, "My goodness. Do people still watch that thing?" Then went back to her tuna sandwich with vacant dead eyes.

Conversely, I was selling tickets one day to a different hit show and I got a phone call from Imogene Coca. She gave her name and began to spell it when I stopped her and said she was famous and I knew the spelling. You'd think I'd just gave her part of my liver. She was delighted to know someone so young knew who she was. It was touching, really.

So, fuck off, Dody.

Why I'll Never Be Polite to the Help.

Jesus Christ, R1 cunts about Reddit but this thread has everything BUT gossip. The Reddit thread is 1000% better than this shit.

The Reddit thread has many, many eyes on it. This place has a fraction of the active users.

That Reddit thread is great

I went to college with DJ Qualls and he was so fun and friendly. We had classes together and worked on a few group projects. I ran into him in a restaurant after he had a few movies out and we talked briefly and he was such a prick. Pissy queen. He lies about his age.

Speaking of DJ Qualls, is he still engaged to that actor no one would have pegged for being gay?

R122 don’t see anything that says otherwise.

R107, they asked for the rudest celebs, not the craziest!

Frances McDormand raped me. Left me naked on the kitchen floor.On the way out she flicked her cig ashes on my bleeding ass.

Hey R108 Kevin Spirtas? Hung around with him and he thrived on it. Can't blame him though.

I've had a few unexpected run-ins with Frances McDormand and once even had a long, gracious conversation with her. She is down-to-earth and friendly for the most part, though leery, I think, of movie fans who want to discuss her work from 25 years ago.

The rudest?

Hmm...

I've met a lot of celebrities and worked with quite a few as well, from Kanye to Liza. But the rudest one (and I hope I'm not forgetting someone who deserves it) was Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser, of all people. DOUCHE EXTRAORDINAIRE.

Roberta Flack

Worked with her twice. Diva, rude and uncooperative.

Not rude, but nuts: Wynona Judd

r129 How is that relevant to this thread, then?

Who cares, but I'd like to know why Wy is described at "nuts." Although I'm not surprised to hear her described as nuts, would be nice to hear some details.

I hear from my cater waiter buddies that Cynthia Nixon is nasty. More than one source.

I've heard the opposite, R132. I've heard Rojo Caliente is the cunt and Cynthia often has to play good cop when they are out and about.

What did/do r127 and r128 do for a living? Acting and singing?

Fess Parker

My parents told me that back in early 70s, they were in Vegas and were sitting at the bar of a restaurant. A woman came up and sat next to them, and my dad whispered to my mom that it was Joanne Worley.

My mother loved the show Laugh In back then, so she turned to Joanne Worley and said, "Miss Worley, I just wanted to let you know I love you on Laugh In."

Joanne Worley just kept looking straight ahead, rolled her eyes, then got up and left the bar.

She was a real cunt.

[quote] I hear from my cater waiter buddies that Cynthia Nixon is nasty. More than one source.

Cynthia Nixon is the new Tina Louise.

BeBe Neuwirth's neighbors will twll you what a cold bitch she is.

Cynthia Nixon doesn't tip. Bartenders hate her. especially lesbian bartenders she has stiffed.

R136 That’s awful. Apparently Charlize Theron is the same way and once did that to Tia Mowry at the airport. Tia had time and revealed it all on social media.

[quote] especially lesbian bartenders she has stiffed.

Cynthia should be so lucky

Actually it was a soul cycle class not the airport. I’ve also heard people on this site say she is a bitch. She seems like a bitch in this interview just one that is smart and media trained.

KRTH morning hostess (forgot her name but hate her and her laugh) always relates how Charlize showed up to a children's benefit and after her photos, she simply walked out leaving all those kids waiting for autographs in the lurch.

R143, how would these kids even know who she is?

R144, this was many many years ago. But anyways, if you've gone to any of these celebrity functions, the kids are always excited to meet anyone who's called a celebrity and I think Charlize had already won the Oscar. The DJ 's name was Lisa Stanley.

Were the kids retarded?

[quote] she simply walked out leaving all those kids waiting for autographs in the lurch.

Well, it's not as if those little bastards had much time left to enjoy it anyway.

[quote] the kids are always excited to meet anyone who's called a celebrity

I always counted on that.

R70 has something wrong with it.

Thanks for clarifying, R145.

R9- I don’t know if Elon Musk counts as a celebrity but he certainly counts as a

HUMPTY DUMPTY

A late but fun entry on that thread:

[quote]Ugh I worked at a super high end hotel and Vera Wang was just awful. She had her assistant tell the front desk to let everyone in the hotel know to not even look at her. Like wtf? She went into the restaurant and apparently had her assistant order her food for her and wouldn’t speak to the server. Oh and she looks old as shit in person, the whole “Vera Wang doesn’t age” thing is based off a whole lot of photoshop.

[quote]We also had JLo and Aaron Rodrigues come in. They demanded to be called Sir and Madam. It was bizarre because ARod had come in several times prior and was always extraordinarily nice to us all but was only rude when he was with her.

R131. I described Wynona Judd as nuts because she seemed rather unstable, always talking about the relationship with her mother, which was dysfunctional. She was unreliable about media interviews, rather scatterbrain crazy, and then continued talking about her screwball family on stage.

However, I will say, when she sang and joked with the audience, she was fun and put on a good show. She was entertaining and the audience liked her, and she has a good voice. I had to deal with her from a pr/media standpoint, and she was kind of annoying and nutty.

[quote]Fess Parker

I know that's meant to be a joke, but Fess Parker was really a very sweet man.

There's another hilarious one where Ronan Farrow pulled the "don't you know who I am" on someone and then emailed his Wiki to whom I suspect was his intended trick.

^ "OH! You're the son of that Rosemary woman with the devil's baby!"

R152- She sounds so fuckin uppity.

R139- At the same time this fuckin kook thinks it's perfectly okay for RIFF RAFF to steal up to $900 worth of merchandise from CVS and not be prosecuted.

