Very funny thread from B3TA site about being rude to celebrities. Warning contains bad language

Told Stuart Hall he was sexist. Does that count?

Jimmy Tarbuck once said "Hallo" to me and I said

"Excuse me, do I know who you are?"

He was crestfallen. I was only about 15 at the time, I'm quite proud of myself.

I was down at the Box Office talking about Sting and how I thought he was an annoying Geordie tw@ who hadn't done a decent tune since "Dream Of The Blue Turtles" and he should be ashamed of himself for being a Jaguar pimp... only to stop as the guy I was talking to got that rabbit-in-headlights look. Oops, Sting was behind me. oops He didn't say much but gave me a dirty dirty look.

I still think he's an annoying tw@.

Oooh that was rude :wink:

A mate of mine told (Diddy) David Hamilton (I think that is his last name) (A "DJ" of radio two fame) that he was a W@***R and Diddy replied "no I'm not" proving to us (at least) that he was :) :)

This one doesn't really count as rude but funny nevertheless A friend I once worked with was telling me how he used to work in a video repair place and one of his customers once was Alan Titchmarsh. Apparently, when he was filling in the form he asked "Name?" to which he was astounded and told him in that 'do you know who I am' manner. as if it should be obvious to all.

I used to work in the chippy down the road from Pebble Mill studios so had all sorts of B-list celebs popping in. Thing is, the policy of the shop was to treat all the customers as '''the business" but many of the celebs were so wrapped up in themselves they were convinced they were getting the star treatment because of who they were. The more minor the celeb the bigger the attitudes, too -virtually unknown little twerps used to try and jump the queue because "I've got to be back in make-up in 5 minutes!" Well if you're such a bloody star, why didn't you send someone to get your fish and chips for you? roll

The rudest I have ever been to any celebrity is to stare at them because they are famous lol

Does it count that I told Dominic Monaghan his writing was atrocious and his work was a mess when he was nine?

I've just thought of another. A friends sister was at a party and met David Frost....when he introduced himself "Hello I'm David Frost" just didn't realise who he was and just did exactly the same back "Pleased to meet you I'm ....." I thought that was pretty good.
