HOLLYWOOD ACTORS--who is the nastiest person acting in Hollywood?

Inspired by the Broadway Actors thread.\ \ We all know about Christian Bale screaming at his mother and sister and the tech guy.\ \ We all know about Russell Crowe beating guys up in bars and threatening to beat up the head of BAFTA for not letting him finish his poem on live TV.\ \ Who else?

• Rumor has it, I raped Natalie Wood. Speaking of "rumor" that Rumer Willis is pretty nasty looking, so I''ll vote for her.

  Kirk Douglas

• Yes, Issur, you''ll do nicely. The fact that she was fifteen years old at the time and you probably could have easily talked her into doing it willingly, plus the fact that you left her hysterical with vaginal lacerations are just the icing on the shitcake of your actions.

• Anyone know how or where the Kirk Douglas rumour originated? I''d love the dish!\ \ TIA

• Oprah Winfrey. She has God like power and is not afraid to use it, if you displease her.

• Kristen Stewart %0D\ %0D\ Treats the crew like her servants and thinks she''s too important to talk to other cast members.

  Ruth

• How to you know that R5? I know that she''s typically surly and rude on the red carpet and to fans and press but I didn''t know she was a bitch to cast and crew as well. What a sweetheart.\ \ Julia Roberts is a known bitch\ \ Lea Michelle seems awful\ \ Reese Witherspoon is loathed by directors who have worked with her.

• Even the journalists who came to the Twilight set of the first film noticed it. She barely or not at all speaks to other cast members. She thinks she is too good for them and is convinced she is an artist. No kidding.

  Ruth

• The nastiest people in Hollywood are rarely actors

  Harvey W

• quote]She thinks she is too good for them and is convinced she is an artist. No kidding.\ \ Oh that is funny. That wooden, monotone, twitchy thing she does on screen is what she calls ''art''? What a bitch. And an untalented one at that. Let''s see how far her career goes with that attitude.[

• Reese Witherspoon\ \ THREAD CLOSED!

• Maggie Gyllenhaal--unless, of course, you''re someone she can use.

• [quote] I''d love the dish!%0D\ %0D\ I fucking hate the expression "dish". Is it the same poster that uses it over and over?

• [quote]Julia Roberts is a known bitch%0D\ %0D\ Julia''s brother is by far worst. He sounds like a bonafine sadistic psychopath.

• Mel Gibson obviously. Unless you are talking to Jodie Foster.

• Both Maggie and that creep husband of hers are total assholes and incredibly difficult to work with.\ \ Liam Neeson hated Saarsgard when they did KINSEY together. Barely spoke offscreen because Peter''s a douchebag to everybody.

• I heard firsthand stories about M. Gyllenhaal from two different people who worked with her. She''s awful to work with.

• With that fugly face Maggie G. should be lucky she''s found work at all. She and her nose-jobbed brother, Jake, wouldn''t be working at all if weren''t for nepotism.

• Meryl Streep is reputed to be nice and kind to her crew, but it always feels forced and unnatural, much like her acting.

  Kate Hepburn

• LOL @ the Twilight stans invading this thread. Kristen Stewart just has wicked anxiety, that''s all.

• I''ve heard from many places Emile Hirsch is an asshole. As is Shia LaBeouf.

• R13, don''t you mean bonified?

• Faye Dunaway. Someone once posted a rant she spewed on her managers answering machine. Wow.

• I''d say Mel Gibson is the obvious candidate, OP. Although he isn''t acting much these days.

• [quote]plus the fact that you left her hysterical with vaginal lacerations...\ \ From his chin?

• Till she died last year - \ \ GLORIA STUART!

• Can''t believe no one''s mentioned Charlie Sheen yet. \ \ The people who say Maggie Gyllenhaal, any specific gossip?

• Jake Gyllenhaal threw a hissy-fit when they wouldn''t kick another guest out of a Toronto hotel room, during the Film Fesitval, so Jake could have his favorite room. They offered him another room, but Jake still got pissed off because he thought he was so famous and important.

• The Twilight chick just seems brutally insecure about herself.%0D\ %0D\ I dont see animus.

• If true, R27, then that act outed him more than any Toothy Tile rumor or a hundred thousand US Weekly staged photo ops of him with his barbe du jour could ever do. That just screams "pissy difficult queen".

• If his parents weren''t rich and important in show biz, Jake wouldn''t have had that nose job and could be selling shoes at Nordstrom''s now.%0D\ %0D\ Doesn''t he realize he only got where he is because of nepotism and show a little humility and appreciation?%0D\ %0D\ He''s a dime a dozen. Nothing special.

