First-hand celebrity gossip

I always like hearing first hand dish on celebrities. So, for those of you who've met a celebrity . . .

Who's nice? Who's an asshole? Who looks like roadkill in person?

Spill!

I've met Mel Gibson- Not A Whack job! Actually really nice guy , has a total "Fun Uncle Vibe" He is also HELLA good looking and giddy girl charmer IRL.
Peter Jackson- reeeeeelllly shy looks so Anonymous!
Eli Roth ( director of Hostel)- FUCKING hot. Not just hot, FUCKING hot. Total cool goober IRL. Total Horndog.
I don't know him personally but a lot of my friends hang out with Tarantino. By all accounts totally cool guy. Geeky on a level that its almost majestic...lol.

I've met a ton of Politicians, but I don't think they count as Celebrities...lol.

I've met a handful of celebs through the years but I'm not going to dish on the open board because I really don't want to draw the wrath of deranged fans like I have in the past. If I can think up cryptic fake names that point to who they are perhaps I'll post some stories.

Tori Amos is extremely nice. I met her at a sheet music store near a venue she was playing. I had to pick up some music for my dad who was a piano teacher. I'm a huge Amos fan and approached her. We sat down and talked for a good 15 minutes.

David Crosby is nice but looked bloated and had really blotchy skin. He was in the same sheet music store where I met Tori Amos. I saw Nash and Still but they were surrounded by other people asking for autographs.

Dorothy Hamill (figure skater) is a complete and utter bitch. I was in an event at which she was skating. She didn't do too hot and came off the ice swearing and shoved me out of the way. Hello! I was 5 years old!

Scott Hamilton (figure skater) is so nice. He was good friends with my skating coach and came to skate in the local ice show. He was really good with the kids. I remember him picking me up and skating around the rink with me on his shoulders. It was right after he won the gold medal.

Close relative met Steve Martin and liked him quite a bit.

I met Juliet Mills and Josh Ryan Evans and McKenzie Westmore and some others from Passions like Jesse Metcalfe who was John on Desperate Housewives as well at a Passions fan event back when the show first started in like 2000 and they were all really nice (b/c they were still mostly unknown) but Juliet Mills is rather famous especially in England I guess and her much younger husband is famous too for Grease 2 I think and yeah they were all really nice and took pics w/ me and my friend and signed autographs and the lady who plays Sheridan (McKenzie Westmore) was telling me how she likes the store Express like I do and bla bla bla; she was really gorgeous in real life and Juliet Mills was super nice! for someone coming from such an illustrious family like hers, I believe that Lawrence Olivier and Vivien Leigh were her god-parents for godsakes!

I also met Bud Bundy and LeeLee Sobieski and they took pics w/ me and my friends at some lame premiere a few years back too

Angelina Jolie

Well I didn't meet her but my bestfriend did in January 2006. I posted a thread about it on here. My friend was renting a room from a family living in Paris and Brad and Angelina brought Maddox to the ballroom beneath my friend's room, whilst Angelina was doing a maternity photo shoot for St John.

Apparently she is very softly spoken and kind and generous but not quite as breath-taking lookswise as she'd thought she would be. Though she was about five months pregnant at the time.

She also said she liked the name 'Rebecca'. No mention of Africa or Benin!

My dad was on the concorde with Richard Gere once. He was doing wierd Buddhist prayer stuff. My poor dad thought that my sister and I would like an autograph from the guy (he couldn't have cared less himself), so he asked him for one very politely saying it's for his daughters. Mr. Gere rolled his eyes and gave a big sigh saying, "That's what everyone says". My dad was like fine, don't give the autograph but Mr. Gere gave it anyway although he made his displeasure clear. My sister and I tore it up and threw it away.

I went to the same college that Leelee Sobieski briefly attended. There was this transportation system around campus involving vans. One time I was on it and someone flagged it down in the middle of the street where there wasn't a stop. Leelee and some really rude guy get in. He's on the phone the entire time yapping and all of a sudden yells stop after we've travelled like ten feet, again somewhere that isn't a stop. They get out and he's obviously oblivious to how rude he's being but she does apologize for their behavior. She had impossibly long legs and a very nice figure, that's about all I remember. She was wearing blue spandex leggings which I hope were for a workout.

I've also seen Danny DeVito driving his daughter around campus in a ginormous SUV. He's basically an oompa loompa. And I've seen Susan Sarandon's daughter too, not much to say about her.

My celebrities are pretty D list.

El snippo - I don't wish to be sued.

LynnieD · May 23rd, 2006, 01:48 PM

Wow Gator! You should write a column!!!

I know the Canadian--won't mention his name. Seems like a loser.

And I think I know the comedian, but maybe not.

You got the goods girl!! Cool!

El snippo part deux!

Another celeb is from Canada ironically enough as he starred on a highly rated drama that recently ended about the US Military. He has three names. He's nice enough except he's extremely dull, like he doesn't know what to say if someone isn't feeding him the right lines. He's emotionally stunted and has lots of big secrets. The biggest being that he had an illegitimate child who's mother he never married. Five years ago the child died a young woman of a rare form of cancer. This guy was completely unable to turn for emotional support to his wife, turning instead to a few people he'd worked with and strangers.

I know who this one is

And one half of the couple living in Africa? He was weird, spacy and usually stoned, great big clouds of weed smoke surrounded him much of the time. He was nice but just because he was utterly stoned all of the time.

Now his girlfriend of the time, she who has a fruit named daughter? She was a high handed uber bitch on wheels who thought her shit didn't stink and she was too good to interact with anyone not more famous than herself.

yeah I've heard that bout Brad since I moved to L.A. and I could tell that Gywneth is the biggest bitch around- i wish someone would tell her how ugly she is and that she ain't that great a actress

A greasy C-List actor who was in "Oz", "Third Watch", and "Homicide" and was in "Selena" with JLo has a nasty habit of never washing his hands after defecating on set. He's also got blackmail material on a certain director who keeps casting him in pilots even if he cannot act his way out of a paper bag.

I'll post the answers tonight

ewww omg i know who this is too b/c i was absolutely in love w/ him on Oz and sat through Selena just to see him once, but thats so sick!

is JHo hygenically-challanged too?!
