Which "celebrities" have you met who look great/awful in person?

Anonymous
Linda Carter-saw her when I was a child, don't recall where, and as others said she was drop dead gorgeous.

Sam Donaldson-saw him at a restaurant over 20 years ago and he must have gotten off work prior because he looked like he had make-up on. Even then his hair was dyed a bold brown.

Erin Lauder (of Estee Lauder family business fame)-went to same college as I did and the times I saw her she was gorgeous and her make-up was very understated.

Larry Mullen Jr. Much better looking in person.

Adam Levine. Ahhhhhh


I saw Henry Rollins recently - he was filming something in front of the White House. He's all gray now and very distinguished looking. Thinner than I expected.


Henry Rollins ? He's not a celebrity ... Lol . He's Henry Garfield and about as famous as the wjla weather man.


Really?! The former lead singer of Black Flag and Rollins Band? He is a celebrity in my book (also a hot guy, IMHO!).


You're confusing fame with notoriety. I know who he is, but Black Flag and the Rollins Band had, at best, a miniscule following and were ensconced in the counter culture. He did host some stuff for MTV though.


I must have been knee-deep in the counter culture because everyone in my HS in CA knew who Black Flag and Henry Rollins were as did my cousins in the Midwest.

Nicolette Sheridan. I was working as a nanny at a fancy hotel in Hawaii, and she complimented me on my perfume. I had no idea it was her until someone told me. She looked like a weather leather shoe.

I have seen several celebrities, but one stands out with regard to the original question. About 10 years ago, I almost literally ran into Ellen DeGeneres on an elevator. I was with a friend, and we had my infant with us. Ellen looked right at us, and smiled. Her smile lit up her face, and her eyes were incredibly, intensely blue. I had no idea that she was so lovely in person.

And no, I am not a lesbian.

Linda Tripp in 1998. She was much better looking in person and had a good sense of humor. She bought a bottle of men's fragrance "Cigar" for her attorney.

Joey Lawrence in the early '90s. Cute, not that tall and lots of hair.

People I know have seen Donald Trump and said that he is much better looking in person.

Yes! Hugh jackman used to sign autographs every night after his Broadway show, I've seen him and he was extremely handsome. Very friendly too

I've also seen Natasha Richardson many many years ago in New York and she was even more radiant in person than it translated on screen. Tall and with the most amazing body!

I posted a few years ago about sleeping with Dave Mathews. It was my first and last one night stand. I am a 43 year old mom now, and don't regret it.

Met Ben Harper at ACL five years ago. He bought me a cup of coffee in the airport, and we talked about the festival. The man is gorgeous. . .smelled of a shower and clean sweat. I love this memory.

Question about sleeping with celebrity: Was he famous at the time? How did you not "chicken out" - did you know you wanted to go through with it? No regrets? How did you get the guts, so to speak? Did you pursue him or he you?

PP here. I ask because I have had the opportunity once or twice, but backed out. Not sure if I regret it or not.....

PP prolly said that b/c he's local. Grew up across the street from me in NW. I consider him famous tho.



Hold up! This is DCUM. We may be crass, rude and snarky. However we do NOT use "prolly" here. Either go away or use "probably."


Oh Grandma, get off the interwebs and go to bed already! Your warm milk is on your bedside table.