• Apparently the up and comer Alex Pettyfer is a nasty person to work with Here's some of the comments from the Nikkie fink website.: "This %E2%80%9Ckid%E2%80%9D is one of the most arrogant, narcissistic, individuals I had the displeasure to meet. Zucker/Ovitz rule apply." "Yeah I%E2%80%99ve met him too %E2%80%94 NOT a cool guy %E2%80%94 pretty arrogant and angry and unmannered. But I%E2%80%99m sure he%E2%80%99s polite as fuck to Steven and Stacy." "Again like Lautner, studios investing in a young guy who%E2%80%99s totally unproven as a bankable star and isn%E2%80%99t that great at acting yet, if ever. So odd. Cultivate stars yes but don%E2%80%99t force them into being. Though at least Lautner seems like a fairly grateful kid, where as Pettyfer is a notorious tool." "Too bad he%E2%80%99s a jerk to his %E2%80%9Cgirlfriend%E2%80%9D, co workers, & service staff. Nice going. Can%E2%80%99t wait for his career to end. #notsoonenough" "Why is Dreamworks wasting money on a movie about a race car driver that majority of people do not know and have never heard of. Or wasting money trying to promote the career of Pettyfer who is truly a nasty piece of work. Not to mention he does not know how to act."

• Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston managed to outbitch Reese Witherspoon. They were allegedly hated by everyone working on "Friends"

• bump

• R26, Entertainment Lawyer revealed in 2009 that this blind item was about Maggie G: "I was going to call this a jackass post, but in reality it is just typical celebrity behavior and so although jackass-ish, probably not full on qualifying for it. You decide. This movie actress is B list for sure. All of you know who she is. Mainstream popcorn movie leads and art house leads as well. I would say our married mother has A list name recognition. Anyway, our actress bought a hat. Not some cheap Avril Lavigne looking trucker hat, but a hat which actually costs money. Serious money. I think we should all be shocked that she actually paid for the hat in the first place. Well, for three months straight she wore that hat everywhere she went. Then after three months she went to the store and told them she didn't like it and wanted a full refund of her money. This was even though it had makeup on it, had her hair plastered in it and was obviously well worn. Even though the designer of the hats would have loved her endorsement he told her to take a hike. Nice." (The designer is Santino Fonzarelli)

• "Kristen Stewart Treats the crew like her servants and thinks she's too important to talk to other cast members." She seems as if it's such a huge strain to be interviewed, like she's 90 years old and soooooo exhausted. Every TV interview is the same: the host is literally trying to get her to say something. When she was on "Live with Regis & Kelly", Kelly had to literally pull answers out of this incredibly overrated 'actress'. I truly don't get what passes for talent these days. She seemed like a somnambulis in the two Twilight films I saw. The girl acts as if she's severely anemic, to tired to utter too much. On 'Regis & Kelly' Kristen Stewart was in a very short dress and very high heels, she looked totally awkward and uncomfortable in that get up. Every time Reege or Kelly attempted to praise her work, she barely smiled, let alone gave answers beyond "Yeah". This is a young woman who is either totally clueless about how lucky she is OR she simply believes she IS so talented and above it all, she doesn't have to promote her films.

• Maggie "Saggie" G is only going to get uglier as time goes on. Tee hee.

• Josh Duhamel is a major asshole.

• Here''s Faye Dunaway''s crazy message. The time stamp is 6:15am, so you know she''d been up all night fuming.

  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RIxgeDSRRM

• Details, R37?

• R38, thank you for posting the Faye Tirade!\ \ I swear to God, she sounds just like my Aunt, except my Aunt isn''t famous, but the urgency and sense of entitlement and importance is EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME!\ \ And that just made my day.

  By The Way, Aunt Whoosit Was a Looker at One Time

• I''ve worked in TV for a long time, so I must have a high threshold for crazy. (I''ve been screamed at by the best.) But honestly, I didn''t have a problem with Faye''s message. No, she didn''t sugarcoat anything. But it''s her career and her image. She''s paying these people to promote her, and she has the right to assert her opinions.

• [quote]She seemed like a somnambulis in the two Twilight films I saw. The girl acts as if she''s severely anemic, to tired to utter too much.%0D\ %0D\ I''ve never seen her Twilight movies but she was pretty good in the Runaways. My son was watching a movie one day called Vampires Suck, which sucked, but it was a take off on the Twilight series and the actress playing the Kristen Stewart role was the same way and my son laughed and said she had it down straight. Teen angst and long, smoldering gazes, but no sex, and mumbled lines.

• [quote]Zucker/Ovitz rule apply.\ \ What does this mean, R31? That Pettyfer is even worse than Zucker and Ovitz?

