Not all stars and public figures are created equal. While there are plenty of genuinely great people out there in the entertainment industry, not everyone quite measures up. And though everyone is human and we all make mistakes, some celebrities can, unfortunately, be quite toxic and nasty.

Rosario Dawson was rude as hell when I waited on her at a high-end restaurant in Boston years ago. Leslie Bibb, who was dining with her, was sweet as pie. A-Rod came in once after-hours and was such an entitled jerk, just a condescending person who very clearly thought he was better than everyone around him.
Jennifer Coolidge was LOVELY and had great energy. Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer were insufferable and smug and deeply, deeply impressed with themselves. I didn’t recognize Big Papi as Big Papi and the door forgot to say anything to me about it. He thought it was great when I was like hey, I think I know you from somewhere. Did you used to work the door at _______? His wife, however, was PISSED.

The only celebrities I've ever met have been hockey players and all of them are really nice.

Sadly, it's Danny Elfman. I have so much respect for the guy and Oingo Boingo is one of my favorite bands. Vatos and the horn section guys were really nice though.
My date and I were waiting to talk to him when he was really rude to a fan. He was making fun of the poor guy to his face.
And when my date asked him what inspired the song War Again. He leaned back and flailed his arms in the air and loudly said "Oh, don't even ask me!!"
I was so shocked.

I saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at LAX. (I mean, how can you NOT see him!) I got a quick pic while he was in line at a restaurant, but the lady next to me decided to approach him and (I suppose) ask for a selfie. He glared at her and said "get away from me lady". She was a true fan and heartbroken.
I later learned he had just recently been diagnosed with leukemia, so of course that softened my opinion.
