PRODUCER NOT SO SWEET ON MEG RYAN
Zap2It.com Gossip
Meg Ryan is known as America's Sweetheart -- but not to the people she works with. Jonathan Pillet, the executive producer of her recent boxing film, "Against the Ropes," won't be working with her anytime soon. "She is so rude in person; she was even rude to my kids when they met, and I am the executive producer of the film," he tells the Las Vegas Journal Review.
Pillet had harsh words for the aging cutie, saying she "likes to pretend to herself that she is seeking out all these dramatic roles as a career choice to balance off the cutesy parts she played in the past, but the truth is, at 42, no one wants to see her in the girlie roles anymore."
I couldn't have said it better myself, Jonathan. And considering Meg's thin talents as a dramatic actress -- witness her turn as a drunken floozy in 1998's "Hurlyburly" where she has to share the screen with real actors like Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey -- she ought to remember what side her bread is buttered on and amend her behavior.

Full Version: Diva Behavior Reports
PageSix
IT was a Monday night massacre for the creative team that guided Jennifer Lopez to the top of the Hollywood heap.
Longtime manager Benny Medina - who many say made Lopez into the huge star she is today - was let go (as PAGE SIX predicted last week), along with her agent of six months, Endeavor star Patrick Whitesell.
"Benny was let go because of [fiancé] Ben [Affleck] mostly," our source said. "Ben hated Benny. He hated how Benny created this diva image of Jennifer."
Although it was widely reported that Lopez would insist on white flowers, white candles and 300-count thread sheets in her hotel rooms, our insider said the demands were all from Medina, not Lopez.
"When Jennifer did the ?Enough' press junket, Benny insisted he have suites in the hotels as well," the source revealed. "It was like the studio was dealing with two stars, not one. And she was blamed for it.
"Listen, Jennifer never really cared," the spy said, but added: "Benny made her, along with [former Sony exec] Tommy Mottola. Those things never bothered her, but they bothered Ben.
"It was also a control issue with Affleck. He is just another Puffy [Combs]. He is almost worse with the control issues."
Meanwhile, Whitesell - who reps Affleck - told the media that he dumped Lopez, not the other way around, because he couldn't work with Medina.
Spies say Lopez is heading to CAA, under the tutelage of Richard Lovett - adding to the high-wattage CAA star power that includes Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu.
"Watch for a huge exodus from CAA soon," a Hollywood insider predicted. "Sandra was already angry about Julia coming to her agency, and the other women will not be happy about Jennifer coming."
As for management, PAGE SIX hears Mottola was trying to get Lopez into his new firm - and this time may succeed.
Lopez, via her new p.r. man, Dan Klores , said: "Change is often very difficult to make. Benny did a wonderful job for me over the years, and I will be eternally grateful to him. Patrick is a great, great agent and an even better human being, but for a variety of reasons I needed a change."

Looks like not just the stars get a big head in Hollywood, it rubs off on the assistants!
by Marilyn Beck and Stacy Jenel Smith
Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin waited their turn -- for nearly 45 minutes -- to be seated at Santa Monica's petit Giorgio's restaurant. Madonna and Guy Ritchie dropped by a few nights later and also waited -- just like ordinary folks -- for a table at the very in, very popular laidback tiny Italian eatery. How rare, how refreshing, in a world where Filmland stars most often demand to be treated like royalty -- and usually get their way.
How about this for spoiled brat behavior? Jennifer Lopez decided to move from one London hotel to another some 100 yards away. Instead of walking the distance, she and her entourage of about 30 piled into six limousines for the journey! And that's not all. J. Lo insisted that a retail area in Sundance be cleared so that she and her Ben would not be eyeballed by outsiders while they shopped, shopped, shopped; she pulled the same thing at Barneys New York over the Christmas holidays.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has demanded -- and gotten -- the same treatment at shops. He's even taken the I-vant-to-be-alone philosophy to celebrity sports tourneys. At one such weekend in Canada, he insisted he would not ski on the slope where the competition was being held, but off by himself on an adjoining mountain.
Then there's Julia Roberts, who, while making a film in New York, demanded that TriStar studio keep a jet standing by 24 hours a day on the off chance that she had the whim to be whisked to L.A. Still, hardly anyone can match John Travolta, whose demands have included that studios pay for his whoppin' entourage -- some dozen assistants, trainers, makeup artists, standins, security guards, massage therapists, drivers, and his personal chef -- while he's making a movie. Hollywood is happy to allow its stars to act like spoiled brats, as long as their films make money. Travolta, who needs a hit badly, had better watch out.

