There are two sides to all celebrities: The squeaky-clean images forced upon the public by PR reps and their actual personalities. To provide you with a glimpse into the real Hollywood characters are Mollygood’s very own readers, telling tales of celebrity encounters big and small. Up this week: Reader Chelsea's meeting with Pauly Shore and Ron Jeremy. (It's a double-header!)
Our freshman year at Virginia Tech my sister and I saw Pauly Shore doing stand up. The show was funny enough but we left a little early to be the first in line for an autograph when the set ended. (Why we thought meeting Pauly Shore was important I couldn’t tell you now.) Anyway, we were the second and third people in line so we were happy, but his guards/people/whatever announced that anyone who wanted to buy merchandise for Pauly to sign would get moved to the front of the line. Fair enough — but not a single person did. Maybe someone did later, but as far as I can tell not a single person bought a thing. So he was sulky and didn’t say a single word when signing autographs. You wouldn’t think you’d be that burned out after, like, one autograph. Basically, he sucked.
The same year, Ron Jeremy came to the school for a ‘porn debate’ against some weird religious lady who took it WAY too seriously. She argued, he made jokes, it was pretty decent. Afterward was another autograph signing, and we were far back in the line with some other friends. He took the time to talk to everyone — joked around, signed anything (especially boobs) and flirted. Definitely someone who REALLY appreciates that he’s a fat ugly dude who’s become famous by having sex with gorgeous women.

Now I am not saying that perhaps graciousness is linked to, um, endowment - but it's food for thought, no?
While he's nasty, RJ does seem to take it all as tongue in cheek…seems like a funny guy who's in on the joke.
Regarding Ron Jeremy, I had a similar experience. He came to our school just this year for the 'great porn debate' and i was one of two people who got to interview him for the school newspaper. He was very friendly, posed for pictures with us and even filmed a scene with a group of students that were making a movie.
Not that I'm familiar with Ron Jeremy's body of work *AHEM!* but he wasn't always fat and IMO, he certainly wasn't ugly. I hope the link works/is allowed:

LOL I met Pauly Shore too. I used to work at Pier 1 Imports in Hollywood, and he came in with what I assume was his boyfriend. They were shopping for curtains, and was so weird and bitchy. What a douche.
I also helped Britney Spears there. This was right before she had her first baby. She was very pretty and sweet in person. She did seem a bit high or hung over, though. She had to escape through the back door because paps were all over the front of the building. Her bodyguard was very nice too.
I live right in Hollywood, so I have met a lot of celebs. Most of them have been nice.
Question: Did you edit out Chelsea's random caps and "quirky" Chelseaisms?
Yeah. Like RON JEREMY'S FAT HEART ATTACK????!!!!
(there is two chelseas. One Chelsea capitalizes the C and has no link to the name. The other chelsea uses a lower case c and has a link to the name.)
(I am assuming this came from the "Capital-No-Link" Chelsea.)
Thanks, QC. You should be on Jeopardy or somethin. By the way, props to Whitney on the double entendre.
Lale, now that I hear that they are dumbing down Jeopardy, I think I will try out. I may win some money!! Yeay Money!!
Also, I got a big kick out of Ron Jeremy when he went on a date with Kathy Griffin on her show a couple of seasons ago.
He had such a great sense of humor, and he was a gentleman. (psst..I heard that he wears some really HUGE shoes.) ;-)
Yeah, that was a good episode. For being, you know, a porn star - RJ is surprisingly not a douchebag. Or is, at least, good at covering it up.
I also saw Pauly Shore's standup, but I saw him in Chattanooga, TN, about two years ago. It was really disappointing because you just felt BAD for the guy. It was depressing more than it was humorous.
Oh, but I'm glad to hear Ron Jeremy was cool. I watched the Surreal Life the season he was on, and he seemed like he would be a gracious celebrity.
What A scoop. Stop the presses
Dang, the only celeb I ever met was Clay Aiken, the guy from AI. He was "dating" a friend of mine and she introduced me to him one day. Seemed nice enough, but the best part was after they broke up, my friend told me all kinds of good stuff, lol. Would you believe Clay Aiken is very, uh, gifted if you know what I mean!!! BIG!!! Why are all the weird ones well hung??
I mix it celebs everyday, it gets boring after a while, I prefer doing a bit of gardening myself.
Whitney…send me some pics of yourself riding a bicyle, wearing nothing but denim hotpants & a pair of socks and I promise to give you some celeb goss…deal?
The idea of Pauly Shore being rude just cracks me up for some reason. It's like dude! Get over yourself. You're the Weeeeeezle for crying out loud! He should be ecstatic that he was slightly more than a fly by night has been.
I also met Pauly Shore a few years ago at the Sundance film festival. I was driving a promotional vehicle. He knocked on the window blasted the product I was promoting and proceeded to ask if I could give him and his entourage of goonies a ride because, "They were so drunk man." Even if I didn't think the guy was a creepy douche I couldn't have fit 11 people in one vehicle.
It's sort of nice to see that the universe has ensured that everyone knows of this guys douchiness. He seems to have had a lot of run-in's with Mollygooders.
Ron Jeremy is an ugly fat piece of shit.
