Famous bs artists a la hulk hogan

[Lance Uppercut]

Man that hogan interview about Wembley has been making the rounds and I think there was a new one where he just adds new stuff.

Also, I’ve been binging Steven seagal videos lately and man, aside from the narcissism, the insane amount of lying is quite amazing. It’s quite hilarious to hear what kind of nonsense comes out of his mouth.

Who else in Hollywood or, even better, in random niche industries has their own personal Hogan/Seagall types in it?

[Cranjis McBasketball]

Paula Abdul swears up and down she was in a plane crash that there is zero evidence ever happened.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

Might be a bit obscure but Blake Judd from Nachtmystium is totally going to send you a copy of the album you ordered and it totally won't be a cheaply made bootleg...

[BorneAgain]

Look up everything related to Tommy Tallarico (and the Intellivision Amico) and you will be spoiled by the amount of the nonsense spewed.

Gene Simmons enters the chat...

I found a old Metal Edge from when they were making the album Psycho Circus and good lord, he was addressing the rumors going on about the album sessions at the time and Gene states the following during it

All 4 members play on every track, what you hear on the album is the 4 originals, there is no outside players

There is no arguing going on, its the 4 of them getting together and making magic, theres no song rejecting its the producers deciding what goes on what

Him and Paul are taking a back seat and letting Ace and Peter lead the sessions

All 4 members are equal in the process of writing for the album

There has never been any ghost players on any KISS releases in the past, the 4 members you see in the photos on the album are the 4 people who are playing on the album.

I know Alice Cooper sued them over that album/tour, not sure what ever came of it though.

Billy Mitchell.

[Cyno]

That guy who's married to Danielle Fishel.

[Sephiroth]

Arnold Schwarzenegger has told some tall tales about his bodybuilding days

I have a hunch Marlon Brando also embellished a lot of his exploits

[Scoops]

Peter Molyneux is an obvious one, and to a lesser extent Todd Howard.

It was because of the song 'Dreamin' from Psycho Circus is pretty much 'Im Eighteen' from Alice Cooper. They settled out of court over it.

WWE Hall of Famer and former TV host Donald Trump told some absolute whoppers until his mysterious disappearance in 2016.

That’s what I vaguely recall. I also know Alice was on his Rock N’ Roll Carnival tour or some such at the time too.

Don't forget his son, who published a comic using traced artwork.

[Mozenrath]

Some chubby kid from Astoria, Oregon had a lot of wild stories, like claiming Michael Jackson came over to his house to use the bathroom.

It gets funnier than that, even. He chose to plagiarize Bleach, which was EXTREMELY popular at this time, and not like some obscure thing to pilfer from.

Like, plagiarism is a short-sighted and stupid tactic for an artist, regardless, but if he had gone for deeper cuts, or varied it up, it'd have maybe escaped notice for a while or not been seen as especially actionable. Lifting huge amounts of material from a very mainstream series isn't going to be something you can just expect people to overlook.

According to Norm Macdonald, that O.J. Simpson fellow couldn't be believed for anything.

[chazraps]

There's an old school rapper from the 80s named MC Shan who has had some legit classics, most notably "The Bridge," and perhaps hip-hop's all time greatest anti-crack song "Jane Stop This Crazy Thing."

But then in the 2010s in the age of Twitter where he had a platform again, he just became a perpetual lying machine. It's similar to the Hogan thing where he's done so many impressive things that he shouldn't have to lie, he just likes to.

The most notable is his claim that he was originally meant for the "Fresh Prince of Bel Aire" role and not Will Smith, which some hip-hop and music "did you know" trivia corners have just taken and echoed as fact without doing any research to see that the timelines don't line up at all. The way Shan tells it, he was starting to breakthrough in Hollywood after having acted in a movie with Steve Martin (1991's 'L.A. Story') and that lead to NBC wanting to cast him as the lead in the show. However, when Shan was cornered by an NBC executive for sexual favors, Shan turned him down and went on to say that Will Smith serviced him and that's where he got the part.

As casually homophobic as it is clickbaity, Shan is the one and only person to ever, ever suggest he was considered for the part. Further, 'LA Story' was released midway through when the first season of "Fresh Prince" was already airing. It also discounts that Will Smith had a few years of working with NBC doing guest spots and hosting gigs for their other programming in the late 80s which would have already put him on their radar, whereas Shan had no acting experience at all, let alone enough of a relationship with NBC for them to consider putting him as the lead in their new prime time show.

So yeah, Shan's a constant CONSTANT liar who directly takes the Hulk Hogan route of sprinkling in two details vague enough that whoever is listening to him can point to and say 1) they sort of remember that and 2) are convinced that there's no way someone else would lie about that.

[Heart of fools gold]

Stephen Rannazzisi from the League fame, for years told the story of how he worked in the world trade center on the 54th floor. And how he narrowly avoid death and how he escaped on 9/11. And how surviving such a tragedy gave him the courage to move to LA and pursue a career in comedy. Well in 2015 the NYT reached out to him to say hey we have all this info showing that the company he claimed to work for didn't have office in the trade center during that time, that there was no record he ever worked in the towers. So he finally comes out that he lied about the whole thing because it was a good story to help him stand out. Well he's basically been blacklisted from TV and film since then.

[Savage Gambino]

Rapper Kevin Gates gotta be up there. Hogan and Seagal are some champion shit talkers, and even they have never gone as far as to imply they could start a car battery with their bare hands... to my knowledge.