• Willow Smith. \ \ You know that spoiled kid from the Willi Wonka movie? ...........Willow Smith beats that.

• bump

• [quote]But honestly, I didn''t have a problem with Faye''s message. No, she didn''t sugarcoat anything. But it''s her career and her image. She''s paying these people to promote her, and she has the right to assert her opinions.\ \ I agree. It''s not like she was personally insulting anyone or sounding unhinged. She was just being assertive and stressing out her position.

• She''s hardly an actor any more, but I was around Whitney Houston during the "Bodyguard" days and could not believe one person could be so rude and nasty -- like mentally ill nasty.

• Though Mel Gibson is CLEARLY bipolar, he isn''t nasty on set. I know a few people who have worked with him/for him on movies and they''ve all said he is down to earth, doesn''t jump to the head of the lunch line and makes a point of remembering everyone''s name. \ \ Jennifer Anniston is loved. Not a bitch at all. This I know 1st hand. \ \ I''ve heard nasty things about Reese Witherspoon, Julia Roberts and basically the whole cast of Gossip Girl.

  key make-up person''s brother

• [quote]basically the whole cast of Gossip Girl\ \ Details, please, R48?

• Have posted this before: Bette Midler was known by the crew of "The Stepford Wives" as THE CANCER.

  was there

• Things Faye Likes: POSITIVE things, Kusturica, BRANDO and DEPP. \ \ Things Faye Doesn''t Like: Andrew Lloyd Webber, that "Mommie Dearest" thing, lay about ex husbands.

• Mira Sorvino was crazy mean.

• Arizona Dream is a really good movie.

• Ben Stiller. Asshole.

• Charlie Sheen is a drunk and a drug addict, but he''s not nasty or difficult to work with.%0D\ %0D\ Linda Fiorentino is such a raging bitch that her career imploded because she was blacklisted for her on set behavior. Kevin Smith''s audio commentary on Dogma had to be censored because of a fear from the studio that she would sue over some of his comments about what a cunt she was to work with. Barry Sonenfeld (not exactly a nice guy, either) refused to work with her on Men in Black II.%0D\ %0D

• [r54] Yes! A screenwriter friend of mine used to do Stiller re-write work and told many stories. One of my favorites was how he would refer to himself in third person as if he really were a "brand", i.e. "this is not a Ben Stiller type project", "does this conform to the Ben Stiller image?" while everyone else in the room tried not to bust out laughing. And this on projects like Zoolander. Pompous ass.

• I''ve heard Aniston is very nice as well. Courtney Cox on the other hand......

• "She''s hardly an actor any more, but I was around Whitney Houston during the "Bodyguard" days and could not believe one person could be so rude and nasty -- like mentally ill nasty."\ \ Could have been the coke and/or crack talking.

• Maggie Gyllenhaal%E2%80%99s is ugly! Yikes! This girl actually found a guy who married her? Her mother looks like a dike. She did a movie with actor Aaron Eckhart. Is he gay? He is a beautiful, handsome man! Wow! R1, Natalie Wood's sister, Lana Wood, said she will reveal the bastard who raped her sister when the guy dies. I asked Suiselee if she knew anything about Natalie Wood getting raped by an actor? She said she never heard that???? That one shocked me. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, and I worked with this lady whose father worked in the entertainment industry. She wouldn%E2%80%99t tell me who her father was. She said, Bing Crosby called her father once, and said I'm going to come to San Francisco, and I want a woman in my hotel room when I get there. Bing Crosby said, I don't care if she is fat, ugly, whatever! Just make sure there is A WOMAN in that room ready to have sex with me. This lady I worked with thought Bing Crosby was nothing but a male whore. Bing Crosby's widowed wife, Kathryn Grant Crosby lives up here in Northern California in the mega exclusive Hillsborough. I have heard from various people who have said she is plain evil and extremely vile. I have heard many horrible Martha Stewart stories from various people. Here are some of what I have heard. I worked with this lady who used to work for Macy's in San Francisco once. She said, Martha Stewart came to do a book singing, and this lady%E2%80%99s boss was in charge of everything. She said Martha Stewart would say to the guy, my water isn%E2%80%99t could enough! Do you want me to tell your manager and get you fired?! Change my water this instant! Martha made the guy run around pouring in sweat, and at the end of the day he was extremely sick to his stomach and kept throwing up. I worked with this one guy whose friend worked with her, and he said she was a major bitch. Another guy I worked with knew someone who worked with her, and he said when here daughter was getting married, Martha wanted the wedding reception on her property in the Hamptons. She spent a huge amount of money transporting these hedges to be planted in back of the property creating a topiary maze wonderland. When her daughter got married elsewhere, Martha was so mad that she took her anger out on these beautiful hedges. She took a chain saw and hacked away like a mad woman. She must have learned this tip from the Mommie Dearest guide 101.

