Rudest celeb you've met?

Lumbo

Ronan Keating came into the shop I worked in and was a bit of an asshole. He needed some of the items he'd bought delivered and one of the lads went out the next day with the stuff. Ronan gave him a tour of the house, a few autographs for his kids and was meant to be sound as a pound. I think with celebs, like the rest of us, it really depends what time of the day you meet them.

Thanks all.

I was 13 and met Brian McFadden outside his house I had waited 4 hours in October freeeeeezing! They had 1 number 1 at the time, he arrived grunted at us & slagged off my camera and my coat and for a kid that idolised him from that moment on I didn't like him!!!

Yeah, met Bryan nee Brian before and he was a twat of the highest order. Nicest one was Fran Healy singer of Travis, just so nice!

Twink actually used to live near me and she told some friends to shut the **** up out the window. Awfully horrid in every aspect.

Not a fan of Twink or anything, but that would need to be put in context. Were they shouting and roaring right outside her house late at night on their way home from the pub or something?

Really surprised to hear about Packie Bonner. I always assumed he was a gent.

I've met Miriam O Callaghan a couple of times and she was absolutely lovely. Likewise Ronan Collins.

That Lisa Cannon from Xpose. Dog ignorant! She thinks she is some hotshot international journalist when most of the time she is interviewing Jedward or Rosanna Davidson. Muppet!

+1 on that!

I have been in her presence 1 or 2 times and to say that she has a poker shuffed so far up her arse, I'm surprised she is walking straight.

She is pure false and rude.

Karen koster on the otHer hand is lovely

This is so true it's not even funny. I used to work at music festivals. Bigger international bands generally take it seriously, know what they're at, treat everybody politely and show up where they need to be on time. Without fail, the only problems we ever had were with crappy little Irish outfits who would open a stage on Saturday morning, never to be heard of again. :rolleyes:

It was an eye opener.

As to Geri Halliwell... I ran into her when she did a signing somewhere I used to work. She had rooms cleared before she entered, wouldn't acknowledge the people around her except to bitch them out, and was just generally awful to everybody she came into contact with including children. Jaysus she was an awful wagon. On a scale of 0-Twink, she'd score respectably.

Was at an after match with the Irish football team once. Robbie Keane scuttled over to the corner hiding behind his mates and wouldn't come out to sign autographs for the kids. Shay Given on the other hand was an absolute gent who had time for everybody.

I honestly can't even remember any of their names, which should tell you how far they got, so I've got nothing juicy to offer you. The usual pisstakers though - they'd be late and never ready to go onstage when they were meant to, which is a really big deal for the opening band at music festival stage, because it puts the whole schedule off and you can spend the rest of the day trying to make up every second they've cost you.

They'd show up late and demand the world, bandmembers would wander off right before show time, they'd steal booze out of other dressing rooms and then make bits of their own, and then hang around making a nuisance of themselves by hassling other performers and staff all day. Just a pain in the arse to deal with generally - I wouldn't mind having a bit of a laugh and making the best of their minute in the sun, but it's a bit rich to have some shower of chancers from Tullamore or somewhere treating you like their personal gopher to act the big fella in front of their friends when actual real life rockstars are able to have manners.

I was lucky enough to be on the periphery of a TV crew doing oxygen a few years back. They did two interviews, one with an Irish band, one with a well known US band. Guy from the US band was an absolute diamond. So nice and polite and genuinely made the effort to be as professional as possible, treating question he must have heard a million times before (the band he's in now isn't his first big band ) with like they were genuinely interesting and insightful.

The singer of the Irish band was a prick. Sarcastic, one word answers delivered with rolled eyes and a total disdain for the guys just trying to do their jobs. Never been able to listen to them since. "Once" was enough.

Always heard this guy was a bit of a prîck alright. I was listening to a recording from quite a few years back at Witness and before he starts singing the bloody song, he's there drunkenly waffling on for so long that the crowd starts booing him. The very people there to see him are telling him to shut up and get on with it.

Actually I used to live a few doors from Mick Pyro from Republic Of Loose. Always had a grumpy head on him.

I went fishing a couple of times with Big Jackie Charlton and he could be very grumpy..still we all have our off days.
Also fished with Tiger Woods at the K club and he was sound out, really very unassuming and polite to everyone that approached him(and in fairness he was trying to unwind). Would have never thought then he was such a boyo with the ladies.
I don't think celebs should always have to be on, that day with Woods I was glad I was not the famous Golfer.

Twink without a doubt. She makes (****) cakes these days and is a member of a cake guild. Swanny's into every meeting without paying her fees like the rest of the members, and threw a hissy fit recently when they declined to let her have rte film her doing a demo. Told all the members they would be nothing without her and they were "all in the gutter, looking up at the stars". Thinks she bloody invented cake decorating, although her actual idea of decorating one is chucking a ****load of edible glitter over her largely inedible muck.

I was just walking along Nassau street and BANG! I saw Conan O'Brien. He looked up and saw me seeing him and I involuntarily said "Hi". He said "hey, how are you" and stuck his hand out. I was so shocked I momentarily forgot how to shake hands. Really nice guy.

One of my friends just put up a status this morning about bumping into him in Tescos. I'm jelly. I love Conan!

Martin Kemp: absolute gentleman
David Beckham: gentleman again and only too happy to pose for a photo with our son
Victoria Beckham: Hateful yoke. She wouldn't even acknowledge us when David was posing for a photo. Refused to get in the photo and turned her back on my little boy he was 4 at the time and super excited to bump into them in Spain. We were having a meal and they were just finished theirs. She had her sister with her. Her parents have a villa opposite the restaurant. She just pouted, tutted and flicked her pony tail in the air.
The late Mick Lally aka Miley from Glenroe: such a sound man he went to school with my dad and stayed overnight in our house
Craiiiiiiiiig David: nice but coudbt get over how short he looked
Hector: sound man exactly how he is on tv

Dermot O'Neill the "celebrity" gardener. Cnut is the only word for him.

Met Chris Pontius from Jackass, total gent, just a lovely nice guy. Met Arnie on holiday, again really down to earth and very friendly. Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, again a really great guy.

Also met Michael O'Leary when he gave a lecture in my college and as much as I wanted to hate him he was a very nice guy, very generous with his time, made a point to talk to everyone and couldn't have been nicer. The b@stard

Bumped into Kenny Egan a few years ago in Krystle after he was still riding the crest of a wave on the back of his Olympic medal win, he was in the corner pissed out of his brains chatting up 2 beautiful blondes. I casually strolled over with the intention of congratulating him on his medal, and he very clearly told me to " **** off ." At the time I was annoyed by it, I thought he could have at least said hello, but I guess the guy had a big opportunity on the cards if you know what I mean and didnt want to blow it...

Met Neil Delamare one time, I asked him if he was interested in doing a gig for something I was running, he just said 'talk to my agent' and turned his back on me, really rude. Filthy looks from the girl he was with too, I was only offering him a job lol!
