Diva Behavior Reports

[BobbyD 2]

Notes from all over

 

Looks like J. Lo is back to her diva ways. Two hours before the singer was in due for a recording session, she issued a three-page list of demands, including a request that all light bulbs be replaced with dimmer ones to make her look “desirable,” reports the London Mirror. The demands didn’t stop there. “She wanted fresh, piping-hot Cuban bread which we had to trawl 10 bakeries to find and dozens of packets of Skittles — including the new sour flavor,” a source told the paper. “She also wanted a gourmet meat selection, a separate cheese platter, and crates of water and fruit and scented candles.”

Feeling Hustled

 

TARYN Manning says that starring in the 2005 movie "Hustle and Flow" was "an incredible experience." The experience of not being paid, however, was just awful, she tells Patrick Carone in next month's Stuff magazine. "The one thing that sucked was that our contracts weren't really honored by [director] John Singleton," said Manning. "The movie sold at Sundance for all this money, and we really just got nothing . . . It's such a joke because the guy completely [bleeped] us over." Last year, after actor Craig Brewer claimed he had not been paid, Singleton told the L.A. Times the actors got "great careers" out of the film.

Abdul's "Diva" Antics Not Welcomed

 

American Idol judge Paula Abdul reportedly threw a "diva-like" tantrum while boarding an airplane recently, telling fellow passengers she was "too famous" to wait in line. Abdul was boarding a Southwest Airlines flight from San Jose to Burbank, California, when she allegedly demanded to be given special treatment and board the aircraft first. Eyewitnesses claim the star pushed her way to the front of a line of waiting passengers as one disgruntled commuter shouted, "You're no Sanjaya (American Idol contestant popular for his lack of talent)! You have to board like everyone else." A source tells The Scoop, "She pulled a major diva trip. The other passengers were not amused. She asked to be let on the plane and seated first." Abdul's spokesman has refused to comment.

Spider's Rewards

 

SHY, unassuming Peter Parker would blush at the way "Spider-Man 3" star Tobey Maguire travels the world to promote the most expensive movie ever made. Maguire rolls with an entourage of 10, including his fiancée, Jennifer Meyer, their daughter, Ruby, and a personal chef who cooks him vegetarian meals. The star also requires "two cases of the water he likes, a rocking chair in his hotel bedroom, and a full-size refrigerator." A rep for Maguire had "no comment."

Some Cannes Premieres May Cost More Than Movies Shown There

 

The Los Angeles Times observed today (Wednesday) that the costs of premiering a film in Cannes have skyrocketed as the dollar drops in value and the buzz at the festival increases in value. The newspaper said that while a Hollywood premiere may cost as much as $750,000, last year's premiere of The Da Vinci Code at Cannes is believed to have cost as much as $4 million. Hotel rooms at some of the swankest hotels are going for up to $3,000 a night, with many hotels demanding minimum stays of 12 days. The Times observed that when the producers of Mark Wahlberg's latest film We Own the Night balked at putting up his five-member entourage at the Hotel Du Cap, Wahlberg notified the company that he would not attend the festival.

Linda Evans & Joan Collins At It Again

 

Joan On Linda And It Isn't Pretty

Joan Collins and Linda Evans reunited last year for a 30-week North Amerian tour of "Legends." Basically, the tour was a complete mess. Joan Collins sat down with the Daily Mail and gave them a detailed account on why it was the worst "theatrical experience of her life." Joan isn't afraid to name names. Here's a couple of a few gems:

 

Linda arrives at first rehearsal with cosmetic-surgery tape over and under her eyelids and underneath her chin. Naturally, the cast all pretend to ignore this, but it's obvious she's come straight from either the face-lift shop or a car crash. She also has the weirdest collagen-enhanced lips I've ever seen. In fact, she epitomises the expression 'trout pout', with those huge lips that make her look like a gargoyle when she smiles. It's quite off-putting to have to look at that face, which used to be so pretty, and pretend not to notice.

Everyone who sees Linda is shocked by how she's spoiled her looks.

 

The sad thing is....Joan is right! She totally looks like a gargoyle. Joan should take her comedy routine on the road!

First preview. Linda's supposed to give me a gentle push, which appears to propel me off a coffee table and on to the floor. Unfortunately, her confidence has grown so much that she gives me an almighty shove that sends me flying on to my knees. The thud is so resounding that I hear the audience gasp in sympathy. (For the next six weeks, I need therapy on my left knee for the bursitis and pain caused by the impact of my whole weight falling on it.) I note that Linda hasn't even asked if I'm OK - it's as if nothing has happened.

 

Linda almost killed Joan! I'm surprised Joan didn't say that Linda tried to murder her in front of everyone!

