look take my advice just try to understand when5b4 coming up to movie stars there not always going to be happy to see some one. They work long hours and the things they do in the day or flights they take make them in a bad mood. Some of them are nice people like i have met David Hasselhoff and i have meet the actors of The Power Rangers there really cool people but you have to understand in the movie business they make you change part of your self and the way you act from the stress. Like look at Nicolas Cage remember hearing he attacked his wife and that taxi driver saw what happened. And look what happened to The guy that played John Connor from Terminator 2 so not all stars are good some just lose them selves there people too.

Wow, that's sad and I'm sorry. Maybe she really was having a bad day. I know when I'm upset I just shut down and don't even want to speak or make eye contact sometimes. Maybe that was the case for her.

You have to remember, these people meet thousands of folks like us every year.
And you know as much as I do that people will occasionally have an 'off' moment.
I've actually asked writers/directors in some detail about their work (sometimes giving nice compliments), and they were very happy to reply in kind.
And the reason why is because they're not in the spotlight, so they have more breathing space.
I think you just got unlucky.
Though she may have found it awkward receiving a gift from someone she didn't even know, even though it was with the best intentions. -

I always find it amusing when a fan meets a particular celebrity, and "surprisingly" finds it to be a negative experience. It's a well-known facda0t that most celebrities (actors, musicians, athletes, etc.) are a$$holes. They're basically spoiled-rotten adults, who are accustomed to getting everything they want, and having their arses kissed is a daily occurrence. I worked for a major movie studio in the late 1990's, so I had my run-in's with dozens of these pr!cks. Most of them view fans as pests, like ants at a picnic. Don't waste your time with these people, you'll almost always be disappointed.
Worst celebrity experiences: Jennifer Lopez, Sharon Stone, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ben Stiller, Chevy Chase, Eddie Murphy, Pierce Brosnan, Justin Timberlake (uggghhhh), and Robert De Niro.
Best celebrity experiences: Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and wife Rita Wilson, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Meryl Streep, Sylvester Stallone, Jackie Chan, Dustin Hoffman, Robert Zemeckis, John Williams, Holly Hunter, and Kevin Bacon. -

Wow, I would love to hear some stories. I'm surprised by a lot of the "worst celebrity experiences". I don't mean to be snarky but I am not as cynical as most and think they are just people like us at the end of the day. I don't think most are bad but I find these stories intriguing.

Why were they so bad? -

"Why were they so bad?"
Honestly, looking back, I think that De Niro is just socially-awkward.
Ben Stiller is a notorious jerk - look him up in a search engine.
Jennifer Lopez - Now, this didn't happen to me, but to a friend of mine who was working as PA at DreamWorks at the time. Lopez was sunbathing by the pool at the Chateau Marmont, and decided that she wanted her hat from her room at the hotel. Instead of going upstairs to get it herself, she called my friend Adreanna, who was all the way across town in the Valley, and ordered her to drive into Hollywood to the Chateau's pool, get her room key card, go upstairs to the room, fetch her hat off of the bed, and bring it back down to her. After doing this, J Lo demanded and iced tea from the bar. Upon giving Queen Diva her beverage, she took one sip, set it down, and claimed that she was through, and was going back to her room.
One thing that I witnessed Ben Stiller do, was while at the craft services table, he decided that he wanted some M&Ms, so rather than ask the services lady if she had any in her truck, he picked up a plate of homemade Chocolate Chip cookies with M&Ms baked in, and began to crumble and break apart every single cookie with his nasty, grubby hands in order to take every M&M for himself, thus ruining the entire tray of cookies for anyone else. This may not seem like a big deal to some, but it's just down-right selfish. Especially when you're one of the lead actors in the film. He could've just asked his assistant to get him a bag of the candy if he really wanted some that bad. What a child. -

That's right. He's known for not being particularly cordial or approchable towards people and particularly the press.
J-Lo is widely rumored for being demanding, but honestly I don't find her as unlikable as the majority does. I do find her to be genuine, warm and sincere, though I'm not doubting that she can be demanding.
But why were the others so bad? -

Thanks CoOp_RoCks. SimpleMindedSociety and Sweiland75 for listening.Perhaps I am too sensitive. The irony is that a few minutes before at her press conference she was quoted as saying ""The art of living well, to me, is to wake up everyday and to choose to be happy. Luxury is something that begins inside and that is to choose for ourselves health, wellness, kindness, grace, and generosity."
The part that got me was "Kindness, grace and genorsity" and yet a few minutes later she could not show those very qualities she expoused to me. But then she is an actress and obviously knows how to read a line. -

Ha that is kind of ironic, sadly on your part, that she would say something like that the very next day after her rude behavior. Well I wish your meet and5b4 greet would have went the way you had wanted it too. Hopefully any future celeb meetings will result in a wonderful experience that makes up for what Stone did.

One doesn't have to be actress to say that; everyday people do the same thing because of their insincerity and self-centeredness. As much as I hate to believe it,many people(and things) are not what they seem.
I know how it feels to be too sensitivethe balancing act is to embrace that quality while avoiding being vulnerable.
The best one we can do is to surround ourselves with others who share the same qualities,and make us feel loved. -

wow..what are u like 13 years old???
i stopped getting starry eyed gaga over celebs about the same time i began to consider myself an adult.
if you need validation for your existence by a celeb, or your moods can be afffected at all by a celebrity, then you need to seek some therapy. some self esteem classes might not hurt either.
being you must really suck
