I never found Brad Pitt attractive anyway. What did break my heart was geeking out over one of the most talented and beautiful actresses of all time, only to discover that she is a stuck-up condescending bitch. <sob>

^^Who was that? (gasp) Not Jolie??!!
No, she's a Chinese actress you probably wouldn't know - Gong Li. She's in almost all of Zhang Yimou's films. My friend worked with her on Memoirs of a Geisha and he had some horror stories... I was so bummed. I don't know why, because almost every beautiful actress I've ever worked with has been a raging bitch too, but it never occurred to me that Gong Li would be anything but lovely in person.
Do you know who is super duper nice? Stephen Tyler from Aerosmith.. he is very very nice.. very sweet man... all his road crew is as well.. when they came through town here, they came into the club I was working at, and I had no idea that the guys at the rail were the roadies, the DJ just happened to play some aerosmith, and the band was in VIP... I got asked if I wanted to meet the band, so I did.. and they were ALL very very genuine, very very sweet and so real I was very surprised.
So, Kudos to them!
OMG, I love Steven Tyler!! Good to hear he's nice.
I've heard lots of people say he's a really great person. It's so refreshing and pleasant to hear about celebrities who aren't total assholes. The majority of them are horrible people... good to hear that Steven Tyler has kept his head above all that money.
the new INXS was in the last club in Indy I worked at... I was told they were stellar..didnt get dances but tipped the wait staff well..bought drinks and hooked girls up with backstage passes and such. No sex expected and from what I hear no one came off it of it either.
Met some douche bags that were hurt. they sucked..looked dirty and didnt tip anyone.
POD was in at one point ... in the VIP i think spent a lot..seemed nice etc.
Steven Tyler I met years ago. super sweet..very nice so i'll second what someone else said.
Billy Idol years and years ago.. again nice..hot and HOLY FUCK Its billy idol. I was 19 and dude ..i kick myself everyday in the ass for not breaking some laws that night. not that he asked but shit if he had..i would be coined the dirty dancer..without shame none the less.
DL hugley ( sp. ) nice and a HUGE tipper. I didnt dance for him but was in the VIP room while he was there..I was 24 i think
Gavin Rosedale ..HOT ..nice and a good tipper.
Carott top..later became a good friend.Good tipper and super nice ..nice guns too.
I totally closed this and forgot to add that I met Nick Lache during the NCAA at my club.
VERY VERY NICE ;)
make that OAR not POD...
Kanye West is an ass. He is very very pissed at the world and got very upset that they would not play "Golddigger" for him. He was looking for girls for his "afterparty". Ick.
Morris Day looks just like he did in the 80's and is totally cool and sweet. Such a gentlemen.
Trent Reznor came into the club I work in, a few years before I started DJing anywhere, much less there.
I didn't go there often, being a self-employed artist with a rebel streak, and therefore not always flush with cash--and very aware that VIPs were faked passion--unless, apparently, you are Dennis Rodman.
But it was so funny to see this unattractive, scrawny guy walk in and immediately have dancers superglued to him so tightly I'm surprised he could breathe.
Not to say the guy might not deserve it, he is unquestionably one of the most talented musicians of the century (which century? OK, never mind), but as an artist I find it amusing to see musicians swamped with feminine pulchitrude, regardless of how they carry themselves, or how they smell, lol.
Godsmack was in another club I worked in, which led to the strange situation of one manager hounding me to play Godsmack, and another telling me not to since they didn't like being fawned over.
Interesting stories, X Evan X. I have always felt Fred Durst was a colossal asshole, especially after one of the dancers I work with told me she asked for his autograph and he said "How about some head?"
Carmen Electra, nice going, though she doesn't do much for me, sorry--but anything to show up Fred D is a pleasure to read...
Morris Day is cool? You know, that doesn't surprise me, someone who can make it big by playing a parody of celebrity musicians and their attitudes ("What time is it?") would be inclined to view celebrity status with a more enlightened eye. He's got some killer songs, too--I play "Jungle Love" for certain dancers who like it a lot.
Musicians, jocks, actors--they are just people, they have dicks--big fucking deal. It's very hard for me to understand the groupie mentality, since I won't fuck anyone who doesn't show me total and complete respect. Spending a lot of money is cool, but when it's chump change for them I'm not overwhelmed.
If I could change anything about women, that might be on the list of things I'd consider--not that men don't need improvement, too--LOL...
And a lot of guys go gaga over any number of female celebrities plastered all over the newstands and TV, too.
But I'd way rather play with any number of women who are very real, just as attractive--in fact very often much more so--and not altered by having zillions of people fawning all over them without having the slightest clue what they are really all about as people.
*gasp* Trent Reznor, "unattractive" and "scrawny"?! Bite your tongue!! :O
Trent Reznor is pure lust distilled in human form. He's the only celebrity I would be inclined to go groupie over. I would do the most disgustingly sinful things to him, things that would make my mother have a heart attack and die. I'm sitting here getting wet just THINKING about him!!

