re: a-hole celebrities and here are the rules:

6 y.o. me saw Lee Majors (the 6 Million Dollar Man) at Dallas Love airport. My mom gave me a pen and one of those things you'd use to keep a balance of your checkbook so I could ask for an autograph. He told me something to the effect of "get the frick away from me, kid."

I've had pretty good luck.

Faith Ford and Antonin Scalia (RIP) are just good people.

Was at a city dog park throwing a decoy in the water for our retriever.

Ryan Gosling waked over and very politely asked if he could throw the decoy a few times for the dog to fetch.

After a few minutes a guy with a big Steadicam appeared - it turned out they were planning locations for a movie.

Then some woman screamed, "My God, that's RYAN GOSLING!" and a crowd quickly formed and ran him off.

Glad I'm not famous.

He waited on Diana Ross one night and as she was leaving he noticed she had not left a tip. He followed her right outside the restaurant and asked very respectfully if there was something wrong with the service he provided. She opened her purse. Pulled out a one dollar bill, wadded it up and threw it at him and said, “Here’s your fricking tip.”

Not an a-hole, but a very intense "celebrity."

Day of my wedding we are all getting ready to leave the Watermark to go to the venue.

Some of my buddies were in the hotel bar drinking. They came over to me and said we have somebody that wants to meet you. They bring over Marcus Luttrell who's daughter apparently went to LSU and he was in town for her graduation.

He said they told me that you were getting married so I wanted to give you some advice. He said always listen to your wife she is your queen. I said something off hand like yea that can get tiresome with her (or something like that). He stares straight into my eyes (he's had my hand in his hand the whole time seemingly trying to break it) and says I am not fricking around don't you ever disrespect your wife. You treat her like a queen. That was it he walked off.

He stared into my soul the whole time. Like I said very intense guy. Thought it was somewhat cool to get "marital advice" from Marcus Luttrell on my wedding day.

Most celebs/athletes I met were nice when traveling. Met quite a few older NFL guys, Bob Hope, Paul Finebaum, Boosie a couple of times, Buster Davis, Jacob Hester, etc... The only one that was a complete a-hole was Buster Davis. He had just turned pro and I sat next to him on the plane and he gave anyone on the plane the cold shoulder when they congratulated him.

Also, Phil Fulmer was pissed I tigerbaited him once on a flight to Knoxville. I thought those guys flew private. James Franklin was a smug POS when he was coach at Vandy. I told him I was an LSU fan but liked what he was doing at Vandy. I was wearing a Saints sweat shirt, he responds "you should come to Nashville and check out the real black & gold"

My two best experience's were Ashley Earhart and Sean Penn. I spoke with Both of them nearly the entire flights. Boosie was cool AF too, but he smelled the sticky icky - it rolled off him as soon as he boarded.


ETA: I forgot a drunk Joe Namath tried to hook up with an English co-worker of mine at the Sky Club at the airport. She had no idea of who he was and she said, "that old gentleman tried to pick me up." We looked back and recognized him and told her who he was and she was completely unimpressed.

Dennis Quaid was in BR filming "Everybody's All American" he was a complete jerk all the rest were nice people