Even when Jennifer Lopez is doing a music video benefiting victims of both the recent terrorist attacks and the African AIDS epidemic, J. Lo is high maintenance. Along with dozens of other performers, Lopez has participated in a charity remake of Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On," and was at Miami's Big Time studio on October 20 to film her cameo in the accompanying music video. But before the shoot, Lopez's representatives gave the production crew this detailed "rider" describing what needed to be in place prior to the diva's arrival.
A copy of the document was provided to The Smoking Gun by two sources involved in the "What's Going On" production, both of whom thought Lopez's demands were a bit much considering the charitable nature of the project (proceeds will be split between the Global AIDS Alliance and the September 11th Fund of the United Way).
As it turned out, Lopez only spent about 90 minutes on the Miami soundstage, so that spread mentioned in the handwritten addendum went untouched, according to one TSG source. Also, Lopez had to settle for a greenish-colored couch, not the desired white one. Somehow, she survived. (2 pages)

Nicole Kidman has the 'Stepford Wives' set abuzz with concern that she'll take time out to shoot a perfume ad.
All's not well on the set of Nicole Kidman's "The Stepford Wives," co-starring Bette Midler and Matthew Broderick.
The jittery crew of director Frank Oz's film is griping about delays on the remake of Ira Levin's suburban horror story - and about Kidman's alleged diva-ish behavior.
Our on-set snitch says Kidman has slowed filming with complaints, including an unwillingness to shoot outdoors on hot summer days.
The crew is also worried she'll hold them up even longer by jetting to Australia to film a Chanel commercial with Baz Luhrmann, her "Moulin Rouge" director.
Kidman has yet to be officially announced as the new face of Chanel, but it's the worst-kept secret in fashion.
Her rep strenuously denies that Kidman is responsible for any delays. "That is crazy. No one is more professional than Nicole."
The movie has been plagued by other delays, says our insider.
"The whole film is on hold for re-writes. The final scene - which was supposed to have been shot this week - was to include a beheading of Christopher Walken, which is now going to be scrapped for something else. The crew is wondering what will happen."
Producer Scott Rudin joked through a rep: "So far, there are no heads rolling, but it's early in the shoot and you never know."

Recently we were bantering about managers and publicists who develop "diva images" for the unsuspecting star. Below is in today's NY Post, I have blanked out the name (but we all know). Now, this is a person who has changed her whole team and she still is getting the same publicity. Is she just getting a 'bum' rap. Also, "W" didn't deny the incident. Or did they plant it????
NY Post 9/20
"Diva" was supposed to do a shoot for W magazine," a Hollywood insider said. "And she had a long list of demands - one of which was a private jet. This is unusual because W doesn't really have that sort of thing in the budget. But they really wanted "Diva", so they paid for it."
Sadly, the plane sent to the 'Diva's' set for "Shall We Dance" in Winnipeg to take her to Los Angeles was not up to snuff.
"She flew to Los Angeles on the W plane but refused to fly back in it because it was not good enough," the insider laughed.
"She got to the airport and saw a better plane waiting. It was Enrique Iglesias' plane. She insisted on flying back to Winnipeg in Enrique's plane. Good thing Enrique let her, because she was throwing a fit."
A pal of Diva had a different account: "Diva flew the W plane there and wanted to stay one more day in Los Angeles before flying back. The W plane was already booked the next day, so she went in another plane."
A rep for W declined comment. Diva's rep didn't return calls.

We don't know what happened, but when Britney Spears appeared on British TV, the staff was prepared for dealing with her now famous demands. But surprise! She was polite and sweet and one of her few requests was to have cans of Red Bull, Coca-Cola and Evian removed from her dressing rook because she didn't want her sponsors, Pepsi, to think she was drinking rival drinks.
Now, on the other hand, when Mariah Carey blew into London for an appearance, she not only lived up to her diva image -- she enhanced it.
Mariah checked into the world-class Claridges Hotel and ordered up 2 DVD players for her penthouse so she would watch DVD's of herself. That was just a start. She wanted six dehumidifiers in her suite, plus an extra suite to store her wardrobe and insisted that the Evian water be served in chilled plastic bottles only. The bellboys lugged 43 suitcases to here suite plus a trunk of make-up. Now that's how a rock star is expected to act.

