I don’t think I’ve ever seen him in person. Of course I’m not sure I’d recognize him either.

LOL are you for real? Scotland has plenty celebs for a country it’s size. You never heard of Sean Connery? Craig Ferguson? I could go on but I don’t want to turn this parochial celeb dick stroking fest.
Reminds me when I stayed in Hawkinsville, GA. I had to go to church every Sunday to appease the family of the bird I was staying with. Some of the locals used to ask batshit crazy questions like ‘Do you get rock and roll in Scotchland’. AC/DC were Scottish FFS. We are fucking rock and roll.

I used to be a doorman at a top swish Glasgow restaraunt and met my fair share of celebrities. Some were nice as pie and others were total cunts.
KD Lang - Totally up herself and reeked of bad attitude. Looks like a fucking dude as well.
Helena Christiansen - Hot as fuck but a fucking rude cow. Didn’t even leave me a tip. Even Z listers leave tips but this uber babe turned whorebag was on some superior shit. Beautiful eyes though.

You don’t say, you guys worship celebrities out there.
I work in the events industry (yes, it’s a real industry!), but I’m a all round graphics & IT guy. Occassionally I’ll meet some of the presenters we use on our shows, but most of them are ok & UK entertainers - Jimmy Carr, Alan Carr (gave me the eye), Rob Brydon, Stephen K Amos(mate at work is friends with him), Simon Amstell (Nevermind the Buzzcocks), Bill Bailey (He’s awesome!), Frankie Boyle, Al Murray…mostly comedians and entertainers.
Only one to date was John Sergeant (Who was on that dancing with the stars program here - I think). Total moron went off on my work mate at a show because HE couldn’t present properly.[/quote]
Bill Bailey is fricking hilarious, saw him at Wembley last year on comped tickets (he is the friend of a friend) and ended up sat with his family.

True.
He’s also as straight as a 7-pound note. He hit on one of my friends at a club in Old Street. But he is funny, no doubt about it.

Mate the Angus Brothers were born in Cranhill, Glasgow and Bon Scott was born in Kirriemuir, Scotland. That makes them Scottish in my book. Hell even Cliff Williams was born in England. Who’s the full blooded Aussie in the band? The drummer? Get a grip
I hear you on the Ferguson one though but tbh he’s still, in essence, a celeb.

That’s true Pootie Tang however you can only go by the quality of the interaction and I left with a nasty in my mouth after meeting these no mark z listers. I was raging about Helena as well cos I’ve fancied her for years. Hell I would have even fucked KD under the right circumstances.

You would fuck this guy? http://celebucrap.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/07/17/kd_lang.gif
Craig Ferguson is fairly popular. He has his own show (and its not at like 2am anymore), and I know amongst all my college aged friends hes quite popular. Hes a legit celeb.
My mom met a bunch of famous people at a health club she worked out at in San Antonio. The low down was Michael Jordan was kind of a prick, Moses Malone was cool, Jesse James Leija was cool, Dennis Rodman was a prick, and Shawn Michaels was cool.
The only remotely famous person Ive met was Emeka Okafor, and he was a very nice guy. He could easily palm my head, which was a little ominous.

Mate if it’s pink and warm then i’m headin in
A friend of mine went to the same high school as Tucker Max (I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell). Said he was the biggest douchebag he’s ever been around.
I’ve held conversations with Brett Favre, Chester Bennington (Linkin Park), and Synyster Gates (Avenged Sevenfold) and they were all friendly, down to earth people.

Does that include men’s assholes?
I met Herbie Hancock at a bar in Japan. He was cool, talking to all the gaijin there, and chillin after playing a set at the BlueNote.
P Diddy was surprisingly friendly when I said hi to him while clubbing in Ibiza. I didn’t get an invite back to his superyacht to party with models, however. I was dancing and suddenly this black guy, wearing all white with sunglasses on, is standing next to me. I thought “This guy looks familiar,” and it took a few seconds for my chemically addled brain to register who it was. I was so wasted I blurted out “Wow, you’re Puff Daddy!” (it was a few names back). He smiled at me and did the fist bump. Behind him was the biggest bodyguard you have ever seen, he looked like Bobb Sapp.
Biggest ‘celeb’ a55hole I have ever met was Mark McGaw, someone only Aussies and Kiwis might know, a former league player and ‘star’ (lol) of Australian Gladiators. He was training in a gym in Sydney and thought he was hot shit. I think he was an ass to me because I was the next biggest guy there.
I saw Mark Henry in an airport in Rochester, NY (Think it was rochester, don’t know my NY geography). I see him, I nudge my brother I’m like ‘dude, is that who I think it is?’
We’re both like ‘woah!’
Then we’re like 'he looks bigger on television (dude seemed kinda short. Maybe it’s 'cuz we’re both kinda tall and he’s WIDE).
He’s picking up his gear in baggage claim, and there’s like, six or seven people in a line behind him, shyly holding something to write with and something to write on. Henry turns 'round, sighs, and grudgingly delivers autographs to an audience whose volume never really seems to diminish no matter how fast he tries to appease them.
It just looked sad. My brother and grab our bags and book it. Didn’t even get a picture. Dude didn’t look like he had it in him.

Mine’s brown. Phew I’m safe
I met Joe Dimaggio in the SF airport about fifteen years ago. The guy was a fucking prick. I was about 14 at the time and my dad and I spotted him so I went up to him and said “you’re Joe Dimaggio aren’t you?” He looked at me like I was from Mars and said “Yeah, so what? Beat it kid.” Fuck him and the Yankees.
If I was a celecbrity I’d be the biggest fucking asshole ever. If some jerkoff like Jack Urboady and his skin tight jeans even made eye contact with me, I’d go apeshit on him. Celebrities get hassled so much that after a while it gets really fucking old. I can see where a newly famous person would be cool about it, but after I’d spent several years with people constantly taking pictures and following me around and shit, I’d turn into a total monster. Running over the paparazzi, attacking them, smashing their cameras, telling little kids and old women to go fuck themselves, yeah I’d do all that and more just so as many people as possible out there knew I was an unapproachable jerk and then maybe I’d get left alone.
I interviewed Richard Patreick (lead singer from Filter) a year ago and he was really cool. He told me a bunch of stories about his past drug use (off the record of course). I met Shaq at Disneyland a couple years back and talked to him for a while. He was pretty cool too.
I met a handful of country music celebs when I was in Nashville working at a studio. Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Faith Hill, and George Jones (kinda).
Keith was a nice kick-back guy, Kenny was more interested in chasing ass but was nice enough, Faith was beautiful. I was too intimidated to really talk to George because, well, he’s George Jones. He was easygoing though, wearing a hawaiian shirt, khaki shorts, sandals, and his trademark glasses and combover.
The only assholes were the ‘stars’ who thought they were on their way up but never really made it. I find that, whether in business, entertainment, or sports, those who are truly successful are pretty friendly – they have nothing to prove. It’s the ones who aren’t quite there yet that are more likely to be jerks.
I’ve met Heather Langenkamp (Nancy in the original Nightmare on Elm Street) Super nice, still very hot, she gave me two free autographs for my classroom because I was teaching High School at the time. Gunnar Hansen, the original Leatherface was very cool, and my personal favorite, Bruce Campbell. A totally awesome guy, very down to earth. Lou Ferrigno was really cool as well. The only dickish “celebrity” I’ve met was Tom Savini. He was a total prick.
