Edit: A friend of mine worked close to Dolly's team. only thing I know from that friend is that Miley had reached out last year about Dolly coming out at Roo and it was not a no but she hadn't agreed to it yet. Then COVID.
Haha oh wow the guy who blew a fuse when I gently chided him for being a boomer is a weird racist oh no way I can’t believe it
You can't call him a racist unless you've done the assigned reading
No point in arguing with someone who's clearly ignorant on a book that's about preventing violence and abuse in your life, and how that extends to judgment calls.
But frankly, it's cool that y'all are standing up to what you perceive is racist (even though we disagree). In the same way, I won't put up with any discriminatory ageist BS (and I bet I'm still much younger than half the people posting here).
In 22 years as an entertainment journalist, Jared Leto was the absolute hugest asshole I ever interviewed or encountered. Keanu is as nice as they say. Liz Phair was the coolest and most fun to interview. Nelly was also really chill. And DMX fell asleep mid-in-person interview because he was so baked.
have a family friend who opened for 30 seconds to Mars and the story was that the rest of the band were super cool dudes but Leto basically lived in his own separate world and they never really interacted

That's kinda weird since Leto's brother is also in the band.

Weird, Jared Leto was super nice to me the few times I met him after 30STM shows. But those shows were some 18-19 years ago now and I know people can change a lot in that time. The band was also still pretty small so maybs he didn’t have a huge ego yet.
They make trash music now anyway, so what do I care?

Love hearing about the cool shit people on this board have done
I ran into Conan O’Brien twice over the years. Once he came to see my wife and myself before his old NYC show to tell us happy anniversary and gave us a little gift, the second time was randomly in Atlanta. He’s just as goofy and also just as kind as you’d expect.

A friend’s dad spent his career as a music journalist and said by far his weirdest interview was Nick Cave. He had his undivided attention, but he actively avoided making eye contact for the entire time and gave a lot of rambling non-sequiturs as responses.
This was sometime in the ‘80s I believe, so probably drugs.

Met Jared Leto at TIFF like 7-8yrs ago when he was premiering a docu about his band there. He seemed nice enough in my brief meeting but he had a weird like circle of women constantly around him separating himself from the other guys in the band. They all were def over 21 but it just struck me as weird how disconnected he was from rest of the guys there in the band.
Eight years of working event security and the worst encounter by far was with T.I. And Tiny using their phones at a Kevin Hart show. The rule at any comedy show is no phones. Huge signs were plastered everywhere. These mf are taking videos, doing makeup, and causing others to do the same. I asked them to stop once and T.I follows me into the isle to give me a piece of his mind. “That’s some fucked up shit “ and “I oughta fuck you up” (try saying that in his accent lol) with his arm reached up to my shoulder. I’m 6’3 and he’s like 5’3 on a phone book. THIS IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A KEVIN HART SHOW BTW. A couple of his goons came over and luckily my coworkers came and pulled me out of the situation and calmed them down.
Best encounter was working outside of Axl Roses Dressing Room a few years back. He was so unbelievably nice to me all night the brief interactions we had and even shook my hand. Most stars his caliber just walk right past us.

Your Axle story makes me feel really good about seeing GNR next week. Thanks!