• Somehow this\ \ "On ''Regis & Kelly'' Kristen Stewart was in a very short dress and very high heels, she looked totally awkward and uncomfortable in that get up."\ \ doesn''t make me think this:\ \ "This is a young woman who is either totally clueless about how lucky she is OR she simply believes she IS so talented and above it all, she doesn''t have to promote her films."\ \ Everything in your post reads to me like she''s introverted and unhappy. Maybe clueless too, but not "above it all."

• Tim fucking Robbins. Love his politics, HATE him. Trust me. I''ve posted about him before.

• I also like Susan Sarandon''s politics. However she is always pulling, "Do you know who I am"? I witnessed this when I was a student at NYU working in the nearby City Bakery -- which is near her apartment.

• Faye Dunaway sounded pretty tame by any standards, much less hollywood standards.

• [quote]This is a young woman who is either totally clueless about how lucky she is OR she simply believes she IS so talented and above it all, she doesn''t have to promote her films.%0D\ %0D\ She sounds depressed.

• "If true, [R27], then that act outed him more than any Toothy Tile rumor or a hundred thousand US Weekly staged photo ops of him with his barbe du jour could ever do. That just screams "pissy difficult queen"."\ \ And your posts outs you as a homophobic bastard. As if straight men can''t be pissy about petty shit!

• Natalie Wood didn''t keep it a secret that Kirk Douglas had raped her. Right after it happened she went to her friend Dennis Hopper in hysterics and told him. But there wasn''t anything else she could do about it. If she''d tried to press charges it would not only have meant the end of her career (which her maniacal stage mother would never have tolerated) but since there was no such thing as rape kits or DNA testing it was just the word of a teenage starlet who may or may not have been a virgin against an A-list movie star. Any lawyer or policeman at the time would have told her she''d be better off to just go to a doctor and have her wounds stitched up, maybe get tested for STDs and try to forget about it.

• [quote]Arizona Dream is a really good movie.\ \ Agree. And it''s another title Netflix doesn''t have.

• [quote]Agree. And it''s another title Netflix doesn''t have.\ \ They don''t have "Barfly" either, which is one more great indie flick that Dunaway did with Mickey Rourke. Netflix needs to get their shit together! \ \ Does anyone know if Faye is still friends with Johnny Depp? I know they were very close for a long time.

• "Barfly" is a terribly amateurish, and dreary movie. It looks and feels cheap too.

• OhNoTheyDidnt posters say that Halle Berry is horrible.%0D %0D "Gurl, I worked with MANY celebs and she TOPS the list by far as far as rude celebrities go. Not even Jessica Alba managed to beat Halle's inner cuntbagel. FUUU"%0D %0D "Tbh this was at the beginning of my ~career~ in the film industry (which I've given up a couple of years ago to study). I was working on Catwoman for a week. It was seriously a NIGHTMARE. I played a dancer in the movie (more like a ~special snowflake~ extra) but I also assisted on set. So we were filming this scene in a club in downtown Vancouver and everyone basically had to dance, sure there were lots of people. Halle's scene was basically she walks over to the bar and asks for a russian martini or something like that. Anyway, I heard her having fits here and there but I didn't think much of it till she stepped on my shoe (I had to stand on a spot marked X by the director and I was told not to move) she turned around and yelled "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING? MOVE THE HELL OUT OF MY WAY. WHO THE HELL PUT HER HERE?" Honestly, all I did was stand there and one of the assistants was measuring how far the camera was from where I was standing. I didn't do or say shit. %0D %0D Then later I happened to look at her for a bloody second and she asked some dude to tell me to "stop starring at her". ugh wtf whatever..."%0D %0D %0D Another poster%0D %0D "A friend of mine worked on X-Men 3 as a camera operator and he would come into my work (cause I met him at my work) and tell me what a goddamn bitch Halle was. %0D Nothing but problems with her - he said the movie was a disaster due to her ego (she allegedly kept pushing for a bigger role in the movie than what was originally written) and that she was verbally abusive to the crew. He said he didn't care how much it would pay, he'd never work on any of her movies ever again."

• bump\ \ more please

• r67, Arizona Dream for you:

  http://ipb.quicksilverscreen.com/index.php?showtopic=139172

• Chloe Sevigny.\ \ Huge cunt!

• Katherine Heigl\ \ Couturier Cox Arquette\ \ Bruce Willis

• Tommy Lee Jones is an ass.

• Alex Pettyfer is getting bad press -

  http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/blogs/heat-vision/drama-surrounds-i-number-star-97582

• Alex Pettyfer is bipolar? His behavior is strange.

