I have hung out with Chris Judd--Jennifer Lopez's ex husband. This was after the divorce. He is sooooooooooo sweet.He was very passive and I could tell that J.Lo could EASILY dominate him. I gave him a little cheering up and advice. He was still hurting post divorce. He was way too much of a sweet heart....Very very nice guy.
I have also hung out with Tyson Beckford and Boris Khjoe and they were both very nice. Tyson was a little snobbier than Boris. Boris was very very silly. Tyson knew he looked good, made it very apparent.
When we were at Disney, one of my cousins from NYC was good friends with LL Cool J and we hung out with him at the park briefly--I didn't know who he was at the time, this is when "I need Love" was out and he was super conceited. Hopefully he has changed. I didn't like him after the encoutner we had with him. He was new in the game,but looked like he was hoping to be asked for an autograph.
Bumped into AJ from the Backstreet boys and his then girlfriend at Downtown Disney. He seemed kind of frazzled and guarded. He made it apparent that he didn't want to be recognized and wanted to relax. He seemed like he was in his own world.
I have hung out multiple times with Big Boi only because my brother was into that scene at one time---We had a celebrity event to host and I was real close with him that fans were asking If I was his girlfriend--NO WAY-- He is very very opinionated and doesn't think before he speaks---sums up most rappers....
I haven't hung out with him but I was in very very close proximity with R.Kelly pre-trial. And I kept telling my friend somethin didn't seem right about him, he wasn't flirting with little girls or anything, but he seemed very very depressed and lost. His body language was off and I knew something wasn't right...then 3 months later all hell broke out about him sleeping with 12 year old little girls....so sad

Reason: typos
I met Ken Shamrock once. That sucked. He didn't say a word to us before and after he signed our autograph.
Maybe someone else has had a different experience with him, but that was mine.
I have worked as a journalist and have met hundreds of celebrities in entertainment (music and film) and sports (pro, college).
I have been a UFC cornerman and have met many MMA stars; I have also worked as a trainer and sparring partner for other grapplers/fighters. I have actually defeated one Olympian and two ex NFLers in sumo.
I met/know many of the Gracies - they are all class. Rickson is a scary dude though. I have met Ken Shamrock, also cool guy.
I have not really met any celebrities who have shown themselves to be bad people. Some are really sweet, intelligent and nice, some are pretty normal/neutral, and some don't have much personality. I have found some of those around the celebs to be bad people though.
Oh yeah......I have been in some near fights/fights with some celebs (two rappers, two NBA players and one NFL player), but none of us in those confrontations have been hurt.
I am hired by many celebs. My most favorite is Celine Dion. Met her mother and Rene too. Despite popular belief, Mike Tyson is a really nice guy. He is not what the media makes him out to be. Yea he did some stupid things. What celeb with bucket loads of money did not. I knew Mike Tyson from way back when he was married to Robin Givins. He lived next door to Malcom Forbes and Witney Houston which was back in NJ some 27 years ago. I used to meet up with Mike at the Oriental Garden Mens Club in Vegas. Now known simply as the OG. He used to pull up in his Hummer with the silly stuffed animal on the front. He will sit and buy anyone a drink and talk and talk.......in between slipping heavy tips to the girls with the biggest boobs.
I also worked for 3 Tampa Bay Buccaneers players I can't name. They were all nice enough. I worked for and jambed with a member of Aerosmith I can not name. The star pitcher for the Oakland A's from the early 70s with the famous mustache I liked, we talked baseball quite a lot. I designed the game room for a current big time hitter for the NY Yankees. While building the Robert Allen recording studios I met BB King, Buddy Hackett as well as Mark Slaughter from the 80s rock band Slaughter. They were all fun conversations. I also was hired by a big shot Politician who is now in jail where they all belong. I hate politicians but they sure do pay good with cash.....all dirty cash but it still spends the same way.
Tiger Woods hired me. I did not meet him but I met that awful horrible woman which at the time was his Nanny. I never felt like hitting a woman in my life till I met her. What I want to say about her I can not here or it would be deleted. Man do I hate her. I hope when they married she changed but I doubt it. Any man would drewl looking at her till she opened that disgusting mouth. Damn her.
Those whom I want to meet:
Reba McEntire
Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland
I used to work at major concert venue, got the chance to at least see lots of celebs at least interact with the "little people" if not meet them. The ones I remember most were Joe Walsh (cool), Steven Tyler (cool), Patti LaBelle (pretty nice), Karl Wallinger (pretty cool), all of The Charlatans UK (pretty cool), Dolly Parton (really nice), Natalie Merchant (pretty indifferent to the world around her -- I think she had just woken up), Billy Ray Cyrus (nice guy but a complete tool), and Donald Fagan (aloof). Oh, and Jeff Tweedy lives three blocks away, but oddly enough I've never seen him. Neighbors say he's nice though -- brings his kid to the park and all.
By far the biggest dick of them all was Barry Manilow -- or as we called him, Barley Man-Enough. That man's ego barely fit inside the entire venue.
BTW what do people find attractive about Serena, she's cute but 'kinda' chunky...she'll weigh 250 when her tennis career is done.
She's not chunky, she's built. And she's attractive in an Amazon kind of way. But rumor has it the Williams sisters are not very well-liked on the tennis circuit because they basically act like inner-city street-ballers in a sport steeped in a tradition of decorum and propriety. I think Serena's recent outburst at the line judge pretty much confirms the rumor, as pertains to her anyway. Andre Agassi was pretty roundly hated too at first, until he eventually calmed down.

at least we can almost totally agree on this topic as i have had many positive experiences with celebrities
Having worked in radio for many years I have met a number of famous/infamous people..
*Ron Jeremy the porno guy.....nice guy but wasn't exactly the smartest person on earth..plus he could had used a bath.
*Delilah ( the radio chick )....not friendly
*Mike Harvey ( host of radio's "Supergold" )...total jackass
*Richard Simmons...nice guy until one asked the question "..are you gay?". He did NOT like that question.
*Mary Tyler Moore...very very very nice
*Willard Scott & Al Roker ...dittos, very nice guys
*Lucie Arnaz...being a big Lucy fan..she was a BIG disapointment, not friendly at all.
*Wayne Newton....too full of himself
*Dean Jones ( remember Disney's "Shaggy DA"? )...friendly and deeply religious
*Hal Linden...had a beer with him, super nice guy though he does have a certain bad habit which I can't discuss here LOL
*Hal Holbrook...this gets very touchy. Hal himself was a nice guy towards me but his daughter Ginna Carter....UGH !! She was making fun of people with down syndrome and not only did Hal allow it, he actually laughed with her too. Very Sad !!!
*Anson Williams ( Potsie from Happy Days ) friendly guy but oddly he gets touchy when one brings up...Happy Days. Maybe there is some bad blood there..someplace.
*Jim & Tammy Faye Bakker....super nice people but boy were they SHORT. I am only 5/7 and both Bakkers had to look up to see me. Tammy was a pure sweetheart !!! I actually cried when Tammy Faye died a few years back and usually I don't do that with famous people.

I've talked to Delilah on the phone, she seemed nice.

That's weird. Does he really not expect people to think he's gay?

Interesting thing about Tammy. When she was on that reality show with all of those goofy people (Ron Jeremy, etc.), they all seemed to really come to love Tammy. I saw that many of them cried when they heard she died. So she must really have been a great person.

Hopefully he has changed. I didn't like him after the encoutner we had with him. He was new in the game,but looked like he was hoping to be asked for an autograph.
