As Requested: A non-celebrity who dated a celebrity (1/2 of Tenacious D) AMAA.
Hey! I was with Mr Gass for a spell...thus the "MrsKGass". Engaged. I flew back to Ohio to visit friends and was going to accompany my mom to the doctor's after finding out her cancer returned. So, not even 24hrs after being back in Ohio, Mr Gass texted me, told me "It wan't working" and that was the end! Weeeeeee! Met while he was touring with his side band Trainwreck. Was only technically paparazzi'd once, by TMZ. Handled it by walking quickly past the guy with the camera. Life changed for better by experiencing things most "normal" people never get to do. Changed for the worse by making me totally not believe in this bullshit emotion "love". Did attend many a red carpet/premier...treated great! Currently not dating...see previous answer. Also, tho...after giving everything up to move to start a new life...ya know, starting over with nothing really sucks ass. http://imgur.com/G8Wbv http://imgur.com/CLA1p http://imgur.com/L7lXC

I did get the reference. But I answered the question that was asked. I didn't know I was supposed to start spouting off lyrics, I honestly thought it was a real attempt from you to gain knowledge, worded cleverly.

Do you think you still would've been attracted to him if he wasn't famous?
[deleted]645 karma
What attracted me initially was the musical genius of the man. If it were possible for me to know of him without him having been famous, I honestly believe so. I'm really not a shallow person who loves based on appearance. I love the mind. I love having a connection with someone. Looks really don't matter a whole lot to me. If you'd seen some of my exes, you'd understand.

That is fairly obvious...
kal0029458 karma
Can you provide a picture of you holding a sign saying something along the lines of "reddit, april 29, 2012, MrsKGass" with your face in the picture obviously. Just for better proof
[deleted]708 karma
In all honesty, they really are both great people. I wouldn't have traded my time with them for anything. The first time I met Jack he offered me a chicken burrito from El Pollo Loco, haha. Really both very nice, Kyle and I still talk every day, and we still visit...just not near the same as it was. But seriously, neither are self-obsessed or high on their own horses.
[deleted]290 karma
He broke off your engagement out of the blue over text and you still talk every day?
I don't know if I could speak to a person again if they did that to me...
[deleted]110 karma
I know I would. Relationship or not, you put in your time with the Rage Kage.

Gingrich Verb/Adjective, the act of abandoning your extremely sick wife on her hospital bed while you fuck the shit out of your mistress, whom you later marry and cheat on with a third woman. Coined after serial adulterer/giant hypocrite Republican Newt Gingrich.
Person 1: Man, did you hear that Larry Gingriched his wife Cindy?
Person 2: Wait, you mean he cheated on her, married the mistress, then cheated on the mistress with a third woman?
Person 1: Yup. And poor Cindy was dying from brain cancer, too!
[deleted]87 karma
Kyle and I still talk every day
every day ??? I don't even talk to my mom that often.
iaintjesus289 karma
But I've never even MET your mom. I'd call her if I knew her though. If she's as cool as you talking to her would be fun.
puaCurveBall60 karma
Wait, you talk to your ex every day?
I don't talk to ANYONE everyday let alone exes... how does that work?
estragonsboot330 karma
is he as ripped as he looks, or does he only work out his glamour muscles?
[deleted]297 karma
HEY I HAVE TO MAKE FOODSTUFFS FOR MY KIDLETS! I will hop back on soon as I can!!!
throway38920487285 karma
whoa this is weird I was just watching the D documentary where Kyle says you are the best girlfriend he ever had. There is a part in that documentary where Kyle is talking to a bunch of people after a Trainwreck show and he is saying how he does Tenacious D just for the money (I think he calls it the 'money gig') and Trainwreck is where he has his fun. Is this true?
[deleted]280 karma
Huh. I was totally unaware of this documentary. In fact, I would be greatly surprised if I were the girlfriend he were referencing. But, Kyle has almost always had side projects...both for the love of music, and for keeping busy while Jack was busy. But if you feel like visiting youtube...check out marty schwartz kyle gass. I can guarantee that he is talking about me in this video.
throway38920487157 karma
Oh really!?! Is this not you at 2.26 in this video? Sorry if I am mistaken http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZTaKAx-A3k
[deleted]354 karma
(But at least now I think I know where the boxes of red hair dye came from that was returned to me amongst my other possessions.)
throway38920487295 karma
wow now I feel like a total dick, I am sorry I'll just disappear back into the internet now