Edit--this was in response to Yekhefah's paean to Trent's manly virtues, not about chili sauce, lol...
OK, I suppose some things will never change, lol--scratch that list!
Hey, what the hell, why not--and like I said, guys have their own groupie thing going on as well, or there wouldn't be feature dancers, would there?
Also, it's actually cool to see ol' Trent getting his share of groupies--he was so obviously not stuck on himself, being a jerk, or taking the attention for granted (these are the most irritating aspects of the groupie syndrome--the guys who dump all over the women begging for it).
But I remember thinking to myself 'Why, oh why couldn't I have picked music, instead of art?' LOL
Well, I've had my share of fun, and I'm not done yet, either--so who cares?
Maybe Trent has cleaned up and worked out a bit, for all I know he looks great now. I wasn't impressed back then, but people change. I wouldn't know--I never pay much attention to the appearance of musicians, I just listen to them.
How about "Fishnet"? That was pretty funny, too...Quote:

Love those guns (and yes, he has been working out and is off the junk nowadays). But it's his voice and that sweaty, raw, aggressive lust that does it for me. I don't usually like long-haired guys or musicians, but Trent Reznor is just something special.
Oddly, I never dance to NIN at the club though. It's such a strip-club cliche and it seems so unnecessary. NIN is sexy enough on its own without the addition of naked women... it's sort of like playing Barry White or Marvin Gaye or Al Green at the club. I just don't do it!
Yeah, he looks like a totally different man...
You should try dancing to "Only You", it's fucking hot, and has more rhythm than his other stuff--plenty of raw power in it, though! Give it a try, and think of Trent, lol--I bet you get lots of VIPs.
I've thought about it. Also "Get Down, Make Love" and "Physical" and some of his lesser-known hits. I did dance to "Heresy" once, but it was the girl on the other stage who picked it (she was dressed as a nun - ha ha). Maybe I'll try dancing to some NIN the next time I go in... it seems so cliched but I guess it's that way for a reason.
LOL...I think that is possibly the cutest/funniest term I've ever heard to describe anyone they adore!! Hehe.. totally made me giggle!! I LOVE it! ;DQuote:

No, my friend was a crew member on the movie.
X EVAN X......Can we please hear more about what it was like to make out with Carmen Electra ?? Lucky !!!!!!
I don't know why, exactly, but she does nothing for me whatsoever--not to knock X Evan X for having her french kiss him in any way, I doubt she does that often when she's on a date with a major rock star, lol...
She doesn't do it for me, either. Not my type.
Although my boyfriend made out with Drew Barrymore once. Apparently they were at the same party and she was shitfaced (surprise surprise!) and making out with everyone. He was standing there just watching the crowd when she came up and pushed him against the wall and they made out for awhile before she stumbled off without a word. He said it was very sloppy and he knew he was tasting about 700 other guys but it was still cool. Ha ha! I like that story. :D
I just have to chime in here and agree on ALL counts. Including the disgustingly sinful things part. *Swoon!* As for the scrawny part, I once saw (and should have purchased) a T-shirt that read "Chicks dig scrawny pale guys". I am SO part of that club. I'm glad that Trent is healthier now, and I don't mind a little muscle tone, but big bodybuilders, especially if they're ridiculously tan - yuck! I have to really do some serious acting when I'm dancing for some musclebound meathead.Quote:

(I'd buy that album!) Seems like it could go either way - annoyed that his art was being misappropriated or pissed that he wasn't getting represented . . .
