Nova FM’s Tim Blackwell reveals the ‘RUDEST celebrity’ he’s ever interviewed

Nova FM host Tim Blackwell has named the ‘rudest celebrity’ he’s ever interviewed in his 20-year radio career.  

Appearing on the Shock Jocks podcast this week, Blackwell, 41, claimed the star he least enjoyed meeting was pop singer Rihanna after a disastrous on-air interview back in the mid-2000s.

Rihanna was in Australia promoting her song Pon de Replay at the time and, according to Blackwell, had quite the attitude.

‘She came into the studio, she would have been like 17 or something, and she did the interview with me and she was kind of like this (see photo below),’ Blackwell alleged. 

‘She was talking really low and giving me one-word answers. Anyway, [at the end of the interview] we got up and no joke, I turned to my producer and said, ‘Last we’ll see of her!” he added.

His prediction couldn’t have been more wrong, as the Barbadian singer would go on to become one of the world’s most successful musicians and businesswomen.

Most recently, the Grammy Award winner made history this week after becoming the first female artist to ever have 10 songs with over 1 billion streams on Spotify. 

It’s not the first time Blackwell has spoken about his more regretful celebrity interviews. 

Blackwell recalled his disastrous on-air interview with the Umbrella singer in the mid-2000s during an interview with the Shock Jocks podcast this week.  ‘She came into the studio, she would have been like 17 or something, and she did the interview with me and she was kind of like this (see photo below),’ he alleged

‘She was talking really low and giving me one-word answers. Anyway, [at the end of the interview] we got up and no joke, I turned to my producer and said, ‘Last we’ll see of her!” he added 

Back in 2016, he admitted to interviewing Katy Perry with a piece of pizza meat accidentally stuck to his neck. 

‘I rushed to [Perry’s] hotel to speak to her while smashing a piece of [pizza] on the way. All went as planned during the interview but then when I got home my wife said, ‘What’s that on your neck?” he told News Corp. 

‘It was a bit of pizza meat! I had sat shoulder to shoulder with Katy for almost 20 minutes with a piece of unidentified meat on my neck which she must have thought was a growth or something gross like that.’

‘Polite as always, she never said a word about it.’