• A lot of posters on Deadline were trashing Pettyfair as well a few weeks back when that movie about the racing driver no-one outside of the UK gives a stuff about was announced. He''s going to have the shortest career in Hollywood if his first films don''t do add bank.

• R61\ \ I''ve heard that Tim Robbins is the biggest, whiniest pussy around.

• R63, that''s just the tip of the Faye iceberg, trust me. \ \ She would blow up in a ridiculous rage, then a minute later turn on a dime and be noxiously sweet as pie. Scary, scary woman.\ \ I say that and I''ve worked with Mel "Everybody shut up and fucking listen to me!!!" Gibson and thought he was nice.

  Do! Not! Want!

• r76,I guess the people who commented in the Nikki Finke/deadline.com site about Alex Pettyfer were right all along..\ \ They have been saying he''s a nasty piece of work for months now.

• \ Mark Wahlberg\ he hasnt really changed much since his Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch days.\ \ Even though he doesnt drink and party like back in the day- his homophobic ways havent changed.\ \ Yes sure everyone praises him because he gives money to charity, is a catholic married with kids man.\ He has a major disdain for make-up artists and hairstylist especially if they are male.\ \ Fuck you and the Fighter Marky Mark!

  less is more

• The Faye thing - hardly a tirade. It''s a business call, she''s not degrading anyone, and she''s simply telling her manager how to market a product. It so happens that product is herself, so it makes her sound self-centered.

• "a catholic married with kids man"\ \ Yes, a good Catholic who got his wife knocked up several times before he married her.

• About Kirsten Stewart - I think it''s possible that her shyness is percieved as nastiness. She seems very shy, introverted, awkward, but it doesn''t mean she is nasty. I personally find those qualities in public figures extremely fascinating. She seems real person, not some PR trained doll, like some of the young actresses.

• What about the actors and actresses who worked on NUMB3RS?

• I notice from Pettyfer articles linked that Pettyfer and Lautner share an agent and a sugardaddy/producer (Jackman''s ex, Palermo). Lautner just has better pr, since they made the press about his diva tantrums disappear.

• [R85] Shy people generally do not: \ \ stand on a balcony with a cigarette hanging from their lips so both hands are free to flip the bird \ \ call the fans who gave you fame "retards" \ \ pose in a photo shoot flipping off the camera \ \ wear skin-tight and way-short skirts \ \ whine that her stripping/lap-dancing scenes were cut from the film WTTR \ \ wear a t-shirt with "get off my dick" emblazoned on the back\ \ be openly photographed kissing women \ \ on and on...

  rain

• I can''t stand Mark Walberg. If that is how he feels about the makeup artists and hairstylists then he is in the wrong business. Hollywood and the entertainment business from day one have had a lot of gays working in that industry.

• What did Mark do to these people?\ \ Maybe he really is deeply closeted.

• r85, I don''t know much about anyone else, but Rob Morrow is a huge asshole. He was such a prick on \ his latest show (the one that sank quickly) that they almost fired him (and the rumor was that he was the real reason Joely Richardson left after doing the pilot). \ \ A nasty piece of work, and now it''s biting him in the ass.

• [quote]Kathryn Grant Crosby lives up here in Northern California in the mega exclusive Hillsborough. I have heard from various people who have said she is plain evil and extremely vile. \ \ \ No. That''s not true about Kathryn at all. She''s a little ... loony, given. Not in an evil crazy way, kind of in a harmless bag lady kind of way. And she is fierce in her protection of Bing''s image and estate, even though at one point it put her on the opposite legal side from her children. But she''s really a gracious and kind lady.\ \ She''s also now recuperating from a horrible car accident that nearly killed her - and did kill her second husband - this past November.

• Some of the things being said about Pettyfer and his behavior toward women is disturbing (to put it nicely).

• [quote] Lautner just has better pr, since they made the press about his diva tantrums disappear.%0D\ %0D\ Dish, please.

• I''m surprised about the Halle Berry stories. On the episode of Punk''d where she was refused entrance to her own premiere, she had every reason to throw a hissy fit but seemed nothing but calm and bemused.

• R95, she knew that there was a lot of media covering the event.

• R92, I''m sorry to hear that about her. However, about her not being nasty your highly wrong. I have known many people that new her and that have waited on her and she is a mega bitch. Maybe she has changed with age, but I stand by my claim 100%.

• Also, Katharyn Crosby''s daughter is a major demon seed.

• R88\ \ Are you serious? You sound like such a prude. OMG she wears short skirts, she is nasty whore. Only thing on your list I don''t like is calling fans retards (if she actually did it). And being pictured kissing woman is sign os nastyness? Really?\ I don''t even like this girl, but you sound ridiculous.