Concert organizers in China have been stunned by Carey's behavior since she arrived in Shanghai last week -- carrying 60 pieces of luggage and an incredible 350 pairs of shoes.
She was whisked off to the city's Hilton hotel by a convoy of eight vehicles -- four carrying her baggage -- and refused the reserved presidential suite, requesting a suite with more feminine wall colors.
Carey then banned journalists from asking questions and photographers from taking pictures of her at a press conference.

But there simply wasn't room for Mr. Foxx's ego, as my segment's only about seven minutes long, depending on how big Giuliana DePandi 's hair is (or mine). J.F., accompanied by a couple of beefy dudes and a handful of honeys, rolled up to the VIP section expecting A-list treatment. The bouncer had some trouble locating a table for the demanding Foxx. Finally, a couple nearby offered to give up their choice spot. Later, downing drinks and running off at the mouth, J.F. wasn't winning any friends this party-hearty night. "I'm a P-I-M-P," he proudly spelled out for all to hear. What does that mean, that Foxx is the next offering on Rick Solomon's Website?

Teenage pop singer Hillary Duff allowed her bitter feud with actress Lindsay Lohan to flare up dramatically at the Los Angeles premiere of her new movie Cheaper By The Dozen on Sunday night. The singer, 17 - encouraged by her furious mother Susan - attempted to have Lohan thrown out of the glitzy bash, first by her huge minder Troy and then by film executives from 20th Century Fox. One onlooker says, "They walked up to the people at Fox and started screaming, 'We are not happy! We want Lindsay to leave! Get her out!' " According to New York gossip site Page Six, the bosses were furious with Duff for her outburst and shot back, "'Lindsay was invited. If you are not happy, you can leave, ' before turning to Lohan and saying, 'Lindsay, please stay.' " Lohan - who had been left shaken and upset by the incident - had planned to go quietly but was encouraged to front it out by her infuriated PR people. The feud between the pair was ignited by Duff's relationship with Lohan's ex-love Aaron Carter - who allegedly left the Freaky Friday actress for his current belle. Duff deliberately upset Lohan by arriving at the premiere of the Jamie Lee Curtis -starring movie with Carter. However, Duff's representatives were quick to quash the reports, saying, "I did see Lindsay at the party but their paths never crossed. She had to leave early because she had an early flight to Boston the next day for a concert. And there were several months between when Lindsay dated Aaron and when Hilary dated him."

Fears are rising for the mental health of supermodel Naomi Campbell , after she reportedly threw so many tantrums on the set of a fashion shoot that she was replaced with another model. The British beauty was in Spain with fashion bible Vogue, when she firstly angered staff by not coming out of her hotel room at the Madrid Ritz for four hours. Once the shoot began six hours late, according to British tabloid The Daily Star, Campbell then refused to pose for the agreed pictures, which featured her as an actress accepting an Oscar. Her constant tears and refusals led the magazine to replace her with a Russian model, while Campbell was taken to Madrid Airport for a flight out of the country. A source says, "Naomi was just impossible. She kept crying every five minutes and screaming to her assistant. She was saying she was depressed because of a personal thing. She also kept asking for strange things." Yesterday, her spokesperson did not comment on the incident.

The Simple Life sexpot, Paris Hilton , 22, threw a fit when she wasn't given enough free stuff just hours before the taping of Fox's New Year's Eve special in Las Vegas, Star has learned. She was offered a necklace, Dunkin' Donuts coupons and a leather guitar strap at The Venetian Resort taping, but her security man said she wanted an electric scooter, sunglasses, a case of vodka and MP3 players -- or else, our spy reports. Paris was later heard hollering, "I want a scooter, goddamnit!" from her makeup chair in the green room, but her rep denies it.

"Somebody asked me to pose next to him, and the first thing he does is try to kiss me," she tells Steppin' Out magazine's Chaunce Hayden. "But he had this gross roast beef sandwich in his mouth, and at the same time he tried to stick his tongue in my mouth! I had to pull away, but then he grabs me, pulls my arms up and pulls down my top and starts humping me while people took pictures. I was terrified."

Elizabeth Hurley threw tantrums on the set, treated her co-stars like trash and had trailer-rocking sex with boyfriend Arun Nayar.
"She thinks she is really beautiful," Roy ranted to the London Evening Standard. "Well, when you have seen her first thing in the morning using a spatula to trowel thick globs of foundation into her old acne marks, she's not that attractive anymore."
Roy also dished about Hurley's on-set assignations with Nayar, "Whenever there was a spare five minutes he was down there. All over her like a rash.
The whole trailer was really shaking," said Roy, who said the entire set could see the couple copulating through the curtains.
A reformed drug addict and alcoholic, Duncan Roy was sent to prison in 1983 for credit-card debts.
Hurley's rep of course denies all.

