re: Non-pretentious, "down to earth" Hollywood celebrities

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.

I have a good friend who drove tour buses for a few years. He hauled Tommy Lee for a while. Said he was a great guy. Easy to talk to. Didn't have that celebrity attitude. He has a Mick Mars autographed guitar. Said Vince Neil was a pure dick head. He drove Blake Shelton for some time. Said he was pretty cool as well. Took care of everyone on his tour. Took them all on a paid pheasant hunt for 3 days. Zac Brown is cool as well. Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry is a dick. Josey Scott was too much into the hard stuff for my buddy to handle. He requested to be taken off of that job of hauling him around. Said Josey's wife stabbed Josey on the bus one night. Caught them both shooting up with their baby on the bus. On of his last jobs was hauling the Myth Busters guys around. He said they liked to party as well.

I worked at a very popular club in San Francisco while I was going to film school. Lots of famous people came through. Some notes:

Probably the coolest, laid back person I met was Gene Simmons. Kid Rock was really cool, although he tried to fight the DJ one night
Depeche Mode came through and they were cool and hooked up a bunch of free tickets to their show.
Christian Laettner was really cool and down to earth. Lots of sports guys came through here. My favorite was Jason Giambi as he always tipped me $100.
I also met Kobe Tai and Janine. I walked Janine to her hotel thinking I might have a chance and opened her hotel door to meet Jesse James who was her boyfriend at the time But they were both very cool.

Then there were the assholes like Charles Woodson and Vince Carter. Lars Ulrich is a total a-hole, I had to kick him out.

People are right about Sean Penn. He's a midget with a giant head and is a douchebag.

When I moved to L.A. to work in TV/Film, I got to hang out with a few people. Some really cool ones and some really not so cool ones.

The craziest I met was Brigette Neilson and Flavor Fav when they were together. They were running around the backstage of Big in '04 (VH1) doing all kinds of nasty shite. I also met Anna Nicole Smith that night and that's the show where she was all doped up. She was skinny at that time and was hot She was also very nice.
Green Day drummer was a total dickhead.

Plenty more, but I will finish by saying Luke Perry is one cool guy as we split a 6 pack on the last day of filming a movie and I smoked a joint with someone mentioned on here a few times and he really is down to earth

Mark Wahlberg

James Carville, don't care for his politics but the guy is hilarious and really nice in person and done a lot for Louisiana.