Andy Coen was in a restaurant in Miami. His table was surrounded by his security, who told the waiter he did not want to be bothered by people. The waiter asked who he was, and when he was told, he said WHO? Andy would not order directly but would tell his security what he wanted, and they would tell the waiter.

R159- No one I am sure would bother to bother his CHUBBY , CROSS EYED self.

Funny and sad at the same time r159. Delusional Andy Cohen thinking he's this HUGE star, like Elvis. Ridiculous little man he is.

[quote] I got "Don't you know who I am?" from Ronan Farrow. He even emailed me his Wikipedia entry so l could read up on him.

[quote] My kid was at pre-school with one of Sam Worthington's kids, and he's very standoffish. Constantly skulks around with his hood up and won't reply if you say good morning. Lara Worthington's nice though and the kids are extremely sweet and well behaved.

[quote] Also, I say this kind of begrudgingly, but one of my kids in in sports with one of Alec Baldwins kids and he's a very friendly, engaged dad.Never see Hilaria, but he's there at every practice chatting with the coaches, hanging with the front desk guys at the rec center and sitting on the uncomfortable benches with the rest of the parents.

[quote]Andy would not order directly but would tell his security what he wanted, and they would tell the waiter.

This and R152's reminded me of something I read on DL ages ago:

[quote]On one flight, in first class, Cilla Black was refusing to speak to cabin crew, never saying please or thank you, issuing all orders through her PA. The full nine yards. Eventually the flight attendant grew so tired of her behaviour, he leaned over to speak directly to her: "I knew you couldn't sing, but I didn't know you couldn't fucking speak".

[quote] We also had JLo and Aaron Rodrigues come in. They demanded to be called Sir and Madam. It was bizarre because ARod had come in several times prior and was always extraordinarily nice to us all but was only rude when he was with her.

I love that JLo is such a bitch, it can't be contained and has to start infecting other hosts.

Bill Nye the Science Guy is a dick, which I know from two personal experiences. He's not necessarily a raging asshole, he's just a sour guy, which was completely at odds with the persona I knew so well from watching and loving his videos in school. I guess he was just playing a character in the end—that's showbiz!

does Sam Worthington even work these days? What a colossal fumble of stardom.

No, it was a colossal fumble that he FOUND stardom. Very limited talent, and evidently not very nice either.

Jude Law wasn’t to nice to me when I was canvassing by Washington square park for an internship at nightclub I had.

What did ol Baldilocks say to you r168?

R168 - If you'd been an 18 year old pretty girl offering to babysit, it would have been a much different story.

[quote]Andy would not order directly but would tell his security what he wanted, and they would tell the waiter.

I certainly hope CUNT Andy enjoyed his spit covered meal, R159. I would expect being security for CUNT Andy would be an easy gig given nobody gives a fuck when they see CUNT Andy in the wild.

r171 types like Proud Papa yapping about WINE.

Celebrities should never be given special treatment. They undermine the hard work that hospitality workers put in. They must make a reservation like everyone else. Order off the menu. Pay. And tip. If not, they won't be allowed back and will be shamed on social media. Celebrities are gross.

R169 “No I’m not interested in that” in the most arrogant British accent ever.

First job out of college was working at an entertainment PR firm, and the actors I met and worked with were generally pleasant people. It was their handlers (publicists, agents) who were quite often completely obnoxious

Nicole Kidman

r175 the trick there is it is the actors, they just let their people be the assholes so they can appear nice. Been in PR all my life in Hollywood. Never in my life have I met more demanding, entitled people. I had a tv actress once tell me she was going to Hawaii on vacation and wanted me to set up an interview for her with the local TV station so she could write off her trip. Not a big deal. She then told me she would insist they come to her hotel, she would do an interview over lunch and they would pay for it and she would only give them an hour. Oh and she wanted them to pay for lunch for her, her husband and her kids, who would be eating at another table. I told her I would ask but don't expect they would want to do all that. She paused and said "you are not very good at your job then are you?" I called her back an hour later and said "The station does not want to interview you. Your show is the lowest-rated show in Hawaii. I was able to get you a phone interview with the local paper. FYI I never asked the local station about the lunch part but they did decline to interview her lol,

R177 what was the actress’ name?

Fifty years ago, when I was at community college in Maryland, Harlan Ellison was hired by one of the social committees to come speak to students. Fifteen students showed up, and he screamed at us for ten minutes because it was such a pathetic crowd.

R64 - Ugh - I fucking HATE that. You tell people to be cool and prepare them and they do the EXACT OPPOSITE. I would be sooo pissed.

[quote]Fuck Richard Dreyfuss. He had Jaws and Close Encounters. What else would a 10 yr old remember!

If he's gay? "I don't like the panties drying on the rod."

[quote][R177] what was the actress’ name?

Shirley Booth.

Nicole Kidman

I thought it was Salma.

Salma Hayek. She can't keep her hands off me. I gave her some advice.

R136. I’ve met her and she’s delightful.

R166, Sam Worthington is one of the better things in Kevin Costner’s flop of a western, “Horizon,” and his romance with Sienna Miller is the only thing of any interest that actually works in the movie.

Sam is looking slightly worn as befits a fair-skinned redhead edging into middle age. But as someone who always liked his looks, I thonk he’s looking fine.

A friend of mine who was a limo driver used to work for a number of shows including Letterman and SNL. This was back in the mid to late 80s.

He said most of the celebrities he drove were perfectly civil, including famed horrors such as Lauren Bacall and Marlon Brando.

Letterman was cold and uncommunicative to the point of weirdness.

Paul Shaffer was abusive, whiny, always late, blamed the driver for everything, had a filthy mouth and was generally an egotistical asshole.

RDJ started out as friendly and talkative and then got sadder and quieter as things progressed. He was filming a movie (Less Than Zero, I assume) on the west coast between shows for SNL in New York and started looking more and more unwell. His last trip he burst into tears when he arrived at the airport. Since it was the last time my friend saw him I assume it was the day SNL canned him.

