Johnny Dare
Celebs who are notorious for being curt and often rude to local hero worshippers. Starting with George Brett, Tom Watson and Len Dawson to name but three. There are some nice guys, too. Channel 9 anchor Larry Moore and Johnny Dare, for example.
But for the purposes of this item, let’s stick with the former. The celebrities we worship that always manage to act nice around most members of the media or when the cameras are rolling, but are all too often dicks when fans come up and want to praise them or – heaven forbid – ask for an autograph.
When brings us to this story in the National Enquirer about KC and Saturday Night Live alum Jason Sudeikis.
Jason Sudeikis
No more Mr. Nice Guy
“I’m a huge fan of ex-SNL star Jason Sudeikis, but three cheers for his gorgeous gal Olivia Wilde – who lashed out – and tongue-spanked Funny Fiance when he rudely blew off a gaggle of teen fans begging for his autograph as they exited a San Fernando Valley eatery,” writes columnist Mike Walker. ” ‘ Jason waved his hands to shoo the kids away, walked swiftly to his car, jumped in and started the engine while Olivia was still standing at the curb,’ said a source close to the star. ‘When he rolled down the window and asked what she was waiting for, Olvia snapped that she wouldn’t get in until he got out and apologized. Jason kept motioning but she wasn’t budging – so he finally cut the engine, got out with his tail between his legs and told the kids, “Sorry…I’m happy to take a picture with you guys.” ‘ CLICK< CLICK went the kids’ cameras as Jason signed autographs, and Olivia – after giving her man a big hug – opened the car door and climbed in.”
Not exactly a flattering representation of KC’s rep for Midwestern hospitality.
Sort of comforting to know that mega-rich celebs are just as whipped by their women as the rest of us.
Actually….this made Olivia even hotter. I like to hear that from a celebrity. My respect for unobtainable female celebrities has went up.
While not in KC, but still in the heartland, former St Louis Cardinal Vince Foster once gave some autograph hounds a free fireworks show…..in September.
Coleman ….not Foster and that did not happen in the heartland…happened in New York when he was a Met
He also was once asked about the impact of Jackie Robinson…to which, he replied
Who?
That tarp machine took a toll on poor Vince’s psyche man, you just don’t understand. 😉
Thanks man.
Its been a long…….day?
Might want to correct the headline to read “fiancee”, not “financee”.
It might be even better to correct it to fiancé. But Jr. doesn’t like to mess with those ugly little editorial checks.
dictionary.com says a fiance is a man engaged to be married, while a fiancee is a woman engaged to be married. Who knew?
Better yet:

“Your fiance is the man you plan to marry; your fiancee (or fiancée) is the woman you plan to marry.”
I understand Glaze plans on doing both at the same time.
It was David Cone. Get it straight.
Hearn this wasn’t a scoop. This so so last week.
Speaking of spell checkers…
Zak gets top honors for misspelling my name. And yes, when you quote another news source – The National Enquirer – it’s kinda obvious it was their scoop.
But I’ve got a dead serious hunch most of you guys don’t comb thru the Enquirer plus I put it in perspective by factoring in a little value added by sharing some diss on some of Kansas City’s least people-friendly celebs.
