Звезды шоу-бизнеса: от вежливых поклонников до грубых звезд

Me and my spouse waited in line for close to two hours and the line was barely moving because he talked to every single person for at least five minutes, some longer. My husband was getting very impatient. Think toddler temper tantrum-ish. Some venue employees went up to the older woman behind us who had a cane and was having trouble standing and started talking to her and pointing to Sedaris. He waved the employees back to him and talked to them motioning in our general direction. Then the employees came up to me and my husband and said that Mr Sedaris would like us to go to the front of the line. I was gobsmacked. When we got up there he said that my husband had obv been dragged there and that tall people have hard time standing and that’s why he called us to the front of the line. My husband was embarrassed and furious that he got called out on his tantrum. I thought it was hilarious. This was years ago and my husband still holds a grudge and refuses to read any of his books now. After reading through this list, you might be happy to say that you’ve never encountered a celebrity in real life. But if you are still hoping to spot one out in the wild, Discover Los Angeles has some advice for where you can do so. First, they recommend attending a ceremony where stars are guaranteed to be in attendance, such as a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony or a TCL Chinese Theatre handprint ceremony. You can also often find celebrities at major sporting events, such as sitting courtside at a Lakers game or behind home plate at a Dodgers game. Or if you're not into sports, you’ll be able to see them from a distance if you attend a Jimmy Kimmel Live taping at El Capitan Hollywood. And if you can get anywhere near the red carpet during the Oscars at the Dolby Theatre, you’ll be certain to spot some big names. #4 Steven King used to come in a lot too. He was more quiet and reserved, but very friendly and kind. #5 George Strait. Also very nice. Both of these weren't at big events or anything. Robin was at a ride, and George was at one of his ranches. #6 Now, if you do happen to encounter a celebrity, there is some etiquette that you’ll want to be aware of. The most important thing is that you’re respectful of them and their boundaries. Don’t go up and ask for a selfie or an autograph when they’re clearly trying to enjoy a nice dinner with their family. Or if the star is working or on a red carpet, they definitely won’t have time to acknowledge your presence. It’s easy for people to forget all of their manners when they see someone they admire, but we have to remember that they’re people too. And we’re not entitled to their time or attention just because we’re huge fans. Even spotting a celebrity from afar can be a great story to tell. Plus, if you never interact with them directly, they can’t shatter the view that you have of them. #7 #8 #9 Are you enjoying these stories about celebrity encounters, pandas?

You know that part at the end where the contestants chat with the host when the credits are rolling? He was just complaining about being on his feet. To be fair, our taping day group (they tape 5 shows in a day) was not that exciting, lol. #13 Sharon Osborne would bring us cookies when we did interviews with her and Ozzy. Mark McGrath was incredibly nice and would take time to chat with everyone. Weird Al not only was super nice, he remembered me across 3 different radio station over multiple years and still recalled personal details of our conversations. Celine Dion was possibly the nicest of them all, with maybe Betty White being her only competitor for the top spot. Avril Lavigne was a complete jerk. Totally insufferable with weird demands, especially for a radio station. Seal was so self absorbed and really rude. Barry Bonds actually yelled at an intern because the coffee wasn't hot enough for him. Billy Corgan is the worst, though. The kind of guy who loves the smell of his own farts. #14 Paul Rudd, Uma Thurman, and Steve Buscemi while I worked at this diner in upstate NY where they have houses. All great people, especially Rudd. He owns a candy store in the same town and would work the counter sometimes. Nora Jones played an impromptu piano concert at this small bar I used to frequent, also in upstate NY, because she's friends with the owner. I got to talk with her for a while afterwards and she's incredibly nice. #15 #16 So, I was sitting on-set in the director’s chair they made for me (I even got to take it home!), and this older dude named Jim started talking to me. Really, really nice guy. We chatted for like ten minutes, then he had to go. *Immediately* after he walked away, my mother ran up and asked “Do you know who you were just talking to?!” “Uh, yeah. That was Jim.” Well, it turned out to be James Brolin. I had no idea who he was, but apparently my mother had a huge crush on him. The next afternoon, my family and I were suddenly and without warning whisked back to my trailer and told that we had to stay there. We had no clue what was going on until one of the other actors sneaked in (he had candy!) and told us that Barbara Streisand was on the way. This apparently happened all the time. She’d be mad at Jim for something trivial, drive down to the set, and flip the hell out. And if she saw anybody walking around or made eye contact, things got exponentially worse. Even all the way back in my trailer, I could hear her screaming about landscaping. I laughed my a*s off. Poor Jim. #17 #18 #19 This large black car pulls into the parking lot at an unsafe speed, and parks across both handicap spots and with its front tire on the wheelchair ramp into the store. Hulk gets out and starts walking toward the doors. At the same time, a young boy, maybe 9 or 10, walks out of the store. He sees Hogan coming toward him and shouts “Hulk!” As Hogan walks toward him up the ramp, the kid holds his hand up for a high-five. Hogan not only doesn’t give the kid a high-five, he literally shoves the kid out of the way without breaking stride. That’s when I learned Hulk Hogan is a huge piece of trash. #20 but for someone i've sat down and chilled with....Jamie Lee Curtis, very sweet.. swears like a sailor and will talk your ears off. I also got to stop and talk to keanu reeaves about one of my motorcycles and showed him pictures of my others and my impala and stuff. he seemed super excited about it.