The rudest celebrities I ever met personally were through the art world - Richard Serra (pompous and theatrically bored by everyone), Maya Lin (insane bitch), the talent-free asshole Damien Hurst, the snobbish and class-obsessed Zaha Hadid. Alan Rickman was profoundly unimpressed by my attempt at conversation, but it was only a few months before his death and he looked ill and in pain.

David Copperfield.

r178 I will save it for the book as I am still working and if I say, it would take all of 10 minutes for someone to deciper who I work for,

Morrissey, hands down.

r178, I'll guess: Lauren Graham

My financial advisor used to events in Hollywood and she said the rudest she encountered—and not just on one occasion, was Jamie Foxx. Also, D-list and influencers.

R193. That tired bitch?

Who would even notice him?

R 182. So sorry to hear that abut Shirley Booth. Loved her performance in Come Back Little Sheba. So vulnerable. Well, I suppose that’s why they call it acting.

[quote] Shirley Booth.

Was Hawaii even a state then?

Chuckles the Clown

It was all an act.

Lauren Graham doesn’t have a husband and kids. I’m gonna guess Patty Heaton

R115 What I would PAY to have someone say to her face that they loved her film with Brando, only to then clarify they meant Jocelyn.

R182 was joking. Shirley Booth did not have kids.

An obnoxious child actress named Carrie Kei Heim. Worked on the set of her last film, The Parent Trap 2. Hated by most of the crew.

Julia Roberts, horrible woman, when she was still a junkie-Jason Patric was delicious looking at the time.

I was staying in the old 4 Seasons Hotel on Logan Square in Philadelphia, Pa. Junkie ho-bag but Jason was yummy looking as Fuck. I told her it's not hard for u to play the whore, but Jason Patric as a vampire, delicious. I told that story be.

^^^ told this story B4^^^

Well, I guess I give Julia R. credit for getting off of heroin.

[quote] I told her it's not hard for u to play the whore

Did you really say that to her face? If so, what was her reaction?

Jason Patric was yummy, in an elevator with the Junkie whore wrapped around him. It was 5am, we were both drunk, high and nasty. I always win that argument. No cameras in the elevators at the time. They were in rooms 755, 757& 759(the Presidental suite)-I was in Room 865, the 2-bedroom suite.

Julia was a real junkie cunt, if u confronted her, she backed down. I was "nasty as Fuck" back in the day. She didn't like the comment but she didn't come back at me.

The only celebrity I ever met was JFK when I was a kid and he was very nice.

R205, thanks! So, Jason Patric did not defend his woman's honor?

Some of these say more about the poster than the celeb. Jude Law didn’t erupt with glee when I tried to stop him on the street to ask him questions - most people wouldn’t. Terminally ill Alan Rickman wasn’t chatty enough for me.

I think this is the first rude celeb thread I've seen in a decade without a single post about James Corden cunting it up.

Asking for an autograph is pretty stupid.

Bothering people while they are eating a meal is also obnoxious. The bathroom should just be off limits. People are there to piss and shit, not put on a happy face for a selfie.

[quote]I think this is the first rude celeb thread I've seen in a decade without a single post about James Corden cunting it up.

Only because he's already been forgotten.

[quote]Julia Roberts, horrible woman, when she was still a junkie-Jason Patric was delicious looking at the time.

That was 1991, now it's Julia Roberts and who?

I've seen many celebrities on the street and in restaurants, bars etc. I would never dream of approaching them. It's so tacky and "touristy."

And WTF with autographs? Anyone can sign anything and pretend it's some celebs signature.

R208, I was introduced to Alan Rickman by mutual colleague, so expected him to be at least civil.

I had no idea he was terminally ill - he did not release that information.

I was disappointed in our encounter but chalked it up to him having a bad day.

I was correct.

R212 he's back in the UK. Perhaps some of the Brits will chime in.

R202, R205 what exactly did she say to you, or did you insult her without provocation?

Andy Cohen lived a few floors above me in Chelsea while he was having his place renovated. He was the rudest human being I've ever met -- rude to everyone in the building, including the very nice staff. What I remember most was that whenever he took the elevator down, he would tell the elevator operator not to stop at the floors where people were also waiting to go down because he didn't want to share the elevator with others. If the operator didn't do that, he'd report them to their boss. Luckily the super hated Andy as much as everyone else in the building.

R218 What a douche.

Wow r218 that is major asshole behavior. He's just SO famous and SO important.

People who treat staff/service workers rudely are just total trash.

James Corden is mentioned several times in that Reddit thread.

I didn’t realize that “elevator operator” was still a job! I’m by no means a high end New York real estate expert, but I’ve been to plenty of buildings with doormen and security who site behind a desk and to buildings where your key or code gets you directly from the lobby to your private entrance, but I’ve never been in a building where an attendant rides in the elevator car with you and presses the buttons/determines the stops. I’m shocked that’s still a thing in even the fustiest white-glove co-ops.

Who was she, r177? I'm picturing someone from CSI NY or some other forgettable show.

The Andy Cohen story is gross but the elevator operator should have had the balls to say no to him. He was inconveniencing the other residents.

She wasn't rude, exactly, but I was taking photos for a feature on a charity celebrity skiing event, and everyone was great about posing for photos except Jill Clayburgh, who burned holes in me through "keep away from me!" laser eyes. (I did get a photo of her glaring angrily at me, which needless to say, wasn't used). We ended up using Nia Peebles and that other kid from the TV version of Fame, and Catherine "Daisy Duke" Bach.

It was a long time ago.

^^^^ Peeples. Oh dear on me.

Julia Roberts was a heroin addict? This is news to me.

Angelina I can believe. She still looks like one.

[quote]r214 I've seen many celebrities on the street and in restaurants, bars etc. I would never dream of approaching them.

I think it depends how special the star is to you. If they’re one of your top three, lifetime idols, of course it’s fine to try to have a moment with them.

Fine for the approacher, perhaps, R229 - absolutely not fine for the celebrity unless they are at an event where they are working - red carpet event, for example.