• R94, He got a lot of bad press this summer after suing a company for "emotional distress, annoyance and displeasure" after having to RENT an RV because his "tricked out" one wasn''t up to his specs. He was shamed into dropping it. There was also gossip about some "don''t you know who I am" type of behavior to waitstaff in various places.

• Dame Helen Mirren is classy and swell except when she drinks. Then she keeps flashing her giant boobs and asking who wants to sit on Her Majesty''s Throne.

  Nicolas Cage

• "What did Mark do to these people?"%0D\ %0D\ Nothing. A lot of queens assume any man who doesn''t cheese in their faces is a "massive homophobe!" and start screeching about his bigotry.%0D\ %0D

• I nominate the Scientologists and Tom Cruise. Much better to have to dodge a telephone than to be the subject of organized intimidation.

• For some reason, I''m really surprised about Halle Berry.

• I eat old people''s excrement.

  R102

• r100, I remember reading the complaint and there was nothing out of ordinary. His father was the named plaintiff so maybe Taylor wasn''t that much involved (he was a minor in legal sense so he couldn''t enter into a contract without a superintendent). \ It is common to allege emotional distress to beef up the damage as consequential to the direct damage caused by contract violation. I have seen much more ridiculous claims than that. \ \ All I keep hearing was how gracious and hardworking Taylor is. I hope this board and other gossip sites back off a bit on his sexuality. He may well be gay but so are a lot of actor who are full of lies. Endless speculation will only push him back to the closet, and he has little control over what his parents and agents order him to do. He seems like a happy and caring kid and I don''t want to see him turning into Tom Cruise 10 years down the road.

• Taylor Momson is a bratty ill-dressed CUNT!

  Tim Gunn

• Regarding Kristen Stewart: There are MANY stories of her being a complete cunt to fellow actors and crew. Not many have very nice things to say about her. She's openly dismissive of her fans (even if they are batshit). She compared being photographed by the paps to being raped (she always likes to play the victim). During an Elle interview she refused to enter a restaurant and made the writer go fetch her food because she thought she would get recognized, {while said restaurant only had 3 people total inside), One of the actors she auditioned with for Twilight said she was extremely dismissive and refused to speak to him. He ended up talking about the part with the director instead. She gave the finger to the paps while on a boat cruise in Australia when the reason they were following her is because she was on a PR trip promoting Eclipse. It wasn't her own personal vacation. She openly started texting while at a press conference for The Runaways. Apparently some fan was at a bar with her and she was sitting on her friend's purse/jacket. When they asked Kristen to get up, she was rude and hid her face. She refused to take any pictures with the crew of On the Road and hid herself in her trailer. I don't think shyness is her problem. I think she's probably had her ass kissed her entire life and she smugly thinks she's so 'talented' and 'edgy' she can be dismissive and rude to people.

• bump

• Did any of the many posts regarding Kristin Stewart mention that she''s a DRUGGIE?! She was photographed with a pipe on her porch.

• Gene Hackman, although old now, doesn''t work as much as he could due to his horrendous temper. He''s also generally bitchy to people around him.\ \ His career pretty much fizzled out because of it; he''s a great character actor, but apparently not worth the hassle.

• Yeah, nastiest people in Hollywood were always Scott Rudin, Joel Silver, David Geffen...cheapest, George Lucas.

• Alex Pettyfer, without question.

• Alot of teen girls can''t help acting like spoild, self centered, bitches, Kristen is probably just following the trend.

• A friend of mine worked on a Nicholas Cage film and said Cage belongs in a mental hospital. Totally fucking crazy.

• [quote]Alot of teen girls can''t help acting like spoild, self centered, bitches, Kristen is probably just following the trend.\ \ Kristen Stewart is in her 20''s. Too old to be acting like a stupid teen.\ \ Doesn''t surprise me about Nic Cage. He sounds insane. Wonder what the other Coppolas think about him.

• I always wondered if Sharon Stone lost her career because she was so demanding and unreasonable?

• He has no charisma or likability whatsoever, R115. Complete lack of appeal.

• I think Nic is kind of nuts...doesn''t it run in the family?

• Reese Witherspoon seems nasty and mean.

• r112, why do you put Geffen in that group? Details?\ \ I thought he was in the HW school of fucking people over, but he wasn''t nearly as personally vile as Silver or Rudin (although Rudin has good taste for an exec).