GEORGE Michael's popularity is dropping faster than his pants in a public restroom - but he still knows how to behave like a diva. Sony executives are steamed that Michael is being picky about promoting his new album, "Patience." Says our insider: "George is refusing to do any television to promote the album. He is also saying the only radio he will do is the top 10 stations. His hubris is amazing." The album's first single, "Amazing," hits the airwaves next week, but our spies are already snickering about the pomposity of the second single, "John and Elvis." A tribute to John Lennon and Elvis Presley, Michael plays a piano once owned by Lennon, which he bought for $3 million. Michael suffered a U.S. backlash last year when he accused President Bush and Americans of being "warmongers." A rep for Sony Music told us: "George is not being a diva. Radio reaction is outstanding and he will be interviewed on the 'Today' show by Matt Lauer. The delay of release in the U.S. is due to the overwhelming success of the album in Europe."]]>

Naomi Campbell, 34, arrived at London's Earls Court 2 venue minutes before the Brit Awards was to start and threw a tantrum when she realized she didn't have her own dressing room.
After realizing she would be sharing a suite with British reality-TV star Kerry McFadden and teen actress Scarlett Johansson, Naomi stormed out of the show altogether, leaving award bosses to find a replacement to present the Darkness with the Best Rock Act award.
Luckily for the organizers, the R&B singer Jamelia offered to stand in.
One insider says, "Naomi's pathetic. She obviously thinks she's bigger than anybody here. But if she is, it's only in height.
"She finally arrived with just minutes to spare and was in one of her regular prima donna moods. She was encouraged to get dressed quickly, and hit the roof as they tried to hurry her.
"She screamed words to the effect that she'd get ready in her own time. But the silly cow really threw her toys out of the pram when she realized she had to share a dressing room with all the other female presenters."
After Naomi discovered another presenter Shania Twain had been given her own room, she grew even more enraged. ]]>

Christina Ricci.

