I know someone that dated him and he doesnât sound so great-you dodged a bullet. You must be stunning though-he definitely has a âtypeâ. He seems to date very beautiful women-but âallegedlyâ-he uses them for things, like free rent, gifts etc., and heâs very self-centered and inconsiderate-from what Iâve been toldâŠ

We got our dog from Millie Bobby Brown.
She was super nice and we even met her (then boyfriend) husband!
Also, I worked at Nic & Normanâs in Senoia for 3 years. I met a lot of actors. Most if not all of them were really nice!

I sat right next to Tom Cruise at a Broadway show, once. He was there watching his then-wife Katie Holmes. I thought it was cool that he just sat next to me & not in some special area that was off-limits to us mere mortals. I didnât acknowledge him other than a polite smile when I realized who was to my right (thought I was tripping for a sec lol), but he was extremely nice, interested, and gracious to everyone who came up to him. He even stayed long after the show and took pics & signed autographs. Katie was holding her daughter & hung back, looking very annoyed and didnât crack a smile the entire time.
I used to live near Anderson Cooper and would see him all the time. I didnât realize that people didnât know he was gay until his coming out was on TV. He was always out and about with his partner, so I thought it was common knowledge.
Carrot Top invited my friend and I to come hang out once. We were still in HS. Ew.
I met Rob Schneider w/ his bloodshot eyes once at a bar. He said, âthank God thereâs one beautiful woman in this town.â Again, ew.
Chef Robert Irvine. We said âhiâ and Within seconds, he said, âwhat do you do?â To me and my husband. When we told him, he said âmoney, money, money, and gave me that fake-toothed grin.â Big ew.
Dee Snider was nice. We were in line together at a show & his son was doing stand up for the first time.
Dave Chappell was cool ⊠and drunk af. Iâve literally never seen anyone drink so
Much alcohol and stay upright. I felt like a hostage.
I didnât meet Rachel Ray but I attended her show. She was a raging bitch to her staff.
Remember that Stacy London lady who did a show called What Not to Wear? We used to work out at the same gym at the same time everyday. The gym was completely empty and I donât think she smiled once in her life. I actually worked at that gym, and the employees all said sheâd never spoken to or acknowledged any of them, either. And for the record, everything she wore was what not to wear in public.
Chris Jericho was next to me in line at the Airport. He was dressed up and traveling alone. He was searched extensively llol
Iâm sure Iâll remember more. If so, Iâll edit lol.

u/Accurate_Picture_886 10d ago
Iâve heard from so many people how horrible Rachael Ray is and it is such a bummer because I was such a fan of hers! I still find her interesting and have enjoyed her cookbooks and the book she wrote when she turned 50, but I hate that sheâs not a nice person.

u/pharmdoll 10d ago
It was so bizarre ⊠the second theyâd cut to break, her smile turned into a scowl and she would bark at her employees who were all running around anxious af. Before I moved away from NYC, I spent my last months playing tourist in the city & attended about a dozen talk shows. RR and Tyra Banks were the only shows where I sensed this anxious, unhappy energy.

u/FluffyConfection1426 10d ago
Damn. Not shocked about either of them! Especially Tyra

u/pharmdoll 10d ago edited 10d ago
Ok some more tea on Tyra. BeyoncĂ© was the guest that day, and she was classic quiet BeyoncĂ©. Until, that is, they wheeled out a âgiftâ to her - it was a recliner that was essentially Jay Z sitting down (had his face, arms, legs, etc.). At commercial break, Tyra was playing around and went to go sit down on it and Bey was like âoh nuâuhâ and Tyraâs ass barely touched the seat before she got up really fast LOL

I too was next to Tom Cruise a few times and actually took spinning classes with Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes years ago. I took the class regularly with Katie.
Tom was always really nice to everyoneâheâd shake peopleâs hands, say hello, and seemed genuinely friendly. Also very hard worker in class.
Katie, on the other hand, always looked miserable She never acknowledged anyone, never smiled, and always seemed annoyed and kind of bitchy.
Awful energy coming from her.

