John Mayer

“I was at a very small, hard to get in, Hollywood club. This must have been like 2016 or so. At the time, I really liked Nike dunks. Also I didn’t know what John Mayer looked like. So I see this guy with these polka dot dunks and I just immediately walk up to him, like “cool shoes man, where did you get those?” And he pauses and rolls his eyes and then goes, “wow….well played man…..do you know Takashi? And I was like….uhh ok, no. And walked away. Motherf—er just assumed I tried talking about shoes just so I could talk to him lol”

Jamie Foxx

“I work in the film industry so encounter them quite a bit. Weirdest encounter was walking in on Jamie Foxx in his underwear. We were prepping to shoot some scenes for this movie at his actual house in his master bath/bed. Wasn't expecting him to be home let alone changing. He was cool about it and told us to keep doing our thing. But the most awkward part is he started shooting the s— with my coworker and asked for her number, apparently would text her out of the blue to go to parties. She never accepted lol.”

3

Kristen Stewart

“Had a literal run in with Kristen Stewart at the Troubadour in 2018. Did a double take as I was walking across the bar to grab my drink and cluelessly stepped on her foot when I was reaching over the grab it. The kicker was she apologized to me and I nearly died from the awkwardness. A close friend of mine was the one who gave me the tickets to the show as she was unable to make it. Kstew happened to be said friend’s celebrity hall pass so she made me promise to never wash the foot again.”

Steven Tyler

“In Boston around '05, I was in an Urban Outfitters right after it opened and Steve Tyler was shopping with his daughter (the other one). I (stupidly, hey I was in my early 20s) asked him for his autograph, and he said I interrupted an important thought he was having.”

5

William Shatner

“In the 90s, a bunch of my classmates and I were in Hawaii and 4 of them were in an elevator with William Shatner and his late wife and he was berating her and being kinda rough. :(“

6

Jill Vertes

“I met Jill from Dance Moms. She was yelling on the phone at the grove and I was like 15 and didn’t know how to read the room so I went up to her and asked for a pic

7

Vince Vaughn

“Vince Vaughn got irritated that I was sitting next to him at Home on Hillhurst in the early 2000s. He asked, "Can I f— help you?" When I accidentally caught his eye. I was looking for the waiter.”

8

Kieffer Sutherland

“A very drunk Kieffer Sutherland brought a homeless woman in to Figaro on Vermont while we were there for dinner. He bought her the merguez and then dropped his cane as he sat down. He was an effusive and kind drunk.”

9

Olivia Munn

“Olivia Munn hit on my boyfriend (at the time) in front of me and throughout the conversation with him did not look at me but did gesture to me and refer to me as ‘she.’ Edited to add: I was standing right next to him.”

10

Ian Ziering

“About 15 years ago I was standing behind Ian Ziering in a checkout lane at a Ralph’s. It was the 15 items or less line. This is an important detail because he was purchasing around 30-40 packages of frozen pre-cooked chicken breast. There was a very elderly female employee scanning items who, politely asked him- “What are you going to do with all this chicken?” Ian instantly became visibly annoyed, turned to give me a weird look as if to say “Can you believe this?” He turned back towards the employee and told her that the question was r— and it was none of her business. She got defensive and told him she didn’t mean to be r—, and that she was just curious if he was maybe having a party or something. He argued back with her, insisting that it was absolutely a r— thing to ask and said…slowly, like a serial killer in a movie, “That’s like me asking you...what are you going to do with all of that skin you’re wearing?” (Remember, this was a very elderly woman). He turned back to me again and shrugged his shoulders, I guess because he wanted someone to agree with him, but it was really uncomfortable and bizarre.”

11

Stephen Hawking

“I was almost run over by Prof. Stephen Hawking when he did a guest lecture. Apparently that’s one of his j— moves.”

12

“Tiffany Haddish drunkenly coughed cookie crumbs in my face while asking where the bathroom was during an event I was working at.”

13

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson

“The Rock told me to f—k off”

14

Jason Momoa

“Jason Momoa blocked my car in at the climbing gym. He boxed me in with his giant f—king truck parked like a complete a— in a spot he had no business parking. He moved it, wasn't at all apologetic and went about his day. Aquaman is a real tool in my book”

15

Chevy Chase

“I used to work for a concert venue and Chevy Chase ended up taking a seat that wasn't his. He was a real d—kk to the folks who actually had tickets for that seat, and then was a petulant a— towards the ushers. The original ticket holders ended up with free upgraded seats since Chevy wouldn't move.”

16

Amanda Seyfried

“I used to volunteer frequently at pet adoption events for a dog rescue. One of our events was in a store on Franklin near Beachwood Canyon and we had a lot of celebrities come through looking for dogs. At one point we had a super sweet large breed hunting dog that hadn't had a lot of luck getting adopted because large breeds are just hard to place. So, she'd been in foster care quite a long time. One day, Amanda Seyfried came in with some friends and took an interest in this dog and said she was on her way to hike Runyon with some friends and wanted to know if she could take the dog on the hike with them. I said something to the effect of "No, her foster gives her plenty of exercise. She needs to be here so people can see her and meet her. But if you're actually interested in her, you can take her for a walk around the block." She was like "OK, great!" She left and took this dog on the hike with her and her friends anyway. They were gone for hours and didn't come back until we were wrapping up the event, and this poor dog obviously once again didn't get adopted because it never got a chance to meet anyone. And to top it off, when she returned the dog back to me she was very happy with herself and implied she had actually done us some kind of favor by taking the dog out for some activity instead of kidnapping it from the event it was supposed to be at to find a forever home. I haven't watched an Amanda Seyfried movie since.”

Seth MacFarlane

“Got my car towed because of a tiny-a—sign in the dark on a side street off of Hollywood blvd. Went to the lot to pick it up. Seth MacFarlane is there picking up an impounded car as well. It was 1 am. He wasn't happy.”

18

James Cameron

“I had violent d—a at work. Was is the stall for like 30 minutes. I think I uttered oh god make it stop at one point. Walked out and saw James Cameron washing his hands in the bathroom. I gave him a what’s up head nod thinking I would seem “cool”. I was not. Every time I think about it I wonder how long he was there. Did he hear me talking?”
