D Listers Are The Worst
I want you to know that the headline above refers in no way to Michael K or the great people who read his site. Instead, what I'm talking about is the attitude that most C & D listers take compared to everyone else. An A lister can be an ass. There is no question about that. But, many of them are the victims of their "people" who are trying to justify their jobs by making demands in the name of the person they represent. What I find to be most true is that the biggest jerks and divas are the new rich so to speak. The ones who suddenly find themselves famous after years of trying. The worst diva whether it be male or female is someone who has just a touch of popularity. They generally make the most demands because it is the first time they have ever been in a position to make demands rather than just being jealous of those who do.
The latest example of someone who has let fame go to their head is Kathy Griffin. Kathy, who used to be an accessible celebrity has become more of a diva than her former co-star Brooke Shields has ever been.
The NY Daily News reported today that at a party in NY that was for charity, all the other celebrities including Bette Midler tried to meet every fan that was there. What did Kathy do? Sat at her table in a corner and sulked while her bodyguard shielded her from anyone who tried to approach her and talk. I never understood that behavior. Why go to an event if you are just going to sit apart and just be stared at. Do you enjoy being stared at? Do you enjoy people seeing you have a bodyguard and a table to yourself? Do you enjoy having people approach you only to see your bodyguard turn them away? Is that how you get off? Is that why you went?
One fan even managed to get her when Kathy got up for some reason. Probably to check to make sure someone had heated the toilet seat in the bathroom or something. When the fan said hi, Kathy acted as if nothing had been said and just moved along. Nice.
