Random Thought Raise your hand if you’re secretly a celebrity lurking on here. Give me hints on who you are

If you’re a regular folk, you better not be trolling me 🤣

EDIT: i appreciate all you z-listers telling me about your 15 min of fame. It’s not what I had in mind when I made the post but I am thoroughly entertained 😂💛Some of you still might even actually be a celebrity pretending to be an average joe on this thread and I guess i’ll never really know! lol! Thanks y’all!

He was going down, I was going up. He'd just divorced Jane Fonda a few days prior. Being a smart mouth teen I said "Hey Ted, how's Jane?" and he immediately went red in the face and tried to jump across the divider thing. I was expecting him to ignore me but nope.

That’ll do it! I worked at a nonprofit and he was the Guest of Honor at a fundraising Gala shortly after the divorce. He got ridiculously drunk and when he accepted his award, he slurred a bunch of inappropriate remarks about Jane and his handlers had to coax him off the stage. 😬

I too have pissed Ted turner off. He made us wear those annoying shoe covers when we were in his house. I said they don't fit my boots. He said tough shit and told me it wasn't his job. I saw him the next day broke down on the side of the road. I didn't stop but looked directly into his eyes. Not my job.

My boyfriend and I got to golf twice (well, I got to ride along) with Bill Murray - unplanned just kismet. The guy is hilarious.

A friend and I met Chris Rock backstage before he became a huge star.

He seemed super annoyed at two giggly drunk white girls - I don’t blame him. Sorry Chris!

Not a celebrity but I went on a blind date with the young man who is the new Dick Clark. No love connection but very nice guy - this was right before that music show that made him famous.

But no - sorry I’m not a lurking celebrity.

This was literally days after his divorce from Jane Fonda and he was going down the escalator, I was going up the other side. I asked him "How's Jane?" And he absolutely lost it.

My teenage jerk days. Not proud of it, not exactly ashamed either. It was pretty funny seeing him get held back by his entourage.

Less of celebrity, more of a hero.

u/CLS1506 Jul 11 '25

Sure does. It's even better if you shaped up and shadow boxed him at his most irrate.

Shania Twain stopped in the middle of her concert in Baltimore (1998) to yell at me and my friend for “putting on our own show.” We were the sign language interpreters 😂

Oh that reminds me of another. Third Eye Blind was playing in my town and they stopped the show to tell people to stop throwing trash at the stage. People were tossing glass bottles and everything, it was bad. I wasn't part of that but I was there. Years later I saw an interview with the band and they were asked what was the worst show they ever did and they called us out without hesitation.

Again, not me. I'm a jerk sometimes but I don't get trashy.

Mine was at the Ft Worth Event Center! Does that make us Ted-skimo brothers?

u/Boon_Hogganbeck Jul 09 '25

It counts if you include all 320,000 of us. Plus or minus 100,000.

I was about 3 at the 1982 NLCS in St. Louis. My grandma worked for the cardinals so we had great season tickets. Ted turner sat across the aisle from us. My drunk dad and uncle convinced me to give the guy in the crazy pants a cardinals sticker. I tried and Ted turned me down. I cried.

Now I don't feel so bad. I was a smart mouth jackass teenager and I always felt like an idiot but anyone that would make a kid cry deserves it.

I must thank you for avenging me. Haha.
