Craig Morgan is a normal nice guy. Talked hunting and fishing with him. Clay walker is a complete a-hole. Jason aldeen is kinda a dick and his guitarist is a real arse. I worked stage crew growing up through college and got to meet a lot of musicans. Avett bros are odd but down to earth. Martina mcbride is nice too. Eric church is an awesome guy. Travis tritt is a dick and wanted the spots to fade out if he turned around because he didn't want his arse to be lit up. Kellie Pickler was a bitch. Smoky Robinson was pretty cool. That's all I can remember right now.

Met Will Smith at a pumpkin patch last fall in NOLA. He was very nice and stopped to take pics with everyone there.



Yeah, but Will Smith does this because he's a complete narcissist who thinks that people are constantly lucky to be in his presence and that he shits gold. I'm not saying he's the biggest a-hole celebrity, but he's the most narcissistic and least down to Earth.

Madonna is very down to earth
Snoop Dog super easy going
Luke Bryan is a big frat rat, likes to have fun
Sting is down to earth

My old man drives tour coaches for a company out of Nashville. Those are just a few of the folks he's been on the road with. Can also tell you who the dicks are. You learn this stuff when you're around someone for 3 months on the road.

My sister is involved with the Billboard Music Awards. At some celebrity meet and greet, my BIL ended up talking w/ Justin Timberlake over a couple of drinks. During the course of the conversation, my BIL mentions that he's planning a family vacation out west - Grand Canyon, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Glacier, etc.
JT proceeds to act like a rep
from the western MT Chamber of Commerce. The good spots, the bad spots, the don't wanna miss spots...
By the end of the conversation, Timberlake offers to let my BIL and his 3 sons stay at his house in Western Montana for a week or so that August. My BIL suggested that, while it's an extremely generous offer, wouldn't their schedules conflict? JT assured him that he was "never there" and it would be cool.
(They didn't end up staying at his house, but I thought this was a CSB.)

Glancing around the internet the worst that keep coming up are Cusack, Elton John, Barbara Streisand and Sean Penn. Just treat everyone like dirt, no eye contact, only speak when spoken to

I imagine that Gwyneth Paltrow would be awful to deal with.

I got to meet McConaughey back in '09. Dude was about as nice and humble a guy as you can imagine.

Been pretty cool to see his career take off the past few years.

Adam Sandler is awesome!
Jim Furyk is awesome!
Brad Pitt is reserved and humble!
Stanley Eisen, one of my 5 closest friends, is engaging with everyone, an inspiration too...not to mention being a quiet and humble mega-star!

I take that back about Will Smith. Gwyneth has to be the least down to Earth celebrity there is.

If Stanley really is one of your closest friends, that's pretty cool. He seems like a cool guy.

It is weird how two people can draw completely different opinions of a celebrity. Back in 92, when Tritt was really in his prime as a songwriter and "star" in country music, I hung with him for a day and a half and even slept on his couch.

I was a bartender at a restaurant in Marietta, Ga and my closing manager one night told me to hang around after all the servers and kitchen staff had left because Travis was coming by around midnight. They were good friends from Sprayberry HS days. Well, Travis and his Warner Bros. manager (Rick) showed up and we fired up a fryer, cooked about 100 wings and drank beer for an hour or so. Left there and drove down to the cheesy Tounge and Groove dance club in Buckhead and partied until about 4am. Dave(manager) and I were way to blasted to drive home so Travis just told Rick to drive us back to his house in Hiram,Ga and said one of them would drive us back in the morning. Only thing I really recall was that he had a big guitar shaped pool and stumbling to a couch. The Rick dude drove us back to Marietta mid-morning.

Funny thing is that Travis came back to the restaurant at around 4pm that day to eat at the bar and he was wearing the same outfit he had on the night before. A satiny blue shirt with puffed out cuffs, black jeans and a enormously tacky belt buckle.

I guess it's just the circumstance you "meet" someone like that. He was rather cocky so I could see him being a dick in the scenario you mentioned.


P.S.- for the guy who said Alec Baldwin, I had a brief encounter with him and Kim Basinger around 95 in Athens. Got off work(restaurant) late and walked to the Beechwood Shopping center ATM and see a dark sedan pull up behind me as I am getting money. Walking away from the ATM, I see Baldwin step out of the drivers side and I said "Alec Baldwin?". He smiled and extended his hand and said "surprised?" Told him that yes.....I was. Didn't expect to turn around and see a famous actor. He said "well come over here and meet another" and we walked the 10 or so steps back to his car and he introduced me to Basinger. She said they were in town visiting her family. Really nice people....at least that night.

Baldwin has issues with paparazzi types and the divorce was nasty, but regular folks seem to find him friendly. I met Steven Baldwin...he is so short...but he was very nice!

Yes he is...great guy, struggling with his voice right now, so Singer is hitting the high notes for him. I was with him in So Cal earlier this month...he drives the ladies nuts, but is really goofy, humble, happily married, spends time with his kids, etc! He's overcome sooo much in his life!

She is such a pretentious bitch and sees nothing wrong with it. She was raised in a very wealthy Hollywood family...I guess you could say she doesn't know any better which is scary. She's admitted to denying her kids certain food groups too and that it'll make them 'stronger'--dairy, carbs, meat, certain fruit and has restricted their calories; neither kid is overweight. And how emasculating is the term "conscious uncoupling"?!? Chris Martin had no manhood marrying her.

And how she has said that being an actress is harder than a working single mom...she needs to be slapped hard. Joffrey style.