 

Linda scrapes a spoon across my chin on stage while I'm speaking. This really pisses me off. You never invade another actor's space.

 

She's right, except these two whores aren't actors!

 

You could leave the theatre and have a three-course dinner during the pauses that Linda leaves between her lines.

 

This shit is getting better and better.

 

She's always talking about "motivation" and the "objective of the scene" - as if she's Dame Edith Evans and the play is Tolstoy. Tonight, she tries to upstage me by mugging (making faces) during my big speech! Unbelievable.

 

And Joan is going on and on like she's the f*king Jews and Linda is Hitler!

 

Joan Collins is the hottest bitch that God ever created! Basically, Joan is a gift and can do nothing wrong. Read the entire thing, because she bitches about everyone and anything!

Too bad. I think linda had the kind of bone structure that would actually have looked pretty good if she had allowed herself to age naturally.

I agree - she had the cheekbones to hold her face up - but now she looks really hideous. Gotta love Joan Collins, though - that bitch just will not shut up.

REAL-estate brokers are awaiting the possible listing of Bono's San Remo duplex, now that he's headed downtown. Spies recently saw the rocker and his U2 bandmate, The Edge, entering the hot-pink-hued Julian Schnabel tower at 360 W. 11th St. with clipboards and brokers. Sources say he's taking the top two floors there. Bono bought his current Central Park West penthouse from Steve Jobs in 2003. He recently complained of smoke from neighboring apartments, which resulted in a ban on fireplace use.

if you had a fireplace & couldn't use it would the ever so thoughtful of others/charitable master at least help pay your heating bills in winter??

imagine buying a NYC apartment with a working fireplace - trust me; it costs a premium in Manhattan - and then not being allowed to have fires bc a local celeb doesn't like the smell?! I'd sure want to open a can o' whoopass!

Exactly - and in that building, they can ALL afford some major whoopass.

 

I think the condo board requested the pleasure of his absence and that's why he's moving out.

Good for them. And, good riddance Bono!

From today's Page Six:

 

August 29, 2007 -- QUENTIN Tarantino made a nuisance of himself on a flight from the Philippines last week. A passenger on the LAX-bound Philippines Airline Flight 544 from Manila told us the "Kill Bill" director and his traveling companion, D-list actress Tiffany Limos, had just come from the Cinemanila film festival where Tarantino was honored.

 

"Tiffany was pushing Quentin in a wheelchair," the flier told us. "Apparently, Tarantino injured his back to the point where he couldn't walk . . . Quentin made one of the stewardesses cry because he didn't want to sit in his first-class seat. He wanted to sit on the floor or in one of the flight attendant's seats." A Philippine politician who happened to be on board had to come from his seat in business class to break up the fight. Meanwhile, cranky Tarantino "was telling Tiffany Limos how much he loved her . . . He called her 'the wife' on the flight." Reps for Tarantino and Limos didn't return calls.

Mood To Mate

 

KIMORA Lee Simmons wants another baby. Friends of Russell Simmons' ex-wife say she's trying to get sperminated by boyfriend Djimon Hounsou. Kimora and the chiseled underwear model spent some quality time away from her two kids with Simmons, Ming Lee and Aoki Lee, last weekend at the opening of the Sandals resort in Antigua. Sources there said Kimora "instructed hotel staff not to talk to her directly and only to address her through her assistants." A rep for Kimora declined to comment on her uterus but said she was very sweet to hotel staffers.

JILLIAN MICHAELS IS THE BIGGEST LOSER ON TYRA BANKS SHOW

http://www.janetcharltonshollywood.com/

 

 

 

The other day Tyra Banks taped a show featuring several personal trainers who had previously been assigned an ordinary person to shape up. The trainer whose client lost the most weight over a certain time period was to be declared winner. One competitor was Jillian Michaels from The Biggest Loser and she was VERY disappointed when her client weighed in and had lost the LEAST weight. According to our source, Jillian became hostile and viciously attacked the client, blaming her for everything. The client burst into tears and Tyra tried to comfort her. Jillian turned her rage on Tyra and insulted HER! The audience started BOOING Jillian and she turned on THEM, snarling "F--- YOU!" and stormed off the show! How Tyra's editors cut her tirade out of the show will prove to be interesting, and we can't help but wonder of there was some roid rage happening here.

Side Dish

 

Maggie Gyllenhaal didn't even turn her head after one polite older lady repeatedly asked her for a photo as the actress made her way into the Grey Goose Entertainment Iconoclasts party last week. But inside, "Sex and the City" star Willie Garson had no problem mingling with everyone, and told guests how he was texting Sarah Jessica Parker to see if she was still on set at 8:30 p.m.

