Not every celebrity can say they hold the heartwarming title of "Hollywood's Nice Guy",
or gal, but if a star shares a rude encounter with another famous face, you best believe
it'll be the talk of Tinseltown.
We're dishing the dirt on the rudest celebs in Hollywood, according to reportedly nicer
stars.
At first glance, you'd probably never think Pierce Brosnan could be rude.
Between his sultry voice and dashing looks, the Irish actor won our hearts as James Bond
in the late '90s.
However, funnyman James Corden might beg to differ with this glowing reputation.
"No hard feelings, Mr Bond."
In a headline-making segment of "Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts" on The Late Late Show
in 2017, guest Khloé Kardashian asked Corden about the rudest celeb he's ever met.
He reluctantly revealed,
"Pierce Brosnan."
The late-night star went on to claim,
"I went to see U2...and Pierce Brosnan was with some friends here, and they left halfway
through the gig."
After the space had been vacant for a while, Corden and his wife moved to Brosnan's spot…apparently
right before the actor returned.
"This arm went on here and just pushed me out the way.
And I looked at him like that, and he didn't even glance at me, he just moved back into
his area."
We never thought the actor best known as 007 could allegedly be this harsh in real life,
but after Khloe offered the possibility that Brosnan was drunk at the time, Cordon quipped,
"Maybe he's just a bit f---ing rude."
"Yeah!"
Gene Simmons may look scary with all the makeup he wears for KISS, but nobody would have thought
he'd be rude to the elderly.
It all started when Modern Family's Eric Stonestreet shared a series of texts from his mom, Jamey,
on Instagram in 2014.
At the time, she jokingly texted,
"I think [Gene] Simmons is on my flight.
Do you think I should go give him a kiss."
…to which her famous son quipped, quote, "Yes.
With tongue."
However, it wasn't long until Stonesteet publicly put Simmons and bandmate Paul Stanley on blast.
The actor claimed via Twitter,
"Gene tried to bully my mom out of her seat and when she said no, he said, 'it's ok, I
just bought the plane' and then asked her for HER autograph…I can't wait to run into
you two old a-- makeup wearing f---- and tell you in person; you should have been nicer
to my mom."
"Oh that was good."
Simmons denied the entire situation in a series of since-deleted tweets, which included the
message, quote, "LOOK, I HAVE A MOTHER, TOO."
Meanwhile, Stanley squashed the beef by apologizing to the mother-son duo.
As for Stonestreet?
He thanked Stanley, and added,
"I will tape my glow in the dark KISS posters back together."
Rumors surrounding Ariana Grande's alleged diva behavior have been swirling for years.
The pint-sized crooner even combated the claims in a 2014 appearance on the Australian radio
show, Mike E & Emma, saying,
"That's not real, that's nonsense.
My fans know who I am, my family knows who I am, my friends know who I am, and that's
all that matters."
But there was someone who disagreed with Grande's claim: E! News correspondent Giuliana Rancic.
She revealed,
"I think she does have a little bit of a diva thing going on.
I remember, I think it was at the AMAs, she came up on the platform, and normally I stand
on [her left side] to the camera.
I had to fight 13 years to get this side to the camera, it's my good side, but I fought
13 years for this, OK?
Little Ariana comes over, I feel like 'bing,' elbow in my side, I'm like, 'What's going
on?'
And they push me to the other side."
"Vogue."
While the thought of the two stars fighting for their good side may sound hilarious, we
aren't surprised Grande won this round.
Christina Aguilera has built quite the reputation for not being the friendliest person among
Hollywood's elite.
And one celeb this pop star apparently rubbed the wrong way was actress Valerie Bertinelli.
Andy Cohen asked Bertinelli to dish the dirt on what went on between the two stars during
a 2014 episode of Watch What Happens Live.
While the actress clarified that she and Aguilera didn't have an all-out feud, the singer did
apparently snub Bertinelli at one of her ex-husband Eddie Van Halen's concerts.
She claimed,
"I was a fan at that time, a long time ago.
And I went up to her because she was at a Van Halen concert, and I said, 'Oh my God,
I think you're a beautiful singer' buh buh buh."
But Christina wasn't having it.
"She just went like, 'Yeah, whatever.'
She gave me the cold shoulder, and I thought, 'B----, I'm a fan.
You can't be nice to me?"
After Cohen asked Bertinelli if she'd seen Aguilera since, the actress replied,
"I have not, no.
But you know what?
She might have gotten better, but I heard she hasn't."
You probably shouldn't bother someone while they're in the middle of an intense workout
sesh, but that's exactly what Sister, Sister alum Tia Mowry decided to do to Charlize Theron
during one particular SoulCycle class in 2014.
"Hey.
Yeah, you I'm talkin to you you piece of s---.
I'm gonna kick your ass."
Mowry told InTouch,
"She wasn't very nice to me.
I said, 'Hi,' and she actually rolled her eyes and said, 'Oh my God.'
I wasn't over-the-top.
I know how to approach another celebrity."
Andy Cohen later decided to rehash the goss with Theron herself on an episode of Watch
What Happens Live.
Theron joked,
"What a b----.
No, I heard this story, I don't know, did she really say it?
Was it just written?"
Once Cohen explained that the tale originated in a tabloid, Theron replied,
"Oh, well, you can't go by that, right?
I'm really nice at SoulCycle, actually, because once my endorphins kick in, I'm actually almost
too friendly."
Ready to get to the bottom of this rumored feud, E! News caught up with Mowry, who finally
cleared the air in 2017, saying,
"It was all blown out of proportion.
I respect her.
