behind the scenes tea- tv,movies,music

[incogneato]

I've worked for several major production comps in my years and since I'm retiring out of the industry,let's have a tea party. BTW I've always said it's not how celebs act around each other that should be examined, but how one treats the crew and people who they don't "have to be nice to that counts.

Xfactor UK- everyone loved Cherly Cole, hate Nicole sherinzer, she is a major diva and actually tells the crew not to talk directly to her on between cuts, tulisa is nice, a bit ghetto, but nice

Xfactor USA- khloe K almost got fired the third day, she kept fumbling the lines in rehearsal, showed up late, her mother was always hanging around the producers, prob won't be asked back. Nice girl but presenting takes some charisma..
Dream Girls- Eddie, Beyonce, Anika noni rose, were all very professional and nice to the crew, Jennifer Hudson was a nightmare, which was funny since she was nobody at the time, she was fresh of American idol (lost) and demanded a dressing room/trailer as big as Beyonce and Eddie..
Blood Diamonds- Leo was very nice to the whole crew, and spent alot of time with the locals, he is a very connected person, very kind despite his celebrity,

 

[Absolvo]

present. ty for the tea, incog


also j. hud...

 

[Daenerys]

okay, anything else? I'm listening

 

[Mitsukuni]

I always felt that J-Hud was a piece of work. What other tea can you spill? :

 

[ElliotsWifey]

Present *sits right up front*

glad to know that about Anika, I wish would get more recognition, j-huge needs to sit down somewhere acting like she somebody. Your voice is NOT worth the estate of Michael Jackson (thanks Got2BeReal)

 

[Killa]

OP are you black? Did Leo try to holla?



Oh and Khloe is awful as a host. Mario should host solo.

I've got a friend who works for Mona Scott productions who does the Love &hiphop series and apparently Yandy and Mona have a very close relationship

 

[incogneato]

Mother as a secretary at an advertising company.....spike lee was an asshole (no surprise), tiger woods was very nice and personable, and mc hammer was an ass whose head got too big when he had is entire entourage. Mom doesn't feel bad that he's broke...last time he was there, he was beggin a big executive for ANYTHING when he was going broke.

Saw Phylicia Rashad walking by...tried to go up to her to say how much I admired her as an actress. She just smiled and kept on walking...like she couldn't be bothered. Well, that's why the b!tch can't get any work.

White tea: Also, at the previous job where I worked, Katy Perry is a b!tch....Russel Brand used her for more fame. When he was in England trying to break into the U.S market...him and his agent sat down and looked at a list of available starlets for him to get with to increase his profile....no wonder they divorced. Tis all!

 

[Mrs. Dumelo]

I heard that Jennifer Hudson was very mean to the people around her. Is it really true?

 

[Kitty Katt]

 

[soufully]

I knew Khole K wasn't ready to be a host by watching this season's X-Factor she just seemed so unprepared and not ready.

 

[Chile Boo]

oh, hey incog!! make yourself comfortable i come w/ refreshments

 

[incogneato]

Have a friend that works as a manager in a hotel in NYC:

Friend saw Destiny's Child....said Beyonce has an incredible body in person....face is average. Kinda quiet...friend said that B kind of gave off a certain air to her...don't know what that means. She said she was surprised when she saw all 3 of them, because Kelly was the one that was more out-going, personable, and full of personality. She said she was surprised that Kelly wasn't the bigger star after seeing how all 3 of them acted in person.

She said Samuel L. Jackson was real funny and nice.

Mariah Carey was the nastiest celebrity and was the worst one....had way too many demands and too fussy.

Michael Jackson was a sweetheart...and his REAL voice was a deep manly voice. She said he hated his voice. She thought he made his voice high to appear more like a child...u know...not having a childhood and everything.

i'm a make up artist, but when i was starting out years ago under gucci westman i worked around many celebrities. mostly musicians but some actors and models as well. people that i still remember (for good and bad reasons):

naomi campbell- stunningly beautiful in person. i didn't get her appeal as a model until i saw her in person. her lisp is very noticeable in person lol. she's also quite soft spoken, which surprised me. she wasn't friendly but wasn't rude, she mostly just spoke to gucci and her assistant.

justin timberlake- i've met him multiple times. he gives off a very goofy, dorky vibe at first but he's really chill and funny once he's comfortable with you. extremely flirtatious. i remember one instance in particular when i was cleaning his face with toner and putting lotion on he kept pretending to bite my hand and when i would work around his face he'd always say "ooh you smell so nice" in this goofy voice. i didn't find him facially attractive, but he really grew on me and he is a genuinely sweet guy. very polite to everyone who works behind the scenes, make up artists, hair stylists, clothing stylists, crew, everyone. a true "southern gentleman".

