Being in the Biz I have checked out the site a few times , and I have waited on my share of public personalities . With but a few exceptions these folk are polite , well mannered and a pleasure to take care of . It's the people in their entourage that can suck . So basicly if you decide to screw with me , I put you in the penalty box , and lord help you if you are a grown man and order Hot Tea ...

I've also served a few famous folk in my audio sales daze, and in the casino and foodservice business as well.

I sold Bill Murray and Gary Fencik an assortment of gifts two days apart from each other over one particular Christmas holiday period, which made for a nice "change of pace". Both were very personable, although Bill made a quick exit because too many began to recognize him and cause a "scene".

I also saw numerous such celebs (especially music types) in my casino career. Was in house (competitors casino, not where I worked) the day Tiger Woods gambled illegally (he was under 21). Was a nice guy, though.....which was NOT the norm amongst those in that profession...

Sunburn is correct in that the "entourages" cause more trouble than the celebs themselves.....although I have run into a particular celeb who was particularly nasty: It was required that you turn your back in his presence when working backstage (Barry Manilow).

But in all of my daze of servicing the well heeled and well known, the absolute worst were the professional golfers. As a group, these people were rude, stuck on themselves, and generally speaking did NOTHING to be ambassadors for their sport. Steve Elkington and John Daly were two that were especially good to deal with - and just all around good guys, but most were such that I started taking vacation from my job during tournament week. They were THAT rough.

LoL, it would have been a pleasure to turn my back on him.[:D]