Walking to the subway? Having dinner with a friend? Shopping for groceries? Absolutely not fine.

Why would you want one of your top three lifetime idols to think you're an annoying douche with no boundaries?

I've seen tons of celebrities, many of whom I'm a fan of, but I've never intruded.

However, if I ever saw Lynda Carter I would probably wouldn't be able to keep my shit together.

Most celebrities would be mortified if fans never approached them. It would mean their careers are over.

R226, Clayburgh was battling cancer for over two decades so that may have been a reason. During Unmarried Woman era, she was considered one of the most genial celebs around.

Can someone post some of the best ones on Reddit thread? If you have the time. I can’t find the thread.

This is a great Reddit thread: "What celebrities are actually assholes irl?"

R234 I felt dreadful about Jill Clayburgh, after reading your post and thinking I had been intruding on her cancer - but I looked up the dates, and the episode to which I referred took place during the mid 80s, so I am relieved to see that she was not yet ill and it was just me that pissed her off.

Phew.

R38 sometimes i use the onscreen keyboard and sometimes i toggle the caps lock and sometimes i don't. why the fuck would i lie about having a broken shift key?

R235 the Reddit thread is there in the link in the OP. You just have to “click” on it.

Or are you too lazy to read through the Reddit thread but want someone else to serve up a selection of highlights that may take your fancy?

[quote]Julia Roberts was a heroin addict? This is news to me.

It was around the time of "Hook" when she was dating Kiefer Sutherland. She's never looked like that before or since. Today they could fix it in post.

People get so stupid around celebrities. I took a friend with me to see the opening of "Here Lies Love" the dumb immersive musical about Imelda Marcos written by David Byrne who was there at the opening and standing about 5 feet away from us, swaying to his music and lip syncing to his own songs (adorable yet also a bit weird). My rather dimwitted friend really didn't know who David Byrne was yet after the show when we were having a drink in a nearby bar, the entire cast and team came into the bar along with Byrne and of course my stupid friend got into a tizzy and tried to insist we go interact with him even though he only vaguely had an idea who he was.

I snapped at him, "don't be ridiculous" and he pouted about it. In hindsight, I should have let him talk me into it so I could have said to David Byrne "Sorry to bug you but my friend insisted even though he only has a super vague idea who you are!"

Julia Roberts was supposed to be intolerable while making HOOK - hated by the entire cast and crew.

I believe part of it was that participating in the special effects was exacting and exhausting. And it must have occurred to her at some point that Tinkerbelle wasn’t a very good role for her. And her smile could’ve save her this time.

Hook is just more proof that Spielberg is an overrated director.

From that second Reddit thread — this made me laugh:

[quote]An old college tutor of mine once told me a story that a friend of his was involved in. He was part of a horn section and they were playing with Van Morrison on tour. Morrison is well known for being a cantankerous old bastard and during rehearsals was being a complete dick with the whole band, but in particular the horn section. He wouldn’t allow anyone to get lunch but went off himself to eat. Morrison had left his harmonica lying around so the entire horn section took it and swiped it in all of their arse cracks then put it back ready for him to play.

I briefly chatted with Laura Dern at an FYC event for that movie she did with Reese Witherspoon a few years ago and I was so excited, 8 loved her — she was friendly until my friend brought up the fact that I was as a teenager a super-fan of Jurassic Park — which I was but I’d have rather asked her about David Lynch now that I’m an adult! - and she went ice cold to us. A few years after I heard through mutual friends that she was a NIGHTMARE CUNT to Mike White during the making of Enlightened and I decided I don’t like her anymore.

R223 -- The building's on 15th street and it's not what you think. It's an older rental building that never put in buzzers for tenants' apartments. And so the elevator guy also acts as the doorman, since there is no doorman. Thus to go to someone's apartment you enter the building and have to wait for the elevator to return to the lobby so the operator can find out who you want to visit. It completely confuses people who've never been there before because they walk into an empty lobby with no buzzers and no people. Andy was there because he was renovating his place and the apartment he had was, of course, the only really nice one in the building with a terrace that supposedly was the largest in downtown.

oh yeah i'm reminded about my stepdad who was an extra in the 80s and 90s. he said jim carrey and leo kept to themselves but weren't mean. sharon stone was a bitch. kirsten dunst and the members of b*witched and pele were apparently cool.

I was in DFW airport and saw actor Jon Voight standing in line, by himself, to board an American Airlines flight. He was in the pre-board or first class line.

He was wearing a gray suit (with a tie, IIRC). He's tall. He was smiling and looking around the airport. He looked completely approachable, almost like he wanted to be identified.

Point is: this was one instance where it would have been OK to approach him, say hello, I love your work, blah blah blah.

Steven Segal from r236's thread (lmao):

[Quote] Did you hear the story of how he claimed he couldn't be choked out, so a judo master went "well... okay"? He not only choked him out, but Seagal even shit his pants when it happened.

R249 I wish that had happened in a pay per view. Many people would pay to see that.

Agree that the whole idea of an autograph is bizarre, but ours was srill a culture where everyone wrote and received letters. Also it was a way to get a star to look at you, ask your name, and give you a few seconds to stare at them while they looked down and wrote.

Asking for and taking a selfie with a celebrity probably takes about the same amount of time.

Liam Payne.

He trashed the room, then made a huge mess when he jumped off his balcony and tried to land in the pool.

I had to clean all that shit up.

Lots of accounts in r236 of Russel Crowe's mea culpa over being a prick in the past. Seems he's softened over the years. I'll bet that hit piece written about him in the Sydney Morning Herald had something to do with it.

Phillywhore, girl, you nasty.

Rudest: Clay Aiken.

Sweethearts: Adam Lambert, hands down #1, very huggy; Ronnie Spector; Yoko Ono; Ricky Martin; Little Anthony; Chad Mitchell Trio, all; Carson Kressley; Diana, Mary, and Cindy; Duchess Fergie; and he might not be considered a celebrity here but is a gem of a man, Jim Shore, tchotchke designer extraordinaire.