• R54 R56 Friends who worked on Tropic Thunder said that Stiller made it into a job from hell. He was on a major paranoid-diva trip with serious anger issues.\ I worked on a show with his mom, and she''s a trip, a real potty-mouth, though his dad is cool.\ The cast of Tropic Thunder, when doing their press junket, would avoid answering questions about Stiller. One cast member, I don''t remember which, when asked by a reporter about Stiller''s on-set behavior simply said that Stiller "has his own unique style" and let it drop.\ \ When I was young, I used to hang out with some of Bing Crosby''s grandkids. They all hated him. They were quite open about saying that their grandfather Bing was a lowlife asshole.\ For decades he was seen by the public as a male "America''s Sweetheart", yet it seems that those who knew him have nothing pleasant to say about him. He must have had a GREAT press agent!

• Thanks, R122\ \ Any Robert Downey stories?

• Errol Flynn = cruel, sociopathic, wore a mask of gallantry. Maurice Chevalier = evidently a surly grouse when the cameras weren't rolling. Yul Brynner = Nasty overblown ego. All about Yul ALL the time.

• Annie Meara's a doll. Jerry vague.

• I think we should lighten up a bit on all of these people. They BANK for Hollywood, and not every good worker is going to be the life of the party, or even nice. SO much else could be going on in all these situations, or maybe they really are just rotten. Even if they are, so what?

• Not an actor, but Katy Perry is a total asshole. Treats anyone below the line like garbage. I have 2 friends that worked with her separately (grip and makeup) and hate her with the white hot heat of a thousand suns.

• R128 I'm not surprised one bit. I could always see through her bullshit. I don't know why anyone like the bitch, but gays are stupid and like bitchy female singers for some reason.

• I've always gotten a bitch vibe from Katy Perry, so that's not surprising to hear. She seems beyond fake and full of herself. I will enjoy the demise of her career.

• [quote]She seems beyond fake and full of herself. I will enjoy the demise of her career. You and me both.

• Kristen Stewart Treats the crew like her servants and thinks she's too important to talk to other cast members. She did an interview (I think for Elle) where Stewart actually asked the writer to go into a restaurant and get her food while she waited outside, because she was too famous to go in and get it herself and she didn't want to be recognized. The restaurant was practically empty....

• Billy Bob Thornton. Has anyone seen any of his interviews? He is a crusty mean ol man with some serious issues.

• " I don't know why anyone like the bitch, but gays are stupid and like bitchy female singers for some reason." Then perhaps said stupid guys should peruse this old article about their idol's behavior...at a gay event:

• R32 & R57 I've heard from gossip here and other spots that on her own Jen is basically fine but she tends to befriend bitchy women and her personality changes. There was a thread here a bit back about her and Cox on the Friends set tahat made her seem like an insecure twit stuck in the 9th grade.

• JEREMY PIVEN is PIG and a real jerk~!

• TMZ has ANOTHER Mel Gibson rant on their front page right now. He's no peach.

  http://www.tmz.com

• Maybe Mel's rants are some sort of performance art or mockumentary ala Joaquin Phoenix. It's either that or he's just batshit crazy.

• Jean Claude Goddamn (what an effing "jerk"!). I ran into him in Lake Louise, Alberta, Canada. Thought his s*it didnt stink..my gf speaks French so she ripped into him when he pulled out his jacket and started in with his "Da women love me!" speech. Russel Crowe was booted out of - and barred - from every bar/pub in Canmore, Alberta, during filming of Mystery, Alaska. He wanted to 'have' all of his beers bought for him (asshole). All jerks, women are the worst! Yes, i have met many 'stars' and they only 'play' nice people on TV. Mind you, Luke Perry was 'very' nice in Calgary, Alberta, during his filming.

• Sarah Paulson was thrown off of the film "Claire's Cambodia" because of her behavior. It's in pre-production but she was soo far gone with her pre-production demands demands that they replaced her. It was all...I will not walk upon that set when the time comes unless I have blah blah blah...and all of that kind of stuff. Ghastly.

• What did she ask for?

• Is there a more entitled, snotty, bratty, fugly, untalented twat than Kristen Stewart?

• God, I love these threads.

• An Oscar-winning editor I know told me Barbara Striesand is the nastiest, rudest, most conceited woman in Hollywood and it's not even close. I've also heard Angelina Jolie is hated and considered a humourless, self-important bitch.

• r 144 here. I have another one. I have friends who work in the film industry and I was told that when Steven Seagal worked on a recent film set, he was so rude, disrespectful and touchy-feely with the women on set that a memo was sent out to female cast and crew warning them to stay away from him. Apparently he's well known to be a total pig.

• R139, please don't hold it against normal people that being in the shithole that is Alberta sometimes stresses them to the point that they are not at their best. Also, your use of single quotation marks with words such as "stars," "play," and "very," and your very peculiar use of double quotes with "have" in referring to Mr. Crowe indicate a personality that would leave anyone in your proximity a little shaken. That's how people behave when they are in the presence of a nut.

