I have a picture with J-Lo. No amazing story, my sis won tickets to a CD signing from a radio station, and we got front of the line. She was very nice and I was such a nervous wreck I was paralyzed, but she was still so sweet to me. That’s the only pic I have with a celeb.
But I have met lots of celebs, working at Disneyland restaurants and fine dining in Orange County- to name a few people that I served myself:
- Pamela Anderson (Super nice and down to earth. Ate out on the patio with everyone else)
- John Stamos (very chill, quiet)
- Larry King (Awkward, not too friendly but not rude. Weird tbh)
- Anne Hathaway and Topher Grace (they were there together. Very quiet and awkward and horrible tippers.. they pooled their change together just to tip ??? Not mean or rude but they just looked like they hated life, even though they had a private dining room)
- Shaq and Kobe (very nice, very generous, tipped ridiculously, tipped EVERYONE even the bussers, hosts, and food runners)
- Omarion (worst guest celeb or non I’ve ever served. Rude, demanding, demeaning, treated staff like slaves, complained about everything, ran everyone around to death, made one person cry, left barely any tip, like $1 on a $200 check… and he did this about 4 different times. It was really sad especially after seeing his MTV Cribs about his 2 houses and how much money he likes to spend)
- Mark-Paul Gosselaar (SO SWEET AND NICE TO ME AND MADE ME BLUSH SO HARD I ALMOST STARTED A FIRE WITH THE BANQUET BURNERS - a story for another day)
- Snoop Dogg (very chill, high as fuck, I made a “dizzle” joke and he only chuckled but his wife cracked up laughing and almost choked)
A bunch of others but mostly when I worked at Disney and we hosted events for ABC. Fun times.