Rudest Politician: John Edwards, running for VP. Didn't want to sign my political poster OF HIM and John Kerry until I blurted out that Kerry had signed it. I never doubted the National Enquirer.

Nicest/Chattiest Politician: Mario Cuomo; Howard Dean.

I wish i could hug Howard dean

R69 - what an amateur. I shit in wigs.

R256, No hug, but a together photo! He was campaigning for HRC at the time; site was a small diner. Dr. Dean is cute as a button! He signed a little Jim Shore red/white/blue donkey figurine for me. He and I are 1949 Boomers, but he's held up better, haha!

I shit in bras.

The list of rude/asshole celebs on Reddit doesn't seem to change very much, does it? Steven Seagal, William Shatner, Ellen, Oprah, Dr. Phil, [italic]et al.[/italic] appear on those threads with wearying familiarity. It's interesting to contrast Reddit's shit list with the usual suspects here-- Lauren Bacall, for example, has just about the worst reputation on DataLounge when it comes to behind-the-scenes horror stories, but I doubt most Redditors even know who she was.

R260, on the thread listed, the runaway asshole was Tommy Lee Jones with Jared Leto a distant second.

So many celebrities seem to be miserable assholes.

Bitch should be grateful every single day that she has a big career as an actress with her ugly-ass face.

Do you troll every thread with bigotry? Get a life.

r254 you need to check out the thread, she's awful.

[quote]R85: Bowie chatted for a long time with my friend, while I sort of stood there trying not to gawk, trying not to fangirl, while inside I was literally exploding.

Literally? Then how the fuck did you write your post?

The Tommy Lee Jones stories are mostly anecdotes from service workers in San Antonio while the Jared Leto stories are mostly people saying they hate Jared Leto because they heard he's into blood play/fucked an animal/is a serial rapist.

We have a troll who is very triggered by the word "literally." Yes, your cunt 7th grade English teacher is posting here.

Literally?

You absolutely have the right to literally put your ignorance on display.

It's contemporay language, literally. Most people don't pretend they live in an Edith Wharton novel, unlike some of our eldergays.

[QUOTE] A few years after I heard through mutual friends that she was a NIGHTMARE CUNT to Mike White during the making of Enlightened and I decided I don’t like her anymore.

R245 She became a cunt once it dawned on her that Enlightened was intended as a parody of women exactly like Laura Dern.

Kiefer Sutherland is a notorious asshole.

To R272, Julia Roberts did it to him.

Turned him bad!

No, R271, it’s contemporary stupidity, spread by idiots like you.

R272 I don't think Mike White and Laura Dern held anything against each other. He wrote the White Lotus character that was played by Connie Britton. It was written for Dern but she became unavailable. She then contributed a cameo to White Lotus: Sicily

I’m glad Connie Britton played that role R276. I always love her in everything. She was perfect. I always see Laura Dern as….Laura Dern.

Should have told Dern she was amazing as the purple haired lady in the prom dress in Star Wars.

R107 I love how in that interview, despite calling him at 6 in the morning, she didn’t even say “Good Morning” just went straight and reamed his ass a new one.

R276,

I think they've made amends. But things got brutal between the two of them while making ENLIGHTENED.

The use of "literally" that people are objecting to on here marks you as stupid the minute you do it, R275. As does saying "like" all the time as in "so, we were, like, talking and then he, like, comes up to us". Both are contemporary usage, all right, but only by the very young, the stupid and the vapid.

r281 it's time to put down the gin and go prepare Mother's colonic.

I’d say the rudest I ever met was Liam Payne.

I hope that guy takes a flying leap.

(This has to do with people getting stupid around celebrities, not rudeness)- When we were kids we were stuck in traffic on the Cross Bronx Expressway and Larry Storch was in the lane next to us.

My brother and I, in the back seat of course, were all excited because it was Corporal Agarn from F Troop! My mother said "Larry Storch! I hate that guy!" Then she demanded we hand her her pocketbook so she could do her makeup and look nice for the "hated" Larry Storch if we got next to his car again.

My brother and I still laugh about this, I think we were on our way back to Massachusetts from the World's Fair. (The 1965 one, not the 1939 one, you infants!)

I used to work on the Marsha Wallace show. Her very very short lived talk show in the 90s. She was a GRADE A cunt. THe most unfriendly person I have ever met. When the show was cancelled they had a wrap party. Marcia was there and I put my arm around her and said 'You are the best person to work for we will miss you.." I think she could have killed me if she wanted too lol.

OH FUCK... I meant Marsha Warfield lol....damn Edibles.

Glad to know that, r286.

No, it was Marsha Mason!

Marsha! Marsha! Marcia!

For a second, I was heartbroken to think Mrs Krabapple was a bitch!!!

Lea Michelle. I don't want to go into it, however she is the biggest celebrity cunt I have ever met.

Sorry, but thanks for nothing, R291.

I'm so relieved to hear that, R285/286. I couldn't give a fuck about Marsha Warfield, who looks like a sour cunt, but Marcia Wallace is beloved.

I was once dragged to one of those Hollywood autograph shows about 15 years ago in Burbank. It was my first (and only) time ever attending one. The sight that broke my heart was a somewhat bereft looking Marcia Wallace trying to keep a welcoming smile on her face, but no one was coming up to her. I felt horrible for her.

R293, that is sad. Seems like some Simpsons fans would want her autograph, etc.

That's what I would have thought, too, R294. And she certainly wasn't the only one there who wasn't being mobbed, but most celebs who weren't looked more relieved than anything. The only people I was interested in eyeballing were Sid & Marty Krofft and Billie Hayes. No interest in autographed photos (or spending money on them) but I wound up doing so when I saw that Hayes was donating her proceeds to an animal rescue organization. We had a lovely conversation and I just adored her.

Are there any talk show hosts who aren't complete assholes? That job seems to attract a lot of unpleasant people.

