Ric Ocasek. Almost got into a fistfight with him. He was in the drive-thru line at a McDonalds in NYC and I was also in line, but from another direction. He wasn’t paying attention when several cars in front of him moved forward. I waited awhile for him to move forward, but it was getting ridiculous so I pulled into line ahead of him. He got out of the car and started screaming that I cut in front of him. I got out of my car and the argument really got heated. We were face to face screaming at each other and I guess his supermodel wife saw it was going to end badly so she got out of the car and cooled things off between us.

Did you beep to let him know to move forward? Two grown men almost getting into a fistfight over a McDonald's drive through is ridiculous.

Looking back... yes it was. And it was over 30 years ago.

Katie hates Rachel Stevens. How can you hate her? She's blated her so many times

I've heard before that Rachel Stevens was difficult, so I'm not surprised.

Everyone I know that's met rachel (I have too) said she was lovely, maybe not the most exciting person, but nothing that would cause hatred. KP has slagged her over a long period of time

I feel like this should come with a warning that it's a link to Katie Price prattling on about how she's a sex goddess but not a slut.

At the 3 minute mark she was talking about having sex in a canary? It was after that she brought up Rachel. Either way I wish I could go back to ten minutes ago when I hadn't watched that video.

Anyone who doesn't want to associate with Katie Price automatically goes up in my estimation.

I guess Rachel was advised not to associate with her at this point.

Good advice I would think.

I have met a few celebrities over the years (Liam neeson a lot of times as he is friends with my dad) and they have all been really nice Aidan Turner was especially sound.

24 year old partying Katie bragged about taking Gareth Gates virginity when he was 17 and she was pregnant with Harvey. Anyone with half a brain cell would not want to associate with her but she calls it snobbery. She talked on Loose Women about considering getting Harvey a prostitute when he is 18. Urgh. In case it's not obvious, I have no time for the woman and think she is despicable. The best thing she ever did for Harvey was to put him in residential care where he will have structure and not a revolving door of Dads that he gets attached to and then disappear.

I get you. I used to think that way about her, but I think she has mental problems and hasn't properly addressed them. I try to see the best in people lol

It was the other way round for me! Brian May just pushed past us as he was leaving the Ulster Hall in Belfast. Around the same time I spotted Christy heading into the Ulster Hall for a soundcheck and he stopped and signed a couple of records for me.

I mean that in a good way as in does not have the luvvie airs about himself as a lot of bog standard actors do.

I've met her a few times. A few times too many. For someone who's main claim to fame is the ability to hit a ball with a stick, she sure does have some notions of granduer.

It's a long time since I met someone with such a high opinion of themselves and such a low opinion of everyone else around them.

AmberGold · 13-01-2020 11:31pm

In a restaurant at Christmas a few years back with our mentally handicapped aunt.

Marty Whelan was there and she spotted him. My Dad met him as they passed & asked him would he say hello to her, he came over to the table and spent a good 5 minutes talking to her. Made her month.

I have to say I was impressed and it says a lot about him.

Never met her but I'm not in the least surprised. Comes across as very false and shallow.

Colonel_McCoy · 14-01-2020 10:03am

Met Luis Figo, I can only describe him as an utter gentleman. Very approachable.

Colonel_McCoy · 14-01-2020 10:12am

Met Mel Gibson was expecting him to be a or1ck but was very nice. Happy to pose for photos.

Shane Duffy sound.

Met Samuel L Jackson in Capri, was high diving everybody who recognized him.

That's because people have groups etc set up to follow their flights and airports they are at so they can try to get a photo.
I'm sure most of them would be fine if not for psychotic stalkers.

My sister was on a sports course with her a few years ago and said she was comically arrogant and annoying. Was told a few home truths by one of the instructors and threw a hissy fit.

The same sister met the legendary basketballer Magic Johnson on her wedding night in Italy and said he was an amazing guy. She had no clue who he was until someone told her later. He sent champagne to their table and joined them for a drink with his wife.

Worked for Aer Lingus Ronan O'Gara and Peter Stringer arrogant cnuts. Donnacha O'Callaghan sound

LineOfBeauty · 14-01-2020 12:42pm

Karen Brady lives up to her TV reputation. Arrived at a high profile hotel as an unannounced guest speaker at a function, had all manner of complaints about her room (the vast majority of which, when checked the next day turned out to be complete fabrication), rang down at like 7am to complain, accosted the phone attendant for not referring to her as "Baroness" Brady and then on check out when asked if she'd like to discuss the issues of her stay with a manager again went off on a rant about how she should be referred to as baroness "a title given to me by, you know, THE QUEEN(!)." Sometimes celebrities aren't what they seem, I'm glad to say that Brady is exactly what she seems and more.

partyguinness · 14-01-2020 12:51pm

I am always curious why members of the public think it is perfectly acceptable to approach 'celebrities' uninvited and expect the celebrity to drop what they are doing and engage in meaningless drivel for a few minutes. Of course then get all indignant when the said celebrity is not that interested in speaking to you.

Personally I think it makes you look like a right dickhead.

partyguinness · 14-01-2020 12:53pm

I had to Google this Anna Geary lady (left Ireland 10 years ago so a little behind on the latest social crazes).

"Sorry, I'm really not David"
"Get out of that, get yer casio out, mhon the dod!"
"I'm not....." and he just went back to eating his dinner with his fancy lady friend...

Very rude... F you and the racer ya rode in on o'doherty.

Sol (judas) Campbell - gobsh1te, even before he joined 'them'.

Damon Hill - met him after Monaco GP at the airport, at a check in desk by himself, no one around. I was walked aver , and said "Hi Damon, could you sign this programme for me please" ..
"Jesus, you do know that everyone else will come over now"..

And I was happy when lots of people then followed me !!

Dumbass.

The opposite:
Rio Ferdinand walked past me while I waited for the Mrs while she was in a shop in the same airport. I said to her "Rio Ferdinand just walked past" … "OHH where did he go", and off she went. Came back 10 mins later, said he was so nice. his mate took photos , and he gave her a hug and an autograph..

I was given tickets for the Blizzards a few years ago. Wasn't really into them but the tickets were a gift and I wasn't going to waste them. Went along anyway and didn't think that much of their first few opening songs. Hadn't much energy, weren't really engaging the crowd, etc. but figured, hey, maybe they'll pick up.

Then Bressie starts saying that they'll be filming the band and crowd during the next song for an upcoming music video, so everyone get energetic, woo! But their performance wasn't that great and people obviously weren't getting energetic enough, because next thing he was like "Come on ta fcuk and clap, will yis?"

Thought it was really rude. We left after that.

“Cmon ta fcuk ”
That’s brilliant

Exactly what Ive been thinking while reading this thread. 'I walk over and say hello and they are just a bit cold and turn back to the person they were talking to after a couple of minutes, what a dick'

In other words you interrupted a conversation between 2 people to start some inane chat with someone who knows nothing about you, doesnt want to and who probably gets that same inconsiderate crap 20 times a day, every day. The fact that you got the couple of minutes is a testament to their self control .

They owe you nothing. Leave them alone.

IrishJedi75 · 30-05-2020 1:29pm

Met Ray Park ( Aka Darth Maul ) at a convention in 2005.Really nice guy and made time for everyone having a good chat to each fan that got an autograph from him.

Rudest celeb you've met?
