Attitude Bruce Willis What do you think of that

No Means No

In 2002 some people hadn’t learned about approaching some celebrities…
Too much caffeine? Bruce Willis walked out of a Coffee Bean in Westwood and a young woman ran up and asked if she could take a picture with him. He said no as he walked to his waiting car. The gal whined “Please! Just one quick picture!”
Bruce snapped “What don’t you understand about the word NO!”
The woman was taken aback “I always thought you were so NICE!”
Bruce put his face up to hers and hissed “I’m not here to entertain you – put your damn camera away.” With that, he got in his car and left.

Attitude Faye Dunaway

FINGER SNAPPER

When the employees at Whole Foods in West Hollywod see Faye Dunaway walk in the door they “scatter like cockroaches” one of them told us. Nobody wants to wait on her. Faye is VERY demanding -especially at the deli case. Here’s an example: When a server waiting on her was wrapping up an item he turned to another employee to tell him something and Faye ferociously snapped her FINGERS in the air scolding “I NEED YOUR FULL ATTENTION!” She asked her deli person for a pound of turkey breast. Sliced medium. After all the meat was cut she examined it and frowned “NO – that’s too THICK ” and wouldn’t buy it! THAT”S why the help runs for cover.

Anna Nicole Smith Attitude Crimes and Misdemeanors What do you think of that

Punch Drunk

In 1998, the gorgeous Anna Nicole was provocatively seated in the lobby drinking glass after glass of champagne when she started “harrassing” a Middle Eastern man. According to a witness, she loudly taunted him with lewd remarks – the least of which was “C’mere baby and gimme some lovin’.”
Other hotel guests complained about her behavior and the bartender cut her off. THAT made her furious and she stormed out to get her car. The valet offered her a limo and suggested she shouldn’t drive. Irate Anna threw a tantrum and the bellman rushed over to calm her. She punched him in the nose. Hotel security had to wrestle her face first into the mud to get her under control until cops came, cuffed her, and took her away!

There'll Always Be Paris

The headlines today may feature Paris Hilton’s DUI, but in April of this year here’s what we were saying:

Paris Hilton is spinning out of control: She’s recklessly throwing herself at men and smooching guys in public. She was once a polite well mannered girl but now she’s arrogant, loud, and demanding. She’s always reminding people “Do you know who I AM?” when she butts to the front of bathroom lines. She’s greedier than ever about freebies. Promoters wince when they see her coming. She dumped the once beloved Tinkerbell with her parents. He was cast off like last week’s handbag. She’s got plenty of money but can’t get her boyfriend Niarchos to marry her – or anyone else so far. She showed up at Hef’s recent birthday party in an absurd tastelessly skimpy outfit and onlookers whispered that her body looked bad- out of shape, bumpy, in need of the gym. She’s partying more than ever till all hours. Is she headed for rehab?

Attitude Daryl Hannah Quentin Tarantino What do you think of that

Hot and Cold

While Quentin Tarantino is cooling off in Iceland whenever he has the chance, in 2003 Daryl Hannah’s new romance had already hit a snag!
She had been keeping company with her temperamental Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino and they had a movie date at an upscale Hollywood theater. After they bought tickets the pair dawdled in the lobby cafe and tried to enter the movie ten minutes after it started. The usher refused – theater policy is no admittance after the film begins. Quentin had a hissy fit and when the usher wouldn’t budge he demanded the manager. Daryl looked embarrassed and uncomfortable while Quentin yelled at the manager about unfair rules. The manager politely acknowledged Tarantino but stood by the no entry policy. Quentin pulled wide-eyed Daryl by the hand and stalked out yelling “When my new movie Kill Bill comes out – IT”S NOT PLAYING HERE!

Attitude Tommy Lee

TOMMY LEE: DON’T BOTHER HIM

Supernova drummer Tommy Lee was catching a smoke, sitting outside an airline building at the Burbank airport deep in conversation with a pretty young girlfriend and his pushy assistant. A steady stream of people came outside to light up and each time the protective assistant jumped up and blocked Tommy, presumptuously waving the outsiders away, insisting “No autographs!” The smokers were irked and finally after a number of them had been shooed away from Tommy, one informed the overzealous assistant “Excuse me but this is the airport employees smoking area – we come here to SMOKE, not to get anybody’s autograph!” and Tommy’s assistant FINALLY shut up. Is Rockstar Supernova giving the usually down-to-earth rocker a big head?

Andy Dick Attitude

ONE STEP CLOSER TO REHAB

Yuppie looking Andy Dick invaded Tiny’s K.O. – a punk rock dive bar on Hollywood Blvd., and his behavior was decidedly WEST Hollywood. Fortified by many substances, Andy proceeded to squeal “Oh, you’re SOOO cute! Wanna drink?” and he bought drinks for anyone who looked at him. Boozed up Andy hit on the skinheads, mohawked rockers, and a few girls. Incredibly, he started groping and tryng to KISS the fiercely tattooed skinheads. One roared “There’s not enough booze in the world to make me kiss YOU! – grab me again and I’ll WHACK you” Andy chirped “I LOVE to get hit!” Randy Andy topped off his rampage by giving unwanted lapdances to outraged rockers. Nobody got seriously mad because Andy WAS paying for all the drinks. When he collected his credit card before leaving, Andy announced “I’m coming back to BUY this bar!”

Attitude Burt Reynolds What do you think of that

Monkey Makes Him Mad

An amusing confrontation in 2003: Burt Reynolds lost his temper at a wisecracking monkey puppet at the Atlanta film Festival and lunged at and choked the offending Phineas J Monkey. Reynolds was being honored at the event and the monkey (operated by Lucky Yates) was co-master of ceremonies. Burt was appalled by jokes the simian made about the intelligence of actors Brad Pitt and Keanu Reeves. “Some day Brat Pitt might want to make a movie in this town” the volatile actor declared, before he grabbed the puppet by the neck, grimaced and squeezed. He stopped short of ripping off the puppet’s head and got an apology – not from the monkey – from the festival organizers.

THIS DEVIL WEARS PRADA TOO

We LAUGHED at the scene in The Devil Wears Prada where Meryl Streep’s character Miranda is about to arrive at the office and it’s like a presidential high security maneuver. People are stationed on cell phones reporting her exact location minute by minute so the foam on her cappucino will be fluffy. It seemed ridiculous until we were told that absurd countdown is repeated every day for Viacom exec Les Moonves! “His car is two minutes away – butter his bagel!” An intruder into his inner sanctum told us that it takes at least eight people stationed everywhere to coordinate his arrivals. Each person is connected by phone – someone is at every door to open it and confirm progress, as the countdown to his walking in the office door proceeds. “Everybody is nervous – adjusting the room temperature and fretting over whether the shades should be up higher. It’s overkill and it’s WORSE than Prada!”

Attitude Nicole Kidman What do you think of that

Picking Up The Tempo

This bit from 1998 (and we’re told it’s still true for Tom!): Builders working at Tom Cruise’s LA house have never seen him because they are not allowed to look at the actor or his wife Nicole Kidman. When Tom and Nicole are guided through the construction by the contractor, all the workers must face the wall. And someone walks behind the Cruises just to make sure no one peeks!