...Woody Harrelson, for his prom date-rape question! Congradulations Woody. Sorry, Kyle Gass' Ex, you were so close!
Frajer233 karma
Did Kyle ever feel like a sidekick that you know of? Was he jealous at all of Jack?
[deleted]410 karma
Absolutely, he has insecurity issues. However Jack really does, too. I have only seen them perform once, a small (maybe 6 song?) set before the That Dog show at the Troubadour and they were both total bundles of nerves. And quite honestly that trait really endeared them to me.
TheMeatball246 karma
That's really funny. I mean, I understand that most people, even bigtime musicians, get nervous. It's understandable. Tenacious D is all about the over-the-top confidence, so it's funny to imagine them getting nervous then going out there and singing about how they're the greatest band ever and whatnot.
Loneytunes143 karma
How much you wanna bet that started as a way to alleviate nerves? If they go out and suck it's funny that they are claiming to be the best.
[deleted]207 karma
It saddens me to read that KG wasn't man enough to break up with you in person, did it via TEXT MESSAGE, and furthermore did so right when you were helping your mom with her cancer return. That's a super shitty, especially since you were engaged to him. What a bitch KG is.
Having said that, even though I no longer respect KG as a person, I will still listen the D all the time. (And by all the time, I mean occasionally.)
deemo144 karma
What was the reasoning for "it wasn't working"? That's some bad grammar I just did there.
[deleted]405 karma
"he wasn't happy". That's what I got. However, through some therapy sessions and serious conversations, it seems he wants the security of a relationship with the freedom of no relationship. I'm too old-fashioned for such a notion.
koolaidface108 karma
Your responses are quite refreshing compared to the other non-celebrity who supposedly dated a celebrity. Thanks for doing this.
[deleted]16 karma
At least it wasn't for some really stupid reason or completely unexplained.
ladorne132 karma
What were some of the things that "normal" people don't get to do, but you did?
[deleted]253 karma
Attend Red Carpets, get VIP access to shows, and I went to the Oscar gifting yay! Blows my mind that celebrities...the very people who can honestly afford luxuries, get these things shoved down their throats.
nimeisel125 karma
After experiencing what it is like to be with a famous man, would you chose to be a celebrity?
[deleted]207 karma
Yowza. I really don't know. I have experienced how crazy it is, just by proxy...and it's fun, a real adrenaline rush when people recognize you. But I really liked the fact that I was a behind-the-sceen-er, and could disappear into the crowd at any given moment. I honestly don't think I can answer that question right now, as it would probably involve a pro/con list and some serious serious soul-searching.
[deleted]180 karma
Almost everyday, seriously. There are various guitars strewn about his house, along with some recorders and flutes. When the mood strikes...he plays.
[deleted]294 karma
AMAA. That one's not going to get many details, save the fact that he's one of three men who've given me an orgasm. I'm a pretty tough safe to crack. He did it. :)
[deleted]281 karma
You are most welcome! I had been a fan of the D for ages. I found out Kyle was going to be at my favorite local bar with his band Trainwreck (now defunct). I went. I saw. I conquered. Temporarily.
[deleted]157 karma
Through Kyle I met Jack, of course. Umm...Dave Grohl! Val Kilmer! Danny McBride!
[deleted]167 karma
Oh, Val was on the set of The Roadie video shoot. He is campaigning against Betty White. Apparently, Betty White is a crack whore and used her drug money to buy off the Grammy judges and got the award he should have received, and apparently she was also fellating the judges backstage. Total heresay.
[deleted]116 karma
He was simply trying to convince me to join the Anti-Betty-White side with him. Sorry if it doesn't make sense...I never claimed to understand. I am simply reiterating.
bkdrummer55 karma
Dave Grohl is my absolute man-crush. I have heard that he is super chill as well... REALLY REALLY jealous of that one! Thanks for the answer!
[deleted]36 karma
Danny is awesome. I first met him at the Eastbound and Down series premier, then a few days later he was at the Roadie video shoot. He plays the part of the roadie, and it is too funny.
ElAvestruz55 karma
I don't have a question. I just wanted to tell you you're very pretty. runs away giggling
[deleted]119 karma
No. Pretty certain she was pre-me. Even if she was during my time with Kyle...I sure wouldn't blame her. I am sure she knew as much about me as I knew about her. (Sorry, was answering and cooking simultaneously. The food was awesome, I think we know where my attention was lacking.)
[deleted]91 karma
He lived in an apartment forever...just bought a house towards the end of our relationship. The house is truly a compound...house, carriage house, tiny little shack house, garage, garage with an apartment over it. Nice! But being from Ohio, I have seen nicer property at a much lower price that the $850,000 he paid. However...no ocean beach in Ohio.
Griffay36 karma
Are you living in Ohio now? Was it a difficult adjustment to go back to life after dating him?
<3
Griffay18 karma
I'm in Ohio too, and my red is bottle too, so hey that's awesome! Might I ask what big city you're in/near?
[deleted]21 karma
Not technically Toledo...but I say close enough! I grew up in Toledo...it will forever be my home. :)
TxDank9335 karma
Did you ever go to any hollywood/LA area mansion parties, and or go too Jack Blacks home ? If so please describe ?
edit: Thanks and No problem! I could just imagine rolling up to some insanely rich producers all glass home with his ferrari and bentley parked in the driveway .
[deleted]77 karma
I went to an awesome New Year's party at a mansion that was all glass. It was incredible. I never went to Jack's house, and I am sad about that. But he lives quite a drive away from Kyle, and the time I lived out there Jack was still pretty busy filming and wasn't home very often. I know that's not very descriptive. Sorry. :(
spurton35 karma
This will probably get buried but... I think I met you when Train Wreck played in Bakersfield CA about 5 years ago. I remember you because you hung out with my wife a bit at the bar. She was pregnant with my son and Kyle signed her belly "lil Kyle". Not sure if you remember that or not.
[deleted]13 karma
I cannot remember that, as I didn't know them five years ago. This is only year three.
[deleted]47 karma
Haha...they're around! I used to attend horror conventions like a fiend and met so many "famous" people through those. I met Kyle in Toledo at my favorite bar. Kyle and Jack had somewhat of an Ohio connection already established, though, through John Spiker, John Konesky, and Nate Rothacker.
[deleted]21 karma
I actually must do things NOT in front of my computer, now. Thanks to all of you who enjoyed me, and who helped me to enjoy this experience. Those of you who were dicks...suck my ass, it smells. (And no, my ass does not smell. It's GG Allin, scum fuck.)
[deleted]7 karma
Hello! Thank you for doing such a complete, courteous and well done AMA. What was it like being at these red-carpet events? Did you and the other "normal" people kind-of wallflower it, and let the celebrities have the show, or was it like a relaxed, normal event once you inside? What sort of free stuff do they really give famous people? And as someone dealing with the ending of a 4-year relationship I thought would end in marriage... how the heck do you go back to feeling OK? Thanks again for the AMA, you are very pretty!
XXLOLHEADSHOTXX1473 karma
Would you say it was not the greatest relationship in the world, but just a tribute?
