just reading the rudest celeb you have met and its full of stories of celebs being arrogant and saying rude things to ordinary people/fans, anyone ever experienced this but came back with a killer line or just tell them to f**k off and put them in their place?

I was once talking to Roger Dean (artist who painted the Yes album covers) in about 1980. Duran Duran who were fairly unknown were making an 'appearance'. Simon Le Bon asked me if I was waiting for an autograph. I said "No, I'm just talking to Roger Dean".

Does that count?

Told Noel Gallagher (Oasis fame for you kids) to **** off once when he turned up at a night club I was working. Threatened to "smash my teeth in" after getting refused, used the whole "do you know who I am" ****e. Got bored so told him to **** off somewhere else.

Not me but my dad seen The Edge from U2 walking into his studio just off Ringsend. Edge saw him looking and smiled and stood at the door for a sec, probably thinking he wanted an autograph or something. My dad then shouts "YOU LOOK STUPID IN THAT HAT!!" and walks away. The smile quickly left his face and he walked inside in huff.

Years ago, when I was working in a pub, Bruce Jones (aka Les Battersby) came in bladdered and was promptly refused.

'Are you saying I'm too drunk?' he shouts

'No', says I, 'it's just that we don't serve twats in here'.

The Edge comes across a bit better than your Dad in that story, to be honest.

I saw Katie Price get burned in my local nightclub whilst she was doing a guest appearance. She was posing for a photo with a fella nicknamed forty (40 bellies).

Lads were jeering "Get your tits out"

Jordan wasn't impressed and said "in your dreams guys"

So someone responded "we're not talking to you, we're talking to forty!"

Why did you tell him to f*ck off in the first place?

Note to your Dad: That's called "being a dick"

Kurt Angle was singing autographs in HMV on Grafton Street and when he finished, he was hurried out the back doors. Some kids dad was there asking him nicely for an autograph for his kid and Kurt told him ''no'' and proceeded to jump in to his van.
The man replied, in typical Dubliner style ''Ah Kurt! Don't be gay!''
I cracked up laughing. Still makes me laugh to this day

I thought it was pretty funny, actually.

No children or animals were hurt.

So your Dad was a dick to a celebrity being pleasant. Ok

Well that was just rude. He only smiled.

Hammered drunk and off his tits, had about 15 hangers on in worse condition than him and he strolled straight past the queue and started telling me that he would require a VIP area with table service.

Brendan O'Carroll stopped to ask me and my friend for directions once upon a time. We were about 10 and wary of strange men in cars so I mumbled something random and we ran off. My friend recognised him but ran with me anyway. That kind of counts?

It's easy to tell famous people to fcuk off in fictional stories.

Did he ever work at the BBC?

He MADE the BBC!!

So, to answer your question, I have no idea.

Had a chance to tell Jason Byrne to **** off and didn't take it, regretfully. He is an awful prick.

Muahahaha · 02-02-2014 06:09PM

I didn't burn a celebrity but more made a massive faux pas. I was working in a pub about 10 years back, it was a few doors down from a recording studio and we often had musicians call in during recording breaks. Anyway in walks Jim Corr with a really hot chick who I presumed was his sister Andrea Corr. I served them coffee and sandwiches and when taking the money I said to both of them 'really liked your last album, some great tracks on it'. To which yer one looked at me in a state of shock and said 'I'm not his sister'. With that the penny dropped, at the time Jim Corr was shagging Andrea Roche who looks pretty similar to his younger sister Andrea Corr. I had just mistaken his girlfriend for his sister, and made it as obvious as it could possibly be:)

Once I told Michael Ryan from Nationwide to fuck off, but it was only a dream. Still felt good though. :mad:

Mate of mine (RIP) once tried to set Dave Fanning's jacket on fire. If that counts?

Only if Dave was being rude.

So abusing someone after they smile at you is cool now?

I found myself standing behind George Clooney in our local chipper one night last year.He was holding up the queue as he wouldn't pay fifty cent extra for a sachet of tomato sauce for his batterburger,saying loudly "The tomato catsup is always included with my burger at Di Luca's on Rodeo Drive in Hollywood, and they always give you a shovel of chips for choice inanyways" Seizing my chance, I took out my lighter and ignited his tuxedo, causing him some light charring before Stefano put out the fire by tossing a two-litre bottle of Lemon Fanta over the screaming star of such movies as Up in The Air and Oh Brother Where Art Thou. Fair play to him, when he calmed down he saw the funny side of my little prank, and we had a good laugh about it . That is the only time I burned a celebrity, although I did push Beyonce against a hot radiator at a glamorous Vegas party one night, but luckily she was wearing her fireproof bloomers, and didn't feel a thing.

Anyone ever misread 'burn' as 'bum'?