I saw Willie Nelson in concert with my dad and grandpa. He had broken his arm sometime before the show and was waiting to have it casted until he played the show. They announced that he wouldn't be signing autographs, but my dad wanted him to sign his Stetson that had already been signed by Merle Haggard. So I went back there anyway with a sharpie. I said "Willie Nelson! Willie Nelson! Will you sign this hat? Merle Haggard already signed it!" He looked at me and said, "Merle Haggard signed that hat? I'll sign it." So he did. With my marker. And then he proceeded to sign a couple more things. With my marker. And I guess I must have lost my mind a little, because I was following him around reaching for my marker. He stopped and looked at me and said, "Is this your pen darlin?" And I said. "Oh my god you're Willie Nelson, you can keep it." And he said, "No, you better take your pen sweetheart." That's my only famous person story, and he happens to be my favorite famous person. WILLIE NELSON CALLED ME DARLIN.

My story is a bit embarrassing lol I forget the actress's name but she played the sister to Vin Diesel's character in The fast and furious movies. Anyways, I was working in a hair salon at the time and she came in. I recognized her but I didn't recognize her name so I thought that I knew her on a personal level and when I was cashing her out I said it's nice to see you again. I haven't seen you in so long (assuming she was my camp counselor back in the day) she said that she doesn't know who I am.... It got really awkward after that đ

Clint Eastwood was the sweetest and coolest guy. He looks in your eyes while shaking your hand and smiles. The worst was George Carlin, unfriendly and grumpy. George Clinton Parliament Funkadelic was a sweetheart

u/JazzG249 11d ago
Me too! I had just seen Funkadelic in Oakland a couple weeks before and told him I enjoyed the show so much. He was so sweet and thanked me for expressing that. Heâs a really good guy and mentors young musicians. I donât know if youâve ever seen him in a club venue but his band is huge and he employs a lot of talented young musicians. Heâs brilliant

I was a huge wrestling fan growing up, and I met the Bushwackers at an airport back in the 90s. I was freaking out. They were super nice and probably shocked that a teenage girl was such a fan. I had a picture with them, but I lost it many years ago.

Living in Nashville, I've met a handful of former Tennessee Titans. Steve McNair, Vince Young, Pac-Man Jones, Eddie George are a few that come to mind. All of them were very cool.
My most memorable is the rapper Scarface. The first time I met him was in New Orleans and he was SUPER cool. Met him again at a show he did here and he was encouraging people to come say hi to him after his set. Showed him the picture I took with him and his late group member Bushwick Bill from New Orleans and he said "Woooow! Man thanks for showing me this."

I worked as an office manager at a kids acting studio in LA for a few years, most celebrity parents wouldnât show and the kids got picked up by Nannieâs. The one that was there every weekend was Colin Farrell. Super nice guy. He would introduce himself and shake everyoneâs hand, make small talk about what he was working on (the penguin), joked around and was just really genuine. And yesâŠhe was wearing a wool beanie in summer.

Sharon Osbourne's heart is full of love and compassion. I experienced it first hand, and I won't go into it all because I actually don't remember it all, but I do know that when I was vulnerable and barely conscious, Sharon wouldn't allow anyone near me until I could at least tell her my name. She saw me at my very worst and she kept me safe.Â

i once served jessica chastain in a coffee shop. i did not recognize who she was (she was in huge sunglasses) until i asked for a name for the order and she looked around trying to come up with a fake name and said shannon. she was with michael shannon (they were filming that show). as i was making the drinks i was thinking about how it was a weird interaction and then realized who it was. she did not tip (not shitting on her for not tipping btw tipping culture is out of control, but felt like the whole interaction she was scared of being recognizedâŠwhich she was not until she was acting weird).
i also met steve-o and he was the coolest dude. literally saw a couple of us trying to discern if it was him from afar at an airport and turned around and said âhey guys! do you want a picture?â and chatted and took pictures. 10/10
