A friend of mine had a guy cum on her leg on a crowded public bus in Rome. We were all squished on the bus, trying to pretend we weren’t pressed up against strangers, and I hear her yell “Hey! Asshole!” and smack him on his stupid bald head. Everyone was thinking she was insane, but the bus just like got quiet and we…

I’ve never heard a good story about Tori Spelling. She was SUPER rude to a friend of mine to the degree that Aaron Spelling found out (my friend was working at the house) and profusely apologized and gave him a huge tip for his work.

I’m at the NBC studio store in New York. It’s maybe 1999? My favorite cousin was a HUGE Friends fan. I barely know Friends myself (I didn’t even own a TV at the time, because of being poor). So I went there to buy her some merch. I chose this giant Friends Central Perk latte mug. Seemed like a fun gift!

I’m leaving the…

I’ve told this story before, but in another context. Ten or so years ago, I was at the town market in Woodside, CA. Woodside sits mid-San Francisco peninsula and is home to some of the richest people in California. I grew up near there and often run into people I knew from grammar school, high school and college. Ahea…

I work in film and tv, so I have surreal encounters with celebrities almost every day, but nothing tops my first brush with celebrity greatness. Fair warning: I am an old, so those of you born after 1985, or who have never watched Turner Classic Movies or 60s sitcoms may have to do some Google searching. It’s 1984 and…

This is old hat now, but when it happened in the early aughts, it was novel enough to win me a “weirdest celebrity chef encounter” contest on the then-recently-launched Eater.

This was, I don’t know, mid-90s, maybe. Mrs Ghost and I lived in West LA while I was going to law school, and we often went clubbing with her single best friend. This friend is really pretty and at the time had really long, lustrous blonde hair.

Several years ago (it was either April or June in 2015), I was at this cool little spot that has karaoke night once a week. I am there with a bunch of friends of mine, rocking out as I do (I am a HUGE attention whore and also I love doing karaoke because I have a pretty decent voice and I’m really good at getting the…

I worked at the Strand bookstore in New York in 2011-2012. One day, I showed up to work hungover and in a bad mood, and was waiting to talk to my manager about something when a guy tapped me on the shoulder to ask for help finding some books. In my surly state, I didn’t even look up at him, just rolled my eyes…

When I was a young waiter in NYC in the early 90s...

I somehow scored an invite to the Black Panther premiere after party in New York and grabbed my cheeseburger and a table right by the entrance. I don’t get starstruck but I’ve loved Chadwick Boseman since 42 and as he passed by, my friend saw my mouth agape and quickly said to him “my friend loves you, will you take a…

When I was about 15, so maybe 1996(?), I was in Florence, Italy at the height of summer. I was a chubby, out of shape teen, and had just climbed a truly epic set of stairs to the top of some famous building. I was sweating as only a chubby American with a 12-minute mile time in gym can do, and gasping for air. The…

This story reminds you that conservatives are just awful people all around.

I posted on this site once before about my encounter with David Cassidy (NYC bar, I was hammered, walked right into him and instead of saying “excuse me, I sang “I Think I Love You”, he was.... not impressed). The other one I have is this....

Note: I’m using “celebrity” in the most lenient sense. In high school, we took a day trip to the rock n’ roll hall of fame. While we made our way through we were stopped by Joseph Jackson aimlessly wandering and introducing himself. He had some bodyguard escorting him who would ask if you wanted to meet “Michael…

I had scored incredible seats to Spamalot at the Hollywood Bowl, basically the front tables that are reserved for the elite and wealthy (friend’s friend was wealthy). At this show, Craig Robinson was playing King Arthur and he was hilarious.

During intermission, I go out into the parking lot directly behind the bowl to…

I once played chess with Dave Mustaine, the lead singer/guitarist from Megadeth.

So my friends and I all live on or around Dauphin Island. It’s a great place to live, but not during Spring Break because tourists descend upon the entire island like it’s the last stop before migrating across the ocean. We decided to hop the ferry an hour away to Gulf Shores, which is an even bigger Spring Break…