I was with my friend at a farmer's market in Santa Monica. I got so excited when I saw K.D. Lang. I had to tell her Constant Craving was my all-time favorite recording and had played it hundreds of times. She gave me this nasty grin, said "Fuck You" under her breath and quickly went in the other direction. I thought what a fucking bitch. I couldn't believe it.

My friend took me aside, asked me "what the hell did you say to Lyle Lovett?"

Are you Jonathon Groff, R291?

r291 she shit in my wig.

I am sad to share this because I haaaaaate him so much but Pat Buchanan is incredibly friendly, easy-going, nice, etc. I worked at a media company in DC where talking heads would come in and shoot their segments/interviews. He was delightful. Always asked about us, wasn’t unctuous, was sincere. It’s such cognitive dissonance.

I waited on Newt Gingrich and his second wife in Tyson's Corner, VA and he was very nice and a good tipper. He's still evil, though. No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney.

Met Bill Cosby at an event for a library. He was every bit the asshole that everyone now knows him to be. On top of squeezing my chest (female). He also insulted the administrative staff for not having proper lighting ready for him and told another person she shouldn't be filmed in the PSA they were doing to promote adult literacy because her accent was not American.

R218- He probably hit on and or flirted with all of the HOT guys in the building and was rejected by ALL of them.

[quote]My brother and I, in the back seat of course, were all excited because it was Corporal Agarn from F Troop! My mother said "Larry Storch! I hate that guy!"

Aw. I knew Larry Storch personally.

One of the nicest guys you would ever meet.

I’ve met tons of celebrities over the years, and luckily not many of them have been mean.

The nicest were Seann William Scott (I know, I know), Selma Blair, Kathy Bates, Jane Krakowski, Rhea Perlman, NEil Patrick Harris, Lucy Liu, Dwayne Johnson, Aaron Neville…all I can think of right now.

I’ve met a bunch of low level semi famous authors and Broadway people.

I “met” in the loosest sense of the word, a few famous people who give you a glare like “I know you recognize me—DO NOT TALK TO ME”—Matthew Broderick, Liev Schreiber, Colbie Smulders…some old lady soap actress, can’t think of her name..

I would never think of just gushing and gushing over a celebrity or asking for an autograph. UNLESS I ever meet my favorite celebrity—all bets are off. I don’t know if I’d be cool. It’s

Julianne Moore, SERIOUSLY.

R304 my mother hated everybody.

R305, why do you say "I know, I know" about Seann William Scott? Is he not known to be nice?

Barbara Fairchild called me an asshole because I asked her to autograph an 8-track tape of hers I found inside a flooded basement one time.

Minnie Pearl

The late Jeanne Cooper was an absolute sweetheart. Brenda Dickson was is a cunt with a capital C.

I can second Jeanne Cooper. Met her once, she was warm and charming. She knew her job but it seemed more than that. She radiated warmth.

I'll add Jess Walton didn't play the game.... she was with Cooper at the time and walked off. Not rude, but not interested.

(R236) thank you. Appreciate it. (R238) Piss off, Karen.

From the infamous James Corden AMA Reddit:

[quote]Hey James. You won’t remember me but me and my friends sat at a table next to you and Harry Styles + some others in Manchurian Legends in London’s Chinatown about 6 years ago. We didn’t bother you but you were a massively entitled cunt who yelled and treated the waitstaff like shit and when one of my party politely suggested you calm down, you got really aggressive and threatening (in a chubby way. Like a boozy panda.) So my question is this; why did Harry seem so cool, while you were such a massive throbbing bellend?

[quote]My brother's girlfriend played one of your videos on my YouTube account and now it keeps recommending more of them to me. Do you know how to get it to stop doing that?

[quote]Ever thought about coming back to the UK? And if so, what can we do to stop you?

Tons of stories about what an asshole James Corden is. He's basically the male version of Ellen, but since he was nowhere near Ellen's level of popularity and cultural relevance he didn't get much media attention like she did.

For the Jeanne Cooper fans: consider reading (well, listening to) her audio book: Not Young, Still Restless (in her unique voice).

Anyway, a friend worked in a resort ('80s or '90s). Jeanne Cooper was staying there. One of my friend's coworkers, I think it was a housekeeper, was a huge Y&R fan. Jeanne took down this woman's name and address and mailed her a photo of the cast, autographed by everyone in the cast.

I realize Jeanne didn't mail the photo, herself.

Cordon's obvious is laying low to let Americans forget about what an asshole he is for a while. He's trying to salvage his rep in the UK by making a finale of the beloved sitcom Gavin & Stacey in the UK after several years. I hope to God the UK public says "Thanks, but you're still a cunt" after they get their finale.

My hate for him is also visceral because he didn't deserve the role in Into The Woods, one of many musical roles that could have deservedly gone to somebody else.

The James Corden AMA on Reddit is a classic. I've never seen the word "cunt" used more in any other Reddit thread.

[quote]Has there ever been an occasion where a celebrity would have rather slammed their lips into the car door instead of spending another moment in his company because he’s such an awful cunt?

[quote]Don't care about you being an asshole really, but this AMA taught me you're also a filthy anti-union scab. My question is do you think anybody will care when your miserable career finally withers?

[quote]Massive cunt in person, I saw a league of their own filming live, threw multiple tantrums over minor things at the production staff, with him being incredibly rude to them, which made the other regulars seem very awkward like it was usual, between each take the other celebs would be chatting amongst themselves - bantering about, James was glued to his phone. At the end of the filming people got up to go get pictures with James and he massively kicked off shouting at people to go away and to go back to their seats and the few he did let have pictures with he was moody as. Afterwards we went into a "VIP" tent as such for a beer (we were guests of people - anonymity for obviously reasons) and the celebs were going to be joing us, the other celebs came in and spoke with people, James came in for a brief moment, someone asked politely asked for a quick picture, he abruptly said "later" and the fucked off to I'm guessing his changing room for the rest of the night as they didn't get their picture before kick out time.

[quote]Seeing him like that made me realise everything you see of his on TV is a complete persona. And really his natural personality is just, a complete self entitled cunt.

