I guess her reputation is well-deserved.


She is probably not the angel the press made her out to be. I think her brother killed her dad not long ago.

My now husband worked with a lot of bands in the 90s, some of whom I met. The Toadies remain the among the always nicest all these years later.

Tom Cruise-Really awesome guy. Went around a shook everyone's hand and thanked them by name. Awesome tipper. He was in town filming minority report.

Bill Murray- Nicest guy ever. Let us take a 100 pictures with him.

Bill Clinton-ultimate politician. Charismatic and personable. Great tipper.

John Boehner-Smokes like a chimney, aweful teeth, fake

Michael Jordan-Asshole

David Letterman-Really nice guy. Awesome tipper.

Blink 182- Clowns but really awesome tippers

Tiger Woods-douchebag. unapproachable. Asshole







One of my best friends since college is a famous (in her field) movie critic/writer, she attends all the festivals around the world and has interviewed absolutely everyone you can imagine. Of all the hundreds, if not thousands of celebrities she's met, she said the nicest are Bill Murray and David Hasselhoff(weird, I know, but she said he was so funny, and kind and took the time to talk with her for a bit while, they met at Cannes and two years later she saw him there again, he remembered her name and came over to talk). But Bill Murray was exactly like everyone has reported, funny, cool, nice, generous, etc.

The pictures she texts me are hilarious. I mean she really has met every single person you can imagine.

There is just something really funny about being really demanding at The Gap. Like you're shopping at Hermes or something. Not that you should be a demanding asshat there, either. But still....

I went completely deaf but was able to mutter something like: 'thanks so much for all your support'. His head looked huge as compared to his body--he smelled like suede and honey. He was so casual and charming--It was unnerving. My arm felt disconnected from my body for hours.


I'm going to re-read this at least 10x. Yum.

Tom Brady playing blackjack in Vegas -- so so hot, but I'm from NE.

Don King, also in Vegas.

Ted Kennedy at a dog park. He had on a jacket with his name on it and was driving a mini van --my mom was with me and was beside herself - again, I'm from NE.


Dana Carvey at Tom's Diner in LA



Have you shared this before? So funny! I'm trying to imagine Le Grand Fromage wearing such a jacket and driving a minivan. I knew him for 30 years.

Geena Davis. Unfriendly. So tall. In that bad stage when she had bleached blonde hair, so she wasn't looking good.

Tom Arnold (ex-Roseanne husband). very funny and warm.

Jackie Stallone (Sylvester's mom). LOTS of plastic surgery.

Maria Shriver and her mom. Very polite and normal. Eunice was extremely wrinkled; I couldn't get over Maria's angular face.

Kevin Spacey. Shorter than expected, very very polite, completely uninterested in the ladies!

Ed Begley Jr. So nice and funny.

Spalding Gray (RIP). Amazing. My BFF and I crashed his backstage at the Kennedy Center and took him out drinking in G'town years ago. He was so cool.




WOW! Would you mind saying where you ran into Cindy Crawford? Was she in DC for a while?
Planet Hollywood. I was working an event for her book launch.

Jimmy Connors, in Chestnut Hill Mass. he was playing a tennis game and after the match my dad and I saw him in the parking lot. He had a VW Beetle that wasn't working and my Dad was able to get it started. he signed a hubcap for us.... this was in the early/mid 1970's before his career took off.
