Today's Blind Items - One Hit A-Holes - Anniversary Month
This is not true in all cases, but it happens enough to the point where there is some correlation. What is that correlation? You are more likely to be a self centered jerk if you are a one hit wonder. What is crazy is that at least in my experience, the jerkiness is in place before the verdict is in whether they or he or she will have another hit.
My belief is they know they got lucky. Deep down inside they know they got lucky and don't have anything like that in them again. Maybe a friend wrote the song or someone who was in the band for just a brief moment. You can usually spot that kind of thing by looking at the rest of the record. Does that one song sound completely different than anything else on the record. I don't know why it is, but there are much more male one hit wonder jerks than female. Anyway, here are some of the one hit wonder a-hole moments I have witnessed.
#1 - This one hit wonder group from a few years ago was 100% a-hole. I actually hated the song and was glad it didn't make number one. It did make the top 5 though. They were already pricks before the song, so this just made things worse. While their song was on the way up the charts they had a photo shoot on a yacht here in LA. They wanted to make the most of it and invited a bunch of women. The yacht maybe went a mile off shore. It wasn't much. Apparently there was one woman there who didn't want to have sex with any of the guys in the band so they grabbed her and threw her overboard. She couldn't swim. And you know what? They didn't care. Several people rescued her and the a-holes told the rescuers they shouldn't have rescued her and she was probably lying about not being able to swim and she deserved to go overboard because who comes out for this kind of thing who doesn't want to have sex with a guy in the band.
#2 - This next a-hole didn't quite crack the top 20. Famous name. Famous family. They were probably a-holes too. Our one hit wonder is the "featuring" on this song. The main singer all of you know. Seriously. Anyway, our a-hole was on a flight from LA to New York. He was in Business Class and seated next to this teenage girl who was maybe 15. She was traveling alone, but I never figured out her circumstances. Whether she was an actress or did an upgrade or what. Anyway, before the place even takes off, he is offering her booze. She said no. In the air he is offering her more booze and some kind of pill he was crushing and snorting. She said no. He is getting more wasted and more aggressive. When she keeps saying no, he goes into a rant about she thinks her p***y is too good for him or is she some f**king lesbian because everyone wants to suck his d**k and that she should feel lucky he is even talking to her. It starts getting louder and the girl is literally shaking and crying. Turns out there was a marshal on the flight. He talks to our a-hole and moves him to the opposite side of the plane for the rest of the flight. A flight attendant sat with the teen the rest of the flight. Nothing happened to the a-hole. They made him wait until after the teen left the plane before he could get his stuff but no charges were filed and he was never even detained.
2-James Blunt?

ReplyDeletemaybe LMFAO as well. Think they are complete idiots.

ReplyDeleteI'll stick with LMFAO then.
ReplyDelete2) Cisco Adler
ReplyDelete1) the group who sang the Friends theme song
ReplyDelete1) Foster the people
ReplyDeleteI have always heard those guys are assholes.
1) Plain White T's - 'Hey There Delilah' (Just a wild guess)
ReplyDelete2) No clue
Wow all of those groups make right said Fred look really talented. Uggh
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they're jerks or not, but FUN had more than one hit.
ReplyDelete#1 -- Foster The People?
ReplyDelete1) Sugar Ray
ReplyDelete#1 Magic! (song=Rude) ?
ReplyDeleteThe Madden Brothers only had one hit, right?
ReplyDeleteDid one of those Jackson brothers except Michael had a hit? for 2
ReplyDeleteI've actually met them several times due to mutual friends and they're actually really nice guys. I don't think it's LMFAO and would be very disappointed to find out it was...
ReplyDeleteThere's a Madden in the Randoms....
ReplyDeleteEven network censors allow the word "asshole" to be said during prime time, so what's with the Puritanesque "a-hole" bullshit?
ReplyDeleteYou make money dragging celebrities through the mud with gossip, but somehow spelling out the word "asshole" goes too far??
Right Said Fred isn't just a few years ago. It's like decades ago.
ReplyDeleteThe Replacements? No.
ReplyDelete*Rembrandts. The Replacements would never.

I'm thinking #1 is Walk The Moon or The Wanted?
The Rembrandts. And they had a couple of songs that made the charts.
ReplyDeleteRight? Plus, we can all say it here in the comments,so what's the point? This is Puritan Enty, apparently.
ReplyDeleteFoster the People actually had a couple of hits, plus remember when they did that awards show medley with the Beach Boys and Bruno Mars? Not them. Though they do seem like assholes
ReplyDeleteI like Foster The People ...AND ...FUN.....i don't thnk they've come off as assholes atall in any of their interviews---i recall a couple of the respective singers had major anxiety but I don't remember attitude-they were pretty funny.....also they both have had more than one hit so, i'm glad it's not them.
ReplyDeleteThe Marshel should've pressed charges like he would on a civilian and the flight attendant should've done something before the girl was crying.
ReplyDeleteASSHOLES, both of them.
I swear to god I'm gonna keep my eyes open more, because if ony next flights I see someone pawing a teenager or making a girl cry, I'm gonna descent on their Ass!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking "The Wanted"
ReplyDeleteNot a featured singer in a band
ReplyDeleteThe Wanted was my first guess as well
