I was reading some articles talking about celebrities acting like jerks or just being pretentiously rude. I'm not sure if all of them or true, but enjoy.
Examples:
Robert De Niro:
"My dad was in a restaurant, which was owned by a friend of his. Robert De Niro came in and demanded a specific table, the one my dad was eating at. He wouldn’t take no for an answer, so the owner kicked De Niro out."
John Mayer
"John Mayer grew up in my hometown. We learned guitar from the same person. After John Mayer started getting some publicity and local fame, our teacher proudly put up a John Mayer poster in his practice room/office. He was so proud of “Johnny,” and talked about his progress while beaming at any opportunity. It was like his son had just graduated from Yale. Anyway, one day, John comes in, sees the poster, and, long story short, tells THE MAN WHO TAUGHT HIM GUITAR that he can’t use his face for advertisement without his permission, and threatens legal action."
Regis Philbin
"I was working cleaning Regis Philbin’s pool. He belittled me, yelled at me, and acted like a douche the whole time. At one point he asked me if I was thirsty, and before I could answer he yelled WELL YOU CAN’T HAVE MY LEMONADE and sat down in a chair, drinking lemonade, and watched me work. Complaining that I wasn’t fast enough the entire time."
Rihanna
"My coworker won free tickets and backstage passes to see Rihanna about a year after they were first playing “Umbrella” on the radio. When her kids finally got the chance to go meet Rihanna, she was sitting at her makeup booth and refused to face them, or even look at them. When they asked for her autograph, she told the closest backup dancer to forge it for them and shoo’d them away. The kids were heartbroken and they went home and threw all of her CD’s away. Now, they can’t even listen to her songs on the radio—they always change the station."
Pink
"I lived in Venice beach and right across from my apartment is a great little coffee shop called Zeldas. This was like 8am-ish on a saturday morning. Usually if I wanted to go out and go for a skate (skateboard) I’d have to get up really early to skate up and down the beach walk as to avoid the usual tourists that would flood the area on the weekends. Before I did I usually went and got a coffee. So I’m waiting in line and in comes Pink with her entourage and she looks like a total mess. Obvious late night, coke still caked around her nostrils, the whole 9 yards. she cuts to the front of the line and demands a latte. I make the comment, “Wow, really” to which she turns and says to me, “Do you know who I am? like I have to wait in line with you people.” She gets her coffee and leaves."
Shia LaBeouf
"Not my story, but girlfriend worked as an intern on Regis and Kelly when Transformers was coming out. Her fellow intern had the responsibility of shadowing Shia LaBeouf in the morning, getting him coffee, showing him around, etc. He had to follow LaDouche out back because he wanted to have a smoke, and the intern tried making small talk instead of standing around awkwardly. ****ing Even Steven says to him all mega-diva style “we don’t have to talk,” turns his back on him, and smokes his cigarette in silence."

Has anybody else/someone you know encountered douchebag celebs?