• [quote] I've also heard Angelina Jolie is hated and considered a humourless, self-important bitch Please. There have never been reports like that by people who actually know her. Angelina has exactly the opposite rep on set. She is extremely well liked below the line and she is always completely professional on set. Now I know some of you are making up some of this shit.

• What is the Costa Rica movie Faye is talking about?

• Agree with 147. A friend worked with Angelina on a film in Hong Kong and said she was very professional and didn't ask for special favors, ate the same lunch as the rest of the crew.

• R144, I believe you about Barbara Striesand. I have read and heard some much negativity about her. People say, but she had a staff that has been working with her for 40 years. If she was so vicious, she wouldn't have people working for her for such a long time. I think when it comes to people she can benefit from, she probably treats them very well, but anyone and everyone else they dirt to her. I once read that most of what she does in her life is calculated to center on her! I hated Oprah's show ,but I decided to watch it when she interviewed Barbara Striesand. When various people in the audience were asking her questions, she would answer them by looking in another direction verses looking directly at them. I thought she was so rude,and these stupid frau kept screaming over her, whatever!

• Contrary to R133's post a friend worked with Billy Bob Thornton on a film and positively gushed over BBT, saying that he was amazingly nice, down-to-earth and (as inexplicable as it may seem to us DataLounge denizens) quite attractive with tons of charisma. Displayed no attitude towards the crew or towards civilians. R145, in the early 1990s I dated a guy who worked with Steven Seagal during Seagal's mercifully brief heyday as a box office phenomenon and he said that Seagal was truly awful. [quote]When various people in the audience were asking her questions, she would answer them by looking in another direction verses looking directly at them. Not sure if Babs is renowned for her shyness but this trait is very common amongst shy people. In fact I do this myself and it is not intended as a slight.

• R151 that is true about shyness because I too was once extremely shy,and I would do the same thing. But I have read she thinks the public is beneath her so in her case it seems questionable. R151, is Billy Bob Thornton bisexual? I always get that vibe about him.

• My friend who worked on the film with BBT was a woman, so she may not have been attuned to any bisexual vibe. For whatever it's worth she said that BBT appeared to be a dedicated pussyhound and admitted that she found him strangely attractive despite harboring an aversion to him previously just based on his appearance and reports of his skeevy behavior around the time of BBT's marriage to Angelina Jolie.

• "Agree with 147. A friend worked with Angelina on a film in Hong Kong and said she was very professional and didn't ask for special favors, ate the same lunch as the rest of the crew." I don't believe you, R149. There's no WAY that Angelina eats lunch!

• GENE HACKMAN, now retired, is ALWAYS worth the 'trouble'.

• I tend to believe R145. About 7-8 years ago, I was staying at the same Vancouver hotel with Seagal. In the elevator, he would harass women, make loud, nasty comments to them, and get really belligerent and rude towards other people riding the elevator.

• I knew some people who worked in a hospital where Seagal's child was a patient. He was a nightmare. Mean, nasty, demanding and not even trying to be nice or grateful to the people trying to help his child.

• [quote]A friend worked with Angelina on a film in Hong Kong and said she was very professional and didn't ask for special favors, ate the same lunch as the rest of the crew. I feel sorry for the crew having to eat two radishes for lunch.

• Has anyone else worked with or has a friend who had dealt with Barbara Striesand and had horrible experiences?

• [quote]Has anyone else worked with or has a friend who had dealt with Barbara Striesand and had horrible experiences? read my book

• R160, what about Christopher Andersen's biography on her?

• Gene Hackman is a really nice guy period. He is basically retired but is welcome to work anytime he wants.

• Most loved on set: Angelina Jolie (polite, professional, witty, patient, helpful) Most disliked on set: Reese Witherspoon (distant, rude, ugly facial expressions, hides in trailer)

• My cousin was in the last Twilight movie and actually hung out with Kristen Stewart. My cousin said that Kristen is very shy but cool to hang out with. She is a huge pothead. My cousin also said that Rob and Kristen were very nice to the cast and crew but kind of over Twilight bc of the way it was being pumped out for money. Apparently Kristen and Rob's acting wasn't considered important and they weren't allowed time for any rehearsals, that kind of thing, and were both frustrated at being made fun of so much for being terrible actors when they couldn't do anything to change it bc it was what the studio wanted. I straight up asked my cousin if Kristen was a bitch and cousin said no, not at all just very shy and guarded but lovely one on one or in a small group. Dakota Fanning on the other hand wouldn't acknowledge the lowly no-names on the set and was supposedly a total bitch.
