GLEE’S LAUREN POTTER DOESN’T LOOK OLD ENOUGH TO DRINK – BUT SHE IS, AND SHE DOES

People with intellectual disabilities are making huge strides on TV- and one is even becoming a prima donna! Lauren Potter, 23, who plays Becky Jackson on “Glee,” has Down syndrome but that doesn’t stop her from being pushy and unpleasant on the set. More than one castmember says she is the LEAST likeable of all the actors – she can be selfish and downright rude. At one point she told producers she wanted a cute boyfriend – Cory Monteith – on the show, and sulked when she didn’t get her way. On a recent airline flight the youthful looking Lauren was heard yelling at a female flight attendant “I’m 23 f****** years old and I want a drink NOW!! After she got her beverage, our source says she flirted with male passengers and stewards.
