Rudest celeb you've met?

Slaygal · 25-08-2010 12:57pm

In a outlet in Las Vegas last year, we spot him and asked him for a photo he completed ignored us. So my Sister asks his bouncer who said No, Usher is busy shopping for his kids.

RE: Usher
Everyone is entitled to shop in peace all he had to do was say No instead he glared at my sister like she was piece of sh!t on his shoe and then His 6ft plus bodyguard roared at my 5ft 2 Sister and almost knocked her over that's why I think he's rude.
Manners cost nothing.

Once I met/was sitting next to Hector at the Comedy Carnival about two years ago.

Had just seen his show with Tommy Tiernan and really enjoyed it, so when he say down in the table next to us at a gig later that day, I leaned over and said that I thought his show earlier was brilliant and would he and Tommy be doing anything else together, and he just replied "yeah yeah, dunno" without even making eye contact and just ignored me more or less.

I still think he's a good laugh when I listened to the Tommy & Hector show but he came off as quite rude that day when all I was doing was paying a compliment. Ah well.

Is that not just what he does and he thinks he is being a comedian. The only reason people should talk to him is to abuse him.

I remember watching him years ago in temple bar, just slagging off all the tourists etc. Anyway this junkie came along and start telling everyone not to throw money in for savage. He said "you're all just paying for his coke habit, He'll be down in **** ***** house later buyin coke, he's mad into it".

Well I tell ya, savage packed up with a big red face on'em and said he was finished due to heckling. Funny thing was, I'd seen him deal with hurrendous heckling before from a load of lads and that didn't provoke a red face and move elsewhere. Maybe the thoughts of savage having a chippie in common with said junkie, was just too much to handle in public. The junkie sure seemed to know him!!:D

Shane McGowan - Dropped the wife off at Dublin airport at 5am, 2 years ago, and thought I'd grab a coffee before heading home. Found your one in the coffee shop / bar at International arrivals with a pint glass of gin in hand (watched it being topped off, thus I know it was gin), said "Hi there Mr. McGowan", got something like, "Gssshh lkjdfsuiisi asdkj feckin' cnut" as a reply. Choice bloke, even a barrel in

Not really a celebrity but my dad met Mary Robinson, right bitch he said, only out for her image and the lowly peasants can go hang.

Anyone know what Ed Byrne's like in person? Wondering if he's as whiney and moany in person

Didn't seem whiney and moany to me, but as you'd expect he's a bit of a smart-arse off stage too

..but then i seem to be one of the five boards members who doesn't have have a beef with him.

Brendan O Carroll - met him at Dublin Aiport, i politely said Hello Mr. O Carroll he looked at me like I had called him a ****** or something - small man syndrome!

Kaiser Chiefs - in Amsterdam with my family. My dad thought they were trying to mug me when i ran after them. They were very nice about it and again more than happy to pose for pics! Again smelled yummy and alot hotter/slimmer in real life; the camera does nothing for ya Ricky!

Michael Madsen - signed and posed but god love him I don't think he realised he had done either if ya know what I mean

Sebastien Loeb - hot as ****!!! Have fancied him for yonks. He talked on the phone the whole time I was trying to get a photo with him but I eventually got his attention by grabbing his ass.

Dani Sordo - very friendly and alot more obliging.

Likewise - Mikko Hirvonnen

Frank Kelly seemed nice when I met him.

Bryan McFadden was a whole lot hotter in person but totally loved the attention he got from the younger girls.. disturbing

Miriam O Callaghan was very nice imo!

Cillian Murphy - was very shy.

Lived near ROG for years. He is odd as be ****ed. Well was then anyway.

BTW I am not a stalker just observant when I am out!!

Cillian Murphy before he was famous. I was at a screening of an Irish-made movie in which he played a mental patient (this was about 2001), and he appeared in the bar of the venue afterwards, standing right beside my friend and I, looking for his mates. Very charismatic and, I'd say, a little shy.

We went up and my friend asked and he grunted, turning his back to us on purpose,tilting his sunglasses down, saying to his friend : "seriously?! can i not have one minute to myself?"

shocked

He must have been in a bad mood lol because my auntie met him on a flight to LA and she said he was lovely

they talked for a while then he signed a magazine for her and she got a picture when they got off the plane

A guy I know went on a stag with Kian a few weeks ago and said he was great company

But then again my sister said he was a **** when she met him

Worked for Coca Cola at Wimbledon tennis championships many years ago and was struggling out of a lift with a trolley of crates, when f*cking Cliff Richard barges me out of the way and makes some rude comment about not be able to get the staff these days...w*nker

Funny thing is that I had to deliver some post-mix boxes to the men's changing rooms later the same day and Pete Sampras held the door open for me and was a complete gent!

I realise it's been quite some time since you posted this comment but I had to reply as I also have heard from one of the ball girls at Wimbledon that Pete Sampras was (and no doubt still is!) exceptionally polite, thanking them for their assistance in the matches and always having time for them. It's a pity that some people defined Pete as 'boring' due to his lack of histrionics and his polite manner and reliance on superb tennis rather than drama to be successful!

Twink. Ive had a number of interactions with her and have never found her to be anything less than totally false and rude.

Are we allowed tell stories of cool celebs?

Josh Homme walked past my shop in Dublin about 2 years ago. I didn't have a ticket for the Queens of the stone age gig that night so i went out after him and told him about my problem. I told him i could get them online but people were charging over 200 euros a ticket. He said " I fvckin hate muthafvckers like that, how many tickets do you want"

Long story short i rocked up to the Ambassador that night and sure enough Me +1 was on the guest list.

Nicotine,Valium,Vicodine, Marijuana, Extasy and Alcohol CCCCCocaine!!!!

What a night

I met Pritchard (from Dirty Sanchez) on the piss in Cardiff after we beat Wales to win the Grand Slam in 2009.

I went over and shook his hand. He looked at me, looked at my jersey, and told me to "Go home and pick some potatoes".

I actually cracked up laughing at him he was so funny!

Rudest has got to be Boy George,what a fat tosser,followed by the weird Ang. Joli.Most Irish "celebs" I've met have been very cold and rude except for Marion Finnucan,she is a lovely person,we chatted for ages.Nicest celeb EVER,BRUCEY GROBBELAAR,liverpool legend, very very friendly.Great guy all round.Ohh some friends met Michael Jackson a couple of years ago on a flight to Bahrain,they said he was an angel,chatted to tons of people and posed for dozans of photographs.no problem.

....was in a restaurant in a hotel last year in dublin the day after going to a Bruce Springsteen gig. My other half spots Bono sitting with someone at a table behind us. I had my back to them. OH wanted to go over and ask Bono for an autograph. I was mortified and was saying there's no way, and not to go up to him in a restaurant etc etc.

Anyway when Bono left the table to go to the bathroom, up she walks to his friend and asks if he thought Bono would mind signing an autograph. Friend says he didnt think he'd mind. OH comes back to the table and we continue eating.

5 mins later Bono comes over, signs autographs, has pictures taken and chats away for a few minutes. We say thanks a lot and continue eating. Laters when we are leaving the hotel, bono and his friend are leaving too. Outside were a bunch of screaming fans shouting "Hey Bruce" and the like to Bono's friend.

First time I've ever known her to not be able to say a word! My excuse was that I had my back to them and didnt see him. She had no excuse being a huge Bruce fan! Both very nice as it turned out.

Rudest celeb you've met?