[quote]The argument that he had with Patrick Stewart at an awards show was because the cunt was on his phone or something... while giving out awards.

Honestly, all three of the Roberts’ are completely unhinged in their own way.

Inga Swenson?

I listen to Smartless all the time. The other day they bandied about the question of enemies, based on the question "who dislikes you enough it would make you cross to the other side of the street if you saw them coming?"

Bateman said nobody, quite definitively. On here, there are claims he's a real asshole. So either he's entirely clueless, a shameless misrememberer or he could have just let it pass but didn't. He was absolute, which constrasts with what I read here (which could be total bullshit.) Anyway, it just struck me, is all.

Has to be the not-soon-enough-late Matthew Perry. The one of many stories of the young girls who waved to him from their car and he flipped them off. RIP Snark

Just sayin-maybe the fan following gets so tiresome and dangerous that celebrities are just over it-we will never know that experience being non-celebs.

Then they can move to a farm in Ecuador or something where they don’t have paps and stupid fans.

On the subject of being followed and the paparazzi, Jay Leno did this funny thing once. He would wave and move his lips, but make no sound, essentially pretending that the videographer’s microphone was off or broken. It’s very funny because you can hear the cub reporter muttering “awww come on, Jay”.

R324 They don't even have to go that extreme. Just moving away from the NYC/LA influence zone and they can live somewhat normal lives as long as they don't draw attention to themselves with extreme shit.

There are celebrities who live in CT and they're never photographed.

[quote]They don't even have to go that extreme. Just moving away from the NYC/LA influence zone and they can live somewhat normal lives as long as they don't draw attention to themselves with extreme shit.

I think that's why a lot of them choose New Orleans; a lot of people are unusual in some way and no one cares.

Guy Woodhouse

[quote] Jay Leno did this funny thing once.

Once.

On an 80% empty flight, OJ Simpson just grabs the newspaper I had put on the seat across the aisle from me and takes it back to 1st class.

You got off lucky.

R331, was this pre-1994 OJ or post-1994 OJ?

[quote]On an 80% empty flight, OJ Simpson just grabs the newspaper I had put on the seat across the aisle from me and takes it back to 1st class.

That would make me feel stabby.

1992, he was actually very chatty, but didn't bother to ask.

I have heard that OJ was very talkative and outgoing with friends and strangers alike, often to the extent that he made other people uncomfortable. There's a post on Reddit from a woman who wrote that she was having dinner with her fiancé and (pre-1994) OJ sat down at their table unbidden and proceeded to flirt with her and would not leave. She said that despite the weirdness of the situation he was amusing and charismatic.

Yes, I can't honestly describe him as rude. He might have been more charismatic if it didn't look like he hadn't slept in days.

r332 nothing to lose your head over.

[quote] My hate for him is also visceral because he didn't deserve the role in Into The Woods, one of many musical roles that could have deservedly gone to somebody else.

James Corden is an excellent social climber. Stephen Sondheim and Anna Wintour adored him.

Lucy Ball!

Contrary to r296's experience k.d. lang (kathryn dawn lang does not capitalize her name) was perfectly cordial to me when I rushed up to her leaving the building after her February 2018 Seattle concert. But I'm a true fan unobsessed with her only single that charted in the U.S.

It was probably a Sunday (her favourite day of the week) in the 1990s when you interrupted her shopping for fresh produce at the farmer's market. She was pre-Buddhist and possibly premenstrual.

She's also an introvert, as am I. Absolutely fucking gorgeous. The woman radiates peace and gentleness; I had an overwhelming urge to be hugged by her although I restrained myself. She allowed me to hold her huge, callused hand before signing two men's LPs - in that half minute we were a committed couple, our dogs and cats befriended each other, children were born - then I let go and after she had signed a couple of autographs though before she got into this boat of a car I blurted out I was Canadian too (it seemed important for her to know this). "That's good, that's really good!", she laughed. I wanted to say even stupider, pointless things but she and her small entourage had to leave.

R341, the person the other poster approached was not k.d. lang.

It was Lyle Lovett, whom the other person (R297, BTW) mistook for k.d. lang.

Thus the chilly response.

My favorite way to describe OJ is dead.

R341 were you able to share a slice of your nutloaf with her?

R107 Faye’s hardware must’ve been [italic]that[/italic] good for Terry O’Neill to not run away when she suggested they pretend that Liam was their biological son to the press.

[quote] and everyone was great about posing for photos except Jill Clayburgh, who burned holes in me through "keep away from me!"

Was Jill sick at the time? She later died of cancer. I met her a couple of times when she was doing a show at at a theater I worked. She was probably one of the most down-to-earth, casual, and friendliest "stars" I met. But everyone has an off day, I suppose. Maybe it's the way she was approached for the photos?

I received strong "keep away from me!" vibes from George Harrison at a post- F1 party once. He probably saw my eyes widen when I first noticed him because I had never considered the possibility he would be there. I tried to stay cool (and steered well clear of him) but I'm sure he easily recognised that I'm a Beatles fan. I didn't blame him for wanting to stay "off-duty".

R347 Did anything strike you about his in-person physical appearance, other than the off-putting vibes?

R347 - I wonder what celebrities think when they recognize the look on a person's face the moment they realize who they are. Is it scary, daunting, exhilarating, annoying? I remember working at a hotel once where celebrities would come and go often (NYC), and out of nowhere Shirley Jones and Marty Engels pop up in front of me at the desk. When I looked up my eyes must have popped a bit. I was thinking in my head, "Mrs. Partridge!" but Shirley must have seen it and gave me a steely stare of death as in "Don't even." Marty on the other hand was super nice.

I was rude to a celebrity unintentionally. I saw Barabara Barrie on the street who of course I had seen in Company. I was a kid and went up to her and said could I have your autograph Miss Harris? She looked at me coldly and said 'My name is not Harris.' I then realized my mistake and was mortified. I was with a friend who found it funny. I haven't spoken to him in years but I'm sure he remembers it. She was wonderful in Breaking away.