I think she's amazing."
Aussie radio host Em Rusciano has probably had her fair share of run-ins with rude celebrities.
"You have to appeal to everyone, and as we know, as you said, I'm polarizing."
But she had no trouble narrowing down the rudest star she'd ever met.
Answering a fan question about it, she replied on Instagram, quote, "Easy: lead singer of
Snow Patrol."
Her story about an interview she and her co-host conducted with Gary Lightbody made this piece
of celeb gossip that much more amusing.
Rusciano explained,
"[We] went to interview [the band]…and they had that one big song on Grey's Anatomy ["Chasing
Cars"].
We got told, 'Don't ask him about it because he gets angry' but we did because that's all
anyone cared about."
She claimed Lightbody sat through the rest of the interview with his middle finger raised
in protest.
Perhaps we can chalk up the entire sitch to the singer having an off day, considering
he gushed about the iconic track to BBC News years after this interview, claiming,
"I still have a really deep relationship to that song.
It's a beautiful moment every time you play it."
Kathy Griffin is no stranger to speaking her mind.
And the comedy veteran has often been called out over her sometimes blunt portrayal of
fellow celebs.
She told Salon in 2018,
"I tell the real stuff.
And there's some serious parts, like the death threats, very intense."
Nevertheless, this hasn't stopped Griffin from dishing all her hot celeb secrets in
her book, Kathy Griffin's Celebrity Run-Ins.
And one star she couldn't say anything positive about?
Actor Jon Hamm.
Griffin wrote of an ill-fated dinner party in 2016,
"You'll never convince me to like Jon Hamm.
Hammy showed up…He even said to me, 'What are you doing here?'
I said…'What are you doing here?'"
She explained that while talking to Jack Nicholson later on, an intoxicated Hamm reportedly whispered
in her ear, saying,
"First it was, 'You know your Emmy isn't a real Emmy'…then he whispered, 'You're so
o-o-o-old.'"
Considering the fact that Hamm previously told GQ that his popular Mad Men character,
Don Draper, is a bad dude that he quote, "lives with…every day," perhaps Hamm was taking
one too many pointers from his on-screen alter ego.
"You're never gonna please everybody, that's for sure."
Michael Jordan is considered the G.O.A.T. in the history of the NBA.
Unfortunately, it seems the legendary player's intensity on the court has spilled off of
it, as well, which fan and rapper Chamillionaire discovered following an alleged incident with
the basketball giant in 2009.
The rapper claimed via Upstream,
"I had saw Michael Jordan taking pictures with girls...I was like 'Man, this is just
that one moment...I'm gonna ask Mike for a picture.'"
He continued,
"I kind of expected him to say no, so I wasn't mad he said no.
But the way he said it?
He said, 'Oh hell nah, man!
I ain't taking no pictures with no n-----.'"
Yikes.
The story obviously picked up steam at the time, even on ESPN, which noted,
"There's also widespread support for the idea that Jordan is no saint…[We] can't help
but wonder if the public perception of Jordan is shifting."
As for Number 23 himself?
Jordan seemingly decided to prove Chamillionaire's claims wrong, as years later, he was seen
posing with rap artist 2 Chainz in an Instagram snap.
If you're an A-list celeb, you should probably avoid being rude to an up-and-comer.
Cue then 13-year-old Hailee Steinfeld, who was heading home after an audition in late
2009, and tried to talk to Lea Michele.
"I feel like I will live through certain experiences and be like okay never again."
Steinfeld told J-14,
"When I was auditioning for True Grit, I was on the Paramount lot.
Glee also films on the lot and I love that show.
I saw Lea Michele just walking to her trailer…So I walked up to her and asked for her autograph,
but she walked by and a guy came and said, 'Sorry, now's not a good time!'
I was so sad!
I was practically crying on the way home."
Michele later told Gossip Cop,
"I heard Hailee was upset and [I] feel terrible.
The Glee schedule is so jam-packed that the PA probably pulled me so that I wouldn't be
late to set.
I never meant to hurt her feelings.
She's an extraordinary talent and I look forward to meeting her one day."
And squash the beef she did, as the two actresses met once again at the 2011 SAG Awards, where
Michele took the time to pose for a photo with Steinfeld.
Jennifer Lawrence has been considered by many to be Hollywood's quirky "It Girl" for years.
She's the one who always speaks her mind, tends to fall in public, and is just generally
viewed as super relatable by her fans.
"Now I realize I've made the biggest mistake of my entire life."
But is this Oscar winner starting to take her fame for granted?
Lawrence sat down with Adam Sandler in 2017 for Variety's Actors on Actors series, where
the duo discussed the negative aspects of fans who don't respect their personal space.
The actress dished,
"Once I enter a public place, I become incredibly rude.
I turn into a huge a--hole."
"You get icey?"
"Yeah, and that's like my only way of defending myself."
She added,
"I see somebody walking towards my table, I just go…Or like 'Can I have a selfie?'
and I'm like, 'No!'"
While Sandler awkwardly laughed at the remark, he then tried offering up his own two cents
to the young starlet.
"I don't shut 'em down."
He says he had a strategy that works when fans his age wanna take a selfie.
"They go, 'Hey, Adam can I get a picture?'
And I say, 'You don't want that man,' and the guy goes, 'What?'
And I go, 'You don't want that.'
And he goes, 'Yeah, yeah, I don't.'"
Nevertheless, the damage was seemingly already done.
As of mid 2019, the YouTube video has 3,600 likes, but also holds a whopping 9,800 dislikes.
Looks like some fans were rubbed the wrong way.
