That’s pretty much the whole story!

I met Robert in Vancouver last year. I told him how the Nightmare movies got me through High School (long story short I was harassed a lot and ended up getting physically ill from it and missing weeks on end, During those weeks I’d marathon the Nightmare movies, they were oddly comforting). He saw that I was going to…

Stan Lee is one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever met.

It is without question a golden rule that you can judge a person absolutely on how they treat service staff.

It might depend on the timing of the request. Rogers was apparently a pretty humble guy, and a (good) minister, so I'm not sure the notion of signing stuff would have been immediately comfortable for him.

I was in Toronto a couple years ago and saw an Oasis cover band (who were REALLY good) and I can’t remember the name but they really missed out on an opportunity to call themselves “Fauxasis”

I brought one of his books to a Richard Yates reading, and when he signed it her wrote “Sorry, this is a terrible book.”

In college I worked security at Mr. Rogers’ apartment building. Fred did not do autographs, but other than that he and his wife were absolutely the nicest and most down-to-earth people that lived in the building. Everyone else there was old money and drove a Rolls...Fred drove a Honda. When I worked the overnight…

Stuff like that makes me put Ian McKellan in my collection of imaginary grandfathers.

YOU SHALL NOT PASS.

Oh my god imagine Ian McKellen doing Gandalf at you!!!

Feel free to tell me where this was so I can plan all my future vacations there/move there.

No Harrison Ford is a prick. I stole bread from his breadbasket on my way out of a restaurant on purpose. He fucking deserved it.

Nice! We go every year, and to the one in March too. My fave story is the Patrick Stewart one...when he was signing our pic my husband asked him if he was going to use his mind powers to make all my clothes fall off, and i’d try to cover up but he’d have already seen everything (watch his episode of Extras, and you’ll…

I am in awe that you had a BEER WITH JOE STRUMMER. You have LIVED.

this really isn’t a story about a celebrity being a dick but just giving the best self-effacing put down ever. I was shooting something for mtv with Joe strummer just before he died and we wrapped and were all drinking at Niagara at the end of the night. Jim Jarmusch came by to hang out with Joe Strummer out of the…

I’ve got one! He’s kind of a nerd celeb. Edward James Olmos. I was at Fan Expo last year, taking pics of the event for my nerd blog. He was coming up the escalator and saw me taking pics. He snarled “well, did you get one?” at me on his way by. I smiled and said “Yep!” brightly. On another note, I’ve met Elijah Wood,…

When I was in college I worked at a fancy golf course. A lot of celebrities came to play a round, and most were perfectly nice. The exception? Maury Povich. I was his caddy. He chain smoked on every hole, blowing smoke into my face while I handed him golf clubs. He was playing poorly. The longer he played, the worse…

Harrison Ford once refused to give me candy on Halloween. Probably entirely justifiable that he wouldn’t be down to open his door and talk to a zillion random people trick-or-treating, but at as a 9 year old I took it pretty hard.

One time I was flying from JFK to SFO, with a layover in Phoenix and saw Flavor Flav waiting at our gate. We went over and talked to him, he showed us the bag of clocks he keeps in Target bags with the rest of his Target bag luggage, and took a photo with us. He sat behind us on the plane (in coach) and yelled…