R350,

I've worked with Barbara Barrie on multiple occasions and she lives a block away from me, so I run into her on the street, and she's a total sweetheart. But even sweethearts have their limits... :)

I didn't really have time to study Harrison in any meaningful way, R348, I was so determined to not be a gawker. However, he looked damn good (this was the late-'90s). I felt pretty chuffed at simply rubbing shoulders (metaphorically) with a Beatle. There were about 30 of us in a roped off area in a nightclub celebrating after the race, so I was already lucky to be hanging out in such exclusive company. There were a few F1 drivers along with some of their team members but, after all this time, the only person I can remember being there was George. In that moment I was starstruck. Thankfully I had presence of mind to be discreet and not bother him.

I hope the Shirley Booth comment was a joke. Anyway Hazel was in the mid 60s so is the poster 95 years old?

Not necessarily, I remember Hazel because my babysitter liked to watch. 95 is more than 25 years off for me, if I'm fortunate.

I'm 61 (born in 63) and I remember Hazel...it was on TV for years , in reruns. Most sitcoms from the early 60s were available well into the very early 70s. And, of course the big hits, like Gilligan and Bewitched, lasted longer than that.

I think Hazel is airing on AntennaTV. It was last year.

The very late Boomers and the 60s born Gen Xers were the last generations who really watched LOTS of older TV shows and films, stuff from way before they were born because...they had no other options. Most of us only had 3 or 4 TV channels to watch (I was lucky and had 11 growing up because we lived equal distance from more than one TV market) and they all programmed old stuff. Once cable started circa 1980 and started taking off (not to mention video games taking over), kids stopped watching the old stuff, for the most part.

Ellen was rude the 2nd time we met whereas she was lovely the 1st time. Julia Roberts was adorablr. Jennifer Hudson was lovely then not so lovely 2nd time. Olly Murs is great. Angela Lansbury was fantastic. Kylie Minogue was everything youd want her to be. Simon Cowell was very charming and very short. Song writer david foster is a prick(wrote the Bodyguards songs) Kim Cattrall standoffish. Laurie Metcaffe is so down to earth. Colin Farrell nice but dismissive..he was busy. Ray Winston was great. Will I Am is so bizarre.. like a man child..huge gay vibes. or maybe just Not str8 vibes. Ant and Dec are great. Dermot O'leary great. Ruth Madoc was adorable. Nicole Shirzinger a dote. Graham Norton surprisingly reserved but nice. Larry Hagman and Linda Grey were the absolute best. Joan Collins cautious and wary..but star icon presence..but frail. Sophia Loren stared me straight in the eyes...so frail and her dress looked like it had scaffolding under it..but a real star with beautiful calm presence. Helen Mirren is fun and cheeky. 99% are lovely. Sinead OConnor was very tiny and reserved..shy even..but so pretty and you wanted to protect her. Liam Cunningham is a gorgeous man. Kelly Osborne is down to earth, fun and gossipy. Pamela Anderson adorable.

R358, what do you do?

[quote][R358], what do you do?

Name drop, r359.

R107 While I’m sure Terry O’Neill certainly didn’t help Faye’s career, it was really her first husband Peter Wolfe and his exposure to meth/heroin/etc. that did far more long lasting damage to Faye’s career.

Glad to hear Ant and Dec are kind pros. Given they're like the herpes of British media, they work with many, many people behind the scenes.

Why would Peter Wolf's drug problems do lasting damage to Faye's career? Is that one of the many things Faye blames for her career falling apart after Mommie, Dearest?

Faye turned 40 the year after Mommie Dearest and Hollywood has never been kind to actresses after they turn 40. She also had the disadvantage of having a bit of a reputation for being a pill and that didn't help either. She also made some poor choices and dithered about when she should have been seeking good roles and projects. But, narcissistic divas think things should just come their way without putting much effort into the process.

[quote]I think Hazel is airing on AntennaTV. It was last year.

AntennaTV and FETV daily, so eight year olds know who "Hazel" is.

R355 My Little Margie & Our Miss Brooks were my favorites.

R364 What 8YO are watching AntennaTV?

I would think that if Shirley Booth were making those demands it would have been during Hazel's prime time run in the mid 60s. I'm old, though not close to 95, but only remember it from reruns.

I have never heard anything about her personally positive or negative.

I guess we could ask Terry Moore and Tiana Elg.

Booth never had children and wasn't married when she did Hazel. She was known for being standoffish with other actors when she worked on the stage.

R363 she just revealed she suffers from Bipolar disorder.

Cocaine Heroin and Meth—which she was exposed to heavily during her marriage—are the last things someone with BPD needs

[quote] so eight year olds know who "Hazel" is.

Eight year old gaylings, anyway.

Everyone is Bipolar now...it's trendy.

Everyone is a narcissist now. Bipolar is so early 2000s

Wrong. Everyone is transgender now. Narcissism went out in the 2010s.

[quote] Everyone is Bipolar now...it's trendy.

I'm of two minds about that.

[quote] Bipolar is so early 2000s

It was so much more fun when we called it Manic Depressive.

No, everyone is autistic now.

Neurodiversity has entered the chat.

No you have to have multi descriptor now- Bipolar trans, Neurodivergent non-binary, Narcissistic fascist

R363- Faye Dunaway was rather washed up by 1980. Her last movie The Eyes Of Laura Mars was a total dud. Mommie Dearest did not ruin her career.

No. Her last movie was The Champ. And both it and Eyes of Laura Mars were box office successes.

1980 also brought Dunaway and Sinatra in The First Deadly Sin, a box office disaster that recouped less than half of its $8 million budget.

Kelly Osbourne was an absolute cunt to me. I went up to her at a party and asked how often she pukes a day to maintain her stick thin figure. She called me a cunt. How dare her.

How dare her??!!!

R383 ooooooh! You showed she!

R361 while I do agree with you that she should never have given Peter Wolfe the time of day, you’re overestimating how bad he was for her career.