It was a Wednesday Night during the summer of 2000. I was at the Albert, sitting around bored, waiting from my friend Evan to show up. All the while being forced to listen to a really lame punk-pop band from Montreal. I was enduring them just so I could see the headlining act the Sexarinos, a garage rock band from the same city. I looked around for any interesting faces, all the while beginning to feel old compared to the hyperactive teenagers around me.
One face caught my eye, it was a very familiar-looking face, one I've seen on TV & the big screen for the past few years. "Huh" I think "that girl looks like Christina Ricci." After that brief thought I go back to being bored out of my skull.
Fortunately Evan eventually showed up, just in time for the Sexarinos to start playing. We moved up to the stage to see the band up close, but as soon as the second song started, we found ourselves brutally shoved aside by the Girl Who Looked Just Like Christina Ricci. Reeking of booze, she tried to start a moshpit, which Ev and I were not interested in partaking in, as we preferred to goof off by ourselves in a corner away from the action. After a couple songs, the singer tried saying a few words:
"Hi, Folks. Thanks for--"
"FUCK YOU!"
"Oh Hi Miss Ricci, you know we're a big fan of your--"
"I SAID FUCK YOU!"
At which point, realizing that she was not going to shut up, the band started playing again. Two times the singer tried speaking, and each time The Girl Who Looked Like Christina Ricci would attempt to show her razor-sharp wit by yelling "FUCK YOU!" a whole lot.
Eventually the band came to a close, and preparations were being made for an after-hours party was being made with the Sexarinos (it helped Evan played with them at a show in Calgary). While standing around listening to Evan and the bass player catch up on old times, I watched as The Girl Who Looked Liked Christina Ricci began to grab empty and half-full beer bottles and smash them against the Albert floor.
"Hey!" the bartender/bouncer exclaimed.
The Girl Who Looked Like Christina Ricci actually stopped for a moment and looked up.
Trying to supress a smile at the absurdity of the situation, the bartender declared "Once, it's a mistake. twice, you're pushing it. Three times, you're kicked out."
At which point The Girl Who Looked Like Christina Ricci adopted the most innocent look on her face and pointed at a group of girls leaving.
"Those people over there were doing it. Honest."
I shook my head and said to Evan,
"Man, That Girl Who Looks Like Christina Ricci is a really obnoxious drunk."
"No, you mean Christina Ricci is a really obnoxious drunk."
"What?"
"You see James over there? James who used to be in Banned From Atlantis?"
"Yeah?"
"You know he now works as a grip on movies now in Vancouver, right?"
"You don't mean..."
"Yep, they met on the set of one of her movies. When he decided to visit his family again, she decided to tag along."
At this point I look again at the Girl Who Didn't Just Look Like Christina Ricci But Was In Fact Christina Ricci, and felt a pang of disappointment. I didn't really have a crush on her, but her distinctive features combined with a wry demeanor and a taste for slightly-out-of-ordinary films raised her from "just a Hollywood Celebrity" to "Hey, this could be an interesting person to meet at a party"
As I looked at her, tottering around yelling obscenities at random, it occurred to me the gap between Fantasy and Reality was far greater than I had ever conceived.
Fortunately, I was dragged out of my reverie when Evan said "Good news,we're going upstairs to party with the Sexarinos."
Unfortunately, as much as I looked forward to the party, I knew what the price we had to pay for admission: we had to move the band's equipment.
Twenty minutes and several sore muscles later, Evan and I staggered up to the second floor suite where the party was taking place. We opened up the door to see that James & His Celebrity Girlfriend had not left the bar but decided to come on up too.
Evan, bless him, with no malice whatsoever, said some thing he was sure that our former child star had heard a million times:
"Hi Gang. Oh, Hi Wednesday."
"WHAT THE FUCK YOU CALL ME?" roared the girl who got her big break in the Addams Family Movies. Her sudden burst of anger at such a trivial remark stunned us long enough for her to take her beer and throw it at Evan's head. It whistled by his ear and shattered against the wall behind us. She started to get up to presumably pounce on Ev when James grabbed her around the waist and restrained her as she began to unleash a string at profanities at us. Once she was finished with the initial volley. The tension in the room subsided, and the party returned back to normal.
Well, as normal as it could be under the circumstances.
As much as I would like to say say I engaged in some amusing repartee with the Movie Star in question, I didn't. Mainly because what do you say to someone like that when they're in such a state? Instead, I talked with other people. We did have our attention brought back again and again to our special Celebrity Guest due to loud proclamations when ever somebody decided to ask her a question. Most were banal "what film are you doing next?" type queries. But one exchange was good enough for me to commit to memory.
"So Christina, what was it like working with John Waters?"
"JOHN WATERS IS A FUCKIN' PRICK!"
"Why So?"
"BECAUSE HE WOULDN'T DRINK WITH ME!"
I leave it to you, dear reader, to make up a punchline.
Eventually, it seemed to dawn on Ms. Ricci that the party was far mellower than she was expecting.
"I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE!"
All other conversations stopped, and our attention was focused upon her.
"I JUST WANT TO SAY FUCK YOU!" as she pointed to the left of her.
"FUCK YOU!" as she pointed to the right.
"AND ESPECIALLY FUCK YOU!" as she pointed right at Evan.
It was at this point James finally decided to take her home. The last we ever saw of her was slung over James's shoulder screaming "FUCK YOU ALL!" as she gave us all the finger.
She did not get what she assumed to be the last word. Another partygoer named Don bellowed out "NO! FUCK YOU, CHRISTINA RICCI!" at which point we heard a wordless scream of rage from the hallway that quickly vanished as she was carried downstairs.
That, as they say, was the end of that.
The rest of the night was understandably anti-climactic. I do have scar on my palm though, due to a combination of the shrapnel from the bottle thrown at Evan's head, and a straight-edge punk that tried to prove what a rebel he was by getting into a wrestling match with me. There's a part of me that dreams of becoming famous just so I can go to a Hollywood party and walk up to her, hold up my hand and say "This scar is ALL YOUR FAULT!"
Other people fantasize about having sex with celebrities. I fantasize about them summoning security to remove me from their presence.

Up to her own bitchy ways was...
Jane Krakowski , getting ultra-saucy with a Starbucks worker bee on a Sunday morning. Santa Monica and Robertson. Finely geared up in a black running getup, the former Ally McBeal vixen initially ordered an iced latte this 'n' that, but sour whines to the tune of it's just "not good" were heard from Ms. K, so she asked for them to please whip her up a "hot" mocha whatever--'cept she didn't say please. Uh, shall we all say it together now: "Snappish!" What's with all the high-maintenance 'tude in H-town? Wait, rewind--I'm not a bit surprised!