Not So Sweet

 

ANNIE Lennox lost some fans when she flipped them the bird Tuesday night at her concert at Cipriani Wall Street to benefit UNICEF. After Sarah Ferguson introduced the former Eurythmics star, Lennox was well into her second song when people started clapping as the number seemed to end. Our witness reports: "She got ticked, finished the song, then sarcastically said, 'Thank you for listening' and gave them the finger. She said everyone was loud and rude and they should have their five mojitos and 'go see KC and the Sunshine Band if you want to act that way.' "

Teacher Kimora

 

KIMORA Lee Simmons' catty claws are out. The diva ex-model, who's currently dating Djimon Hounsou, was overheard telling a friend she was "ready to get on with life" after her split from Russell Simmons. The two have seemed to be friendly, with Kimora even throwing Russell a birthday party last month at Guastavino and inviting his new girlfriend, Porschla Coleman. But she was overheard by the same source saying she invited Coleman that night to meet the "major players" because she "wants this stupid b - - - h to get a clue." "The exes are all very civil, there's no negativity," said Kimora's rep.

Muddied Waters

 

DANCE diva Crystal Waters has some serious security. When the songstress, who had a major hit with the dance track "100% Pure Love," visited Marquee the other night, her handlers pushed people out of the way for her to get through the crowd, then pushed some more clubgoers away from her table, said a spy. Someone in Waters' entourage then grabbed a bottle of vodka that didn't belong to them. When its rightful owner tried to take it back, a verbal battle broke out, said the spy. "There was a tug of war over whose bottle it was," said the source. "It was tacky."

Depp rated best, Ferrell worst for autographs

List names ‘Sweeney Todd’ star most gracious celeb third year in a row

MSNBC.com

 

NEW YORK - Want an autograph from Johnny Depp? Chances are, he’ll sign something for you — and not be a jerk about it.

 

The 44-year-old actor is the most gracious celebrity — for the third year in a row — on Autograph magazine’s annual list of the “10 Best and 10 Worst Hollywood Signers.”

 

Depp is “‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ on film, and Johnny and the Signing Factory in person,” the magazine said.

 

“Though soft-spoken and laid-back, he likes to talk to fans and get to know them while signing,” New York autograph dealer Anthony Risi explains in the December issue, now on newsstands. “He’ll sign more than one item when he has time, too.”

 

The magazine said editors compiled input from autograph-collecting judges based in Europe, New York and California in ranking the celebs.

 

Matt Damon is second on the list, followed by George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, Rosario Dawson, John Travolta, Katherine Heigl, Jay Leno, Dakota Fanning and Russell Crowe — wait, Russell Crowe?

 

Crowe, who has a history of throwing temper tantrums, ranked among the worst signers on last year’s list. But in a turnaround, the magazine said, the 43-year-old actor “started treating fans great, signing, taking pictures and chatting them up.”

 

Will Ferrell is deemed the worst celebrity signer, followed by Tobey Maguire, Joaquin Phoenix, William Shatner, Renee Zellweger, John Malkovich, Julie Andrews, Bruce Willis, Teri Hatcher and Scarlett Johansson.

 

However, “keep in mind that even the best signers don’t sign sometimes, the worst sometimes do, and that just because they’re on the worst list doesn’t mean they’re bad people,” the magazine said.

Give Him Room

 

FORMER television actor Joshua Jackson thinks he's an A-list movie star. Spies at the Soho Grand on New Year's Eve said that most of the night Jackson and his girlfriend, Diane Kruger, were celebrating in the hotel's penthouse. But, "at 11, the hotel forced everyone in the penthouse to join the rest of the guests who paid for tickets at tables downstairs," said our spy. "Josh didn't want anyone sitting at his table," so other guests - including "Heroes" star James Kyson Lee - had to leave, our source claimed. "A hostess made the whole table get up, and everyone had to stand so that Josh and Diane could be alone." A rep for Jackson said, "Josh never asked anyone to leave any part of the party, and never asked anyone to do that for him."

Talk about slow cooking – Martha Stewart is still mad at Donald Trump.

 

The two moguls first clashed in late 2005, when Stewart's Apprentice spin-off debuted shortly after Trump's show, starting a war of words.

 

More than two years later, Stewart's still stewing.

 

"Donald said some things in all the hastiness that were unforgivable and I don't have time for people like that," she said at the New York Times Art & Leisure Week Forum on Friday.

 

Stewart, however, has found time – for a long time – with her billionaire boyfriend, software tycoon Charles Simonyi. She says they've been together for 14 years.

 

"We've kept it quiet," Stewart says.

 

Stewart is 66, her boyfriend 59, an age difference that played a role in their courtship.

 

"Our first date started with a bet," Stewart says. "He bet that he was older than me. I won of course. ... We bet for a substantial amount of money. Then after that we started hanging out."