I met Lana Del Rey after a show in 2014 in Detroit, she seemed very down to earth and humble. She made sure she got to talk to everyone that waited for her, took pictures and signed stuff if people asked. The biggest thing I remember is just how sweet she was, and she told me I had pretty eyes. My only other celebrity interactions have been running into Dave Chapelle around the Dayton area various times, but I never want to bother him. He seems real cool too though.
I once saw Jared Leto while waiting in line at a Panera Bread in Lake Tahoe. He was standing in front of me. I wanted to order a croissant but before I could he grabbed me by my shoulders, said, “I just sensed something very special about your aura. Quickly, follow me. You will not be harmed.”
There was something reassuring about his tone so I did. He and his entourage escorted me to a bright yellow Volvo sedan, where we drove for about half an hour through the California countryside before arriving at an expansive estate. We walked out to the garden, where there was a fountain emitting a beautiful, shimmering water - not quite clear, but almost a pulsating blue. Standing next to the fountain was a spirit deer.
“This is a spirit deer,” Jared said to me. “He is the guardian of this fountain and has powers beyond our mortal comprehension. Please, do not deny any kindness he offers to you.” Jared, the spirit deer, and I made small talk about the NBA for a few minutes before the deer turned to me, his eyes boring into my skull. I stood awed in complete silence.
Eventually, the deer spoke. “There is a purity about your spirit,” he said. “Thanks,” I responded. “Please, drink from the waters of this fountain. It will renew your body and allow you to live a life near eternal. Your purpose on this earth is too great to be constrained to such mortal conceptions as time.” Jared and the spirit deer stared at me for what felt like five minutes and forty-five seconds before I said “Uhhhh…no thanks.” “Are you sure?” The spirit deer rejoined. I could see Jared taking deep breaths to try and calm himself. “Yeah, I’m pretty sure.” The spirit deer sighed heavily. “Okay, if you insist. But just know that I am always here if you change your mind.” Jared butted in. “Look, man, I’m sorry, I thought for sure he would vibe with this.” “Jared, please stop talking and just leave.”
We hopped back in the of the Toyota and drove back. “Dude, I am so fucked. Do you realize what you did?” Jared kept muttering the whole drive back. I just rolled my eyes and ignored him. We arrived back at the Panera Bread, I stepped out of the car and he came over and slapped me. “Make better decisions next time, asshole” he said to me and then huffed back inside. I just left, I didn’t even bother to get my croissant. I’ve never listened to the music of 30 Seconds to Mars the same way after that.
I met Jake Gyllenhaal at a local boutique in Memphis the same weekend of Beale Street Music Festival 2011. He was very nice and chatted with my friend and I for about 10 minutes about the festival, who we were excited to see, what shows he had seen, etc. He was there with another man (with a British accent) whose face I was unfamiliar with. Jake laughed when I mentioned I was excited to see Mumford and Sons play later that day... which I later realized it was because Marcus Mumford was in the shop with him.

Sounds like you messed up dude. Next time drink the waters.
I knew 30 Seconds To Mars before I knew Jared Leto was in the band. Just saying because I doubt anyone else is the same. I use to think they were awesome. I grew out of it.

I met Axl at a night club in Zurich many years ago and he was really cool to us. We talked about his high school cross country career and all sorts of random stuff.

I met Jared Leto at a restaurant once - we’d accidentally been given his table. Apparently he was fond of the restaurant and had a specific table he liked, and the management had messed up and gotten their days wrong, (it was Tuesday and they thought he was coming on Thursday or something like that). Anyway, the manager, completely embarrassed (this is a pretty nice restaurant) comes by and says “I’m so sorry, but we’d like to move you to another table if you could be troubled, and we’ll gladly compensate you for the cost of the meal and any other meal you’d like while you’re in town.” My sister and cousin were both like “Yeah that’s cool.” and I kind of played the asshole a bit. “I’m sorry, I just don’t understand. We’ve been here for 15 minutes - we’ve just ordered. Can’t we finish our meal here?” Then out of nowhere Jared Leto shows up next to the manager and says “Paul, these guys can finish. We’ll be at the bar. I got some time.” And I (being a big 30STM fan) said “Oh wow, uh… I had no idea. Please feel free to give them the table.” Jared was grateful, shook my hand and said thanks, then gave me a card with his number on it and told me to give him a call later. After working up the nerve, I gave him a call that night, and to make a long story short, we had a glorious 11 month love affair, man on man, that I shall never forget. Our bodies intertwined as one, and from the beauty of Morocco, to the French Riviera, to the snorkeling in the Galopagos, Jared Leto and I made glorious love to each other on six of the seven continents.
When I was in grade school I met O.J. Simpson at the Atlanta airport. He was super nice to me, he had read the book I was reading and we chatted about it. He signed the book "o.j. Simpson - peace to you"
6 months later I was at a friend's house watching oj in his bronco on TV.