usher- complete diva. i remember he walked in with shades on and about a dozen huge men who were part of his "entourage". his pa told everyone on set not to speak to him because he was having a bad day. he didn't speak to anyone except the photographer, and stayed on his phone and kept his shades on until it was time to shoot. and he's short as hell in person, i'm about 5'7'' and i was taller than him in flats. instead of speaking to people directly, he told his pa what food and drink he wanted and he didn't say please or thank you once.

missy elliot- sooooo sweet and down to earth! she came in with a smile on her face and said hi to everybody. when she was getting her hair and makeup done she talked to us about her day and was just so personable. someone on set put 'i'm really hot' on and she started dancing and she and some gay hair guy went at it and it was hilarious.

 

[Joan Smalls]

Yeah, maybe there will be a tea party today!

 

[michelle45]

well i do not know if this counts as tea but i heard that AntonLevey was not a devil worshipper.. he was full of sh!t.. he did this for money.. The church of satan was created by an accident to scare some people away but they did not get scared they loved it so he figured hey i can make money off this.. also he was a jew... jews do not believe in the devil or the second coming of christ.. His crucifixtion was his second coming according to the jews.. i hear he did some ugly things to his child(female) n0 need to go on.. and sammy was not a devil worshipper either.. he did it all for the ass. yes he and altrovise were swingers so this satanic sh!t was a way for him to get free pussy by engaging in orgies and sh!t.. well i said too much..

 

[LENA JAMES]

* Subscribing, this thread has potential........

 

[incogneato]

Worked on a documentary this past summer...the field analyst told me that Tyler Perry is a nightmare for his crew. He's incredibly nice and generous to the actors in his film, but doesn't give a fµck about crew.....which is dumb, because your crew are the ones that will be most loyal to you as a director. He also smells too good in person...field analyst told me he just seems very strange and his whole vibe is just off....

Terrence Howard is one weird motherfµcker. Gives off some serial killer vibes. Lies about the college he went to...dats all i got for now

 

[Zuri Arie]

*sits*

 

[Anna Wintour]

Santa is REAL! Yasssss to all the tea spilt (lol) so far.

 

[Bianca Carey]

It's finally starting to look like christmas.

Thank you incog.

 

[Petite fraise]

not a bit surprised about phylicia.. as i watched the cosby show as a teen and young adult she always struck me as conceited and stuck up.. Hammer seemed so down to earth and it was said his letting his boys from the hood work for him caused him to go bankrupt.. they claimed he was nice to everyone.. hell i felt bad for him but now i see that god really does not like ugly.. spike is another who strikes me as an asshole.. no wonder its hard for him to get funding for his movies.. russell brand is not straight sorry all.. i always wondered why katy married him.. i guess he did the man up thing to get her than dump her once he got what he needed..

Gloria Alred said the same thing. She heard him call her a B- and was shocked about how deep and masculine his voice was. She said it sounded like a diff person was inside of him

: thats sad about usher i love him! but i've heard the diva thing before, i was hoping it was a one time thing...
justin sounds adorable! when was this? was he dating cameron or jessica at the time? did he try to get with you?

I believe the kelly thing, and this is not the first time I heard this because when i went to see them live several times...kelly was the one getting the crowd hype and all, she has so much energy...it seemed like whenever beyonce talked it was scripted or something. this is just from my experiences.

keep the tea coming OP

 

[incogneato]

Oprah - very kind, down to Earth

Taylor Swift - fake, attempted to dumb herself down

Common - sweet, made it a point to look people in the eye when speaking

Beyonce - soft spoken, polite.

Toni Morrison - rude, haughty attitude

Lil Wayne - seductive

 

[ovaltine]

Lil Wayne - seductive

I'm a different incog, sorry for jacking your thread 1st incog. I'll be bold.

One of my friends is a PA for a top notch exec @ warner bros. She told me that those that have stuck out for her are:

1. Rihanna isn't friendly. Its as if your wasting her time or something. She comes off as rude. When she's surrounded by other females its as if she feels threatened. Like she would rather hang out with Melissa or flirt with some guys.

2. Diddy has a very weird vibe about him. He's awkward & never seems comfortable. He was spotted @ 1 of the playboy mansion parties high as a kite, kissing on a light skinned dude who looked a lot like Quincy (Al B's son)...

3. Beyonce drinks (alcohol) a lot. She could actually be considered an alcoholic, but it hasn't gotten to bad.

I'll come back with more...