My fave: Those who survived Stone's admittedly demanding on-set ways (even Share-love herself has copped to these diva doings, but only on occasion) on Bob Evans' Sliver, in which Stone's horny character masturbates in a bathtub.
Apparently--so say those who were there--suds-side Ms. S. was so vocal about myriad doodads like water temperature that some of the set worker bees peed in the tub water while Sharon was on a break. Yuck! (Well, to most people...)

BONNIE'S INSTRUCTIVE TIRADES
Page Six
WITH friends like Lori Berger, Bonnie Fuller doesn't need anymore enemies. Berger, the entertainment director of Redbook and CosmoGirl!, wrote a letter in response to the scathing profile of Fuller in last month's Vanity Fair. "I worked for Bonnie Fuller . . . on and off for nearly 12 years," Berger says in a letter published in the May issue. "Although I was often confounded and astounded by her decision-making process and editorial sensibilities, rarely did a day go by when I didn't learn [from Fuller] . . . Bonnie may indeed be every editor's biggest nightmare, but if you have the desire to learn, the guts to put up with her, the inner strength to pick your battles, and the wisdom to listen closely to her editorial tirades and tantrums, it can be the most valuable editorial experience of a lifetime." Meanwhile, PAGE SIX hears Fuller has been courting television agents in hopes of launching a career as a producer and on-air personality. "It's a backup career if this thing with David Pecker and Star doesn't work out. She needs to support her family," said one source.

How about the Divas right to run off with someone elses husband and think it's OK for them? Julia Roberts took off with Danny Moder and treated his wife like she was toilet paper. AND Jennifer Lopez just took off with Marc Anthony and his wife just had a baby. Hollywood really is sin city.

The life of a waiter -- I tell you, if you aren't picking a celebrity up, you're being dissed by one. Such was the fate of the poor waiter who happened to catch a grumpy Quentin Tarantino, who served as this year's Cannes jury president, on a bad night. The filmmaker was at the Palais D'Orsay hotel relaxing at a party when he ordered "A glass of champagne, an orange juice and a glass of champagne -- in that order." The waiter misunderstood and brought back with just a champagne and orange juice, to which the director yelled, "I said I wanted champagne, orange juice and champagne. What's wrong with you man?" An onlooker tells the Daily Mirror that not only was QT rude, but he was being a prima donna. I'm truly shocked. Truly (OK, maybe not).

"Diva" Cattrall Upsets Charity Organizers

Sex And The City star Kim Cattrall has reportedly horrified charity event organizers with her "epic diva demands", writes Star magazine. The veteran actress - who destroyed plans for a movie version of the popular television sitcom with her excessive script and salary requests - refused to take part in the unnamed fund raiser unless she received suitable gifts and pampering. An insider tells the gossip publication, "She kept demanding one freebie after another. She insisted on all kinds of special treatment. We dealt with a lot bigger stars than her, but no one who made more out-of- control demands. I got the feeling even she realized some of her requests were way over the top."

DESIGNER GETS HOT OVER A HAT
Page Six
AGING fashion diva Liz Claiborne may be out of the clothes business, but she still knows how to throw a fit. When Claiborne arrived at Le Dock restaurant at Fair Harbor, on Fire Island, Sunday night, she was annoyed that her regular table was taken. "She kept sending people over to harass us," said one diner. "It's a casual restaurant, but Liz sent over two waiters to have them make one of the patrons seated there remove his baseball cap [with a Yankees logo]. Liz was incensed at what she thought was inappropriate attire ? at 'her' table." Two other people in the dining room were wearing hats, another man with a cap and a woman with an oversized straw hat, but Claiborne didn't bother them. "The wait staff was incredibly uncomfortable and apologized profusely for Liz's behavior, but it was ridiculous," scoffed the put-upon customer.

Sally Field - cheapskate
I use to bag groceries at an upscale market.She was very
quiet and seemed like a deep thinker.I had bagged her
groceries about 10 times.I'd bring several groceries to
her car-and she would never give me a tip.I told that story
to a checker at the market..she told me that sally wouldn't
tip her many years before when she the checker was a bagger
herself.My nicest customer was Demi Moore-though I never
brought her groceries to her car.Years later I read an
article in PEOPLE Magazine a story titled "The Cheapest
Stars".Sally ofcourse was on the List.
