Celebrity jerks?

Bruce Campbell is probably my #1 celeb I want to meet. I've been a fan since I was a little kid. Hell, I got his portrait tattooed on the back of my leg.
 
About a decade ago I was at the SDCC and Olivia was signing, you know the one that draws the hot girls and for playboy ( I read it for the ariticles). We are all standing in line for hours, lots of fans and lots of people buying her stuff to sign. She gets up a few times to go to the bathroom, ok I get it. With about 70-80 people in line her "Security guy" says she's done folks and left everyone just standing there after they paid for her stuff to sign. One lady threw something she bought at her and yelled "Your second rate for running out on you fans!"
 
Hey guys and gals,

this thread´s title is "CELEBRITY jerks", right? So I´d suggest leaving the jerkdom to the celebs and continue this discussion in a civil and respectful manner.

Thank you for your attention.

Very true we all have our days.

If you do meet Bruce and he is a putz to you tell him Chewbacca's looking for him! :D



Ooooooh haha yeah. It would suck balls if he was a ****** but I mean, everybody has their days right?
 
Bruce Campbell is the one actor I've met who isn't "acting". I've met him a few times and exactly what you see on screen...that dry sarcastic attitude wit he shows....that's him in real life. Every bit of it. He is EXACTLY the same in real life as you see on screen. So...he's not really "acting" when you watch him in movies.
 
okay my Shatner story--1975 and we go to the CNE (google it) and I wanted to see Bill and borrowed my Moms autograph book--and let me tell you know she was a huge Yankee fan and her book has Mickeys, Rogers and Whities autographs--a lot of kids run away from home but my mom ran to New York and was found at Yankee Stadium--anyway we drive to Toronto and go to the show and I see Bill at the Loblaws booth--the dude is alone and so bored looking; so I run up to get an autograph shoving the book at him--he looks at the book and pages through and says--Wow Mickey Mantel! how did you get that? huuuuuh thats my Mom--Is she here?--Ya So I call her over and Bill talked to her about her Yankee autographs--He was more interested in Mantle and Maris's autos I was pushed aside--after we left the booth my Mom said "what a nice man--what show was he in?"

She still won't give me that book because Mantle and Maris signed it--she knows whats worth more

Cool story, but this thread's about "Celebrity Jerks". It's right there in the thread title. ;) And Shatner, while showing more interest in your Mother and her collection of Yankee autographs, was certainly not a "jerk".

But hey, you're excused, it's your first post.

Ahh man and I wanted to see someone get their arms ripped out of their sockets, maybe next time :cool
 
This may come to no surprise but hand down biggest jerk , I would call him something worse, Gary Busey! A group of us were hanging out by the pool at a convention and here walks up Gary in his pajamas and smoking a cigar and just pulls up a chair in the middle of our group, never says a word to anyone except to one of the wives in the group and talks to her the whole time. Well other then telling the fans that had come up to say how much they liked his movie and that they were big fans to either "**** Off " or to " Go **** Themselves" lol...Just an odd dude to say the least. Anyway, he sat with us for about an hour and when he was getting ready to go we asked if we could get a group pic with him...he says "Sure thing...When you all bring me your twenty bucks tomorrow"! Get's up and walks off...what a winner lol.

The next night I'm right behind him as he is sitting at a lawn chair and a guy tried to say hi and he turned around and told him " Leave me the **** alone", well the guys goes off calling him a drug addict, that he can't act, his movies suck and the worst...to wear a helmet next time or don't so maybe we will have a better outcome next time. Took one of the "Nasty Boys" wrestlers to break it up...not that Gary ever turned around again to say a word to the guy lol...must be nice to live on your own planet ;)

Best must be...Heather Langenkamp...what a sweet lady, so nice to talk too and Corey Haim, rest in piece bud, he went out of his way to say hi to us and asked if he could hold my son who at the time was 1 1/2 or so...he was the sweetest dude, funny, and just a great guy... shame he had such demons :(.
 
In fairness, people have been posting positive as well as negative stories in here. The thread has become more the "Celebrity Encounters" thread, rather than exclusively stories about them being jerks.

Ya me bad--but if you could have seen how ignored and broken down he was you would understand why he will do anything to stay rich--
Bad Celeb story--Dianna Ross--I worked at the local arena and she was giving a concert--I had just moved from being a usher to security. We were told not to speak to her or even look into her eyes. Then I seen her berating one of her wardrobe people--it was ugly--and remember we were not to look at her--try that. Weirdest part is she goes out and does a great show like nothing happened.

Yeah, 1975 was during the dark times for Shatner, when the only people calling his agent were convention organizers. But before long, he reinvented himself, and now he's on top of the world.

As for Ms. Ross, reminds of that scene in Tin Cup where Don Johnson is all smiles for the fans when in public, but when confronted by one out of view of the cameras and crowds, he shows his true nasty colors. (Fortunately, Rene Russo witnessed it and ditched him to frak Cup.)

Just to add to MS. ROSS, while stationed in the Air Force at Nellis in Vegas I was working part time at the Broadway. On our top floor was furniture. She came in and demanded the entire floor be shut down for her, she ordered the store manager to get her a certain type of water when she was shopping. She took three hours and in the end said "Nothing here" bought nothing, and did not even say thanks to the boss or any of us that were trying to help her out as she walked out.
 
I spoke to a guy who I can't name -- not just yet, anyway -- who was a bit of a jerk, but we soon discovered we both are royal asshats, so we're now getting on quite well.

He's a big name, too.
