Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is the Fitting and Whipper with Kate Richie podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
I want to hear from people when you've seen celebrities
behaving badly and they talk about not meeting your idols
sometimes because they can really let you down. But thirteen
twenty four ten, I mean it does freak you out.
I mean they do, they live different lives. Joanne rang
a couple of weeks and dub me in because I
wouldn't take a photo for it.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
My god, you asked for twenty bucks, my dad.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
There's a photo with me with my arm around Johanne.
I love Joanne.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
She's actually reposted the Mainlee Dales story on that as well.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Oh good, only Joe Anne.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
But if you have seen a celebrity behaving badly, there's
a guy over in New York.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
He's a restaurant. His name's Keith McNally.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
He's bringing out a book whip about all the celebrities
that have behaved badly in his restaurants and nightclubs over there.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
What's the last time anyone's going to turn up to
his restaurant.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
You would know this guy. He was the one.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Do you remember when James Corden made a complaint because
he wasn't.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Happy with the way they made his wife's eggs.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Was it Belfazar and it was in New York.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
He insulted one of the servers at the restaurants so
much that she broke down and cried. So he posted
on Instagram about James Corden's bullying behavior, and James Corden
rang him, begging him, can you please take it down?
He said, no, mate, you made one of my girls cry.
So I'm going to tell the world. And he got
(01:25):
such a massive response from that. He said, you know what,
I'm going to bring out a book, tell everyone about
all the rude celebrities.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Chapter one James Corden. Singer Patty Smith was one. He
also reduced a waitress. She reduced a waitress to tears
because the waitress forgot to put bread on the table.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Okay, I mean that's kind a bit far. Isn't it
just bread? Isn't it just the start of the start
of the meal.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
He had a nightclub called Nell's in New York.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
The entrance fee was five dollars, no exceptions.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Madonna refused to pay it. She did, oh do you
know who I am?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
What a beauty?
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I'm not paying five dollars five for Madonna.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
When they refused her entrance, she called him an effing
idiot and left in a hulf.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
Okay, sure is there enough in these stories for a
whole book? It feels a little pete repeat. Chapter three Madonna, Well,
the entry fee was five dollars. She told me to
get stuffed. Chapter four Madonna Again, I don't know where
else do you go?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I mean, it's it's juicy.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
I mean, whenever you see it's it's hard because whenever
you see, well, who did we see at the airport,
the La La airport?
Speaker 3 (02:40):
It was a Renas Elwiger, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
And it's that moment where you sort of everything just
stops and it's in slow motion as you see her
walking towards you.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
She smiled at us, didn't she.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, she was lovely Renas Elweger. Why didn't you write
a book? I mean, if you've got a restaurant where
all the celebrities go, wouldn't you write a book about
the great celebrities have been in there and then tied
into what their meal was. That'd be more interesting than
the ones that cracked the poos?
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Well? He did, he did.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
He does say that you know it was a five
buck entry fee, but guys like Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Sting,
Andy Warhol, they loved it.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
They would pay up, they would look after his staff.
There are ones I agree.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Maybe just put the stinkers at the back of the book.
Speaker 5 (03:22):
You guys probably haven't been asked this before, but who
would be the rudest celebrity that you guys have have
had to interview?
Speaker 3 (03:31):
This will just this will be on.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Wouldn't run anything all over this tomorrow, he.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Would, Tom You're you're you know what, We're going to
throw this back onto you, Tom, because you're our producer.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
You're you're here with us the whole time.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
So was there any celebrities that rocked us Tommy in
an interview before?
Speaker 5 (03:52):
Look, I think the one you got most upset about
was Tyer Kruze. You might know. His song was it
Is It Dynamite? I think one one hit won though,
and he refused to take off his sunglasses in Corey
Worthington's style, which.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
Had dealer vibes. Yeah, you're right.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
And then remember you introduced him as Tao and he
went tire mate, yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
And we's Yeah, I got his name Ra right, and
then he did.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
He was giving his one word answers.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
At the end of the interview, we wound.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
It up quite quickly and his publicity guy said.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Can you guys get a photo and we went n.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
You refused. You refused to photo with him, So probably
Tires the one that's rocked you the most of it.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Well, when Whipper asked him, are you and your brother
Tom closet that he doesn't.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Look like Tom Cruise at all?
Speaker 1 (04:46):
No, Tommy had a bit of an issue with Bruce Willis.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Yeah, yes, Bruce Willis shutting you down mid three minutes.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Him a beer and I didn't realize he was recovering alcoholics.
So research is crucial for the these things. I take
full blame for that.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
And then when you asked him, are you're close to
your brother Tom Cruise?
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I went, they're not related all. He doesn't even have
the same surname. You idiot.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I mean, I ask every interview, how's your brother Tom Cruise?
Speaker 3 (05:15):
Have you got the Daniel Craig audio there?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
When Whipper interviewed him for James Bond that was the abscess.
Remember that I'd rather suck the pass out of an
abscess and I reckon.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
That was on a Saturday as well. On my weekend,
I went to sit down with Daniel Craig. The annoying
thing is Daniel Craig thought he was James Bond in
the interview. Yeah, it's okay, you're an actor. You're playing
a role. Daniel.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
How many mistakes did you make?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I've got four separate whipper awkward Daniel Craig.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
To hear them after them, there's a guy when you
sit back and you go great, another Bond.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
Goods and your girls to work with?
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yes, yes, I got the easiest w you answer that question.
Speaker 6 (05:59):
A lot of Bond James Bond? Was that part of
the audition.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
I don't remember. I don't honestly don't remember.
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Cool Bond James Bond because that's such a great line.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Is the pause crucial?
Speaker 6 (06:15):
Does it direct to.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
Go one to three?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
James Bond?
Speaker 6 (06:18):
Now he's never stoped some.
Speaker 5 (06:20):
Other reality that I'm not involved with.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Let that one go.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
He's so off.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Sun is another one, Jazz.
Speaker 6 (06:28):
I've been set a challenge recently, eight cage's in eight weeks.
I'm struggling.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I need only cos after four o'clock.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Okay, that's it.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Could you show us a little bit of that individual
i'd plus out of an abscess.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Not a really friendly guy, the old Craig of Daniel,
well my first names.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
When you decide to go down the track for how
many cage's you've lost?
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I ran out of things to talk to about, bringing
up a couple of personal issues and I told him
about my grandma. Got on you, Daniel. Great to catch up.
