I've been gone for awhile but anywaze....

When the news broke of Jen's family being killed, I was on MTO, in a group posting comments about how sad it was that her family was murdered, posting condolences and such. When one of the posters alerted us saying...Everybody go to Myspace quick, Jen's sister is posting as we speak. Mind you this was not long after her son was found to be murdered. She (I forgot her name, it was when Myspace was still poppin') was on Myspace bragging about how she was about to come up..She said, "I've done what I needed to do, now they are gonna make me a star"...It's my turn, I'm next blah blah blah. Check this..Ya'll remember that Myspace icon allowing you to choose your current mood. Well hers was celebratory..that is until everyone started going in about her having the nerve to be happy and celebratory knowing that her family had just been massacred.

Some days later, the father of Jen's slain nephew posted a video on Youtube claiming that his son, Jen's mother and brother were all ritual sacrifices so that she could elevate in the business. He also talked about his son's mother, how greedy they were and how they would do just about anything to become famous. They shut him down with the quickness because he posted another video a short time later stating that he would not be speaking on the matter in the future, ya'll just forget about what I said. The man looked spooked. I mean, he is dark complexioned and on the second video his skin looked grey and ashen. As if he knew he might be next if he didn't shut it down.

IMO..Jen and her sister are some cold bi#ches. Jen even thought she was gonna take Whitney's place..Never gonna happen boo boo.




For those who don't believe that people make sacrifices for fame..Trust and believe, its true.

I remember the father of Jen's slain nephew was also trying to launch his rap career. Go figure. Now if Jen did really did do all of that to elevate her career then we see that didn't really work out. She has had some success but not like that.

Jen's sisters behavior after her family died always struck me as odd.

She demanded to know what everyone's job was, and why they had to be there, saying things like "why am I giving all these guys a peep show". Like it had never occured to her that young guys living in LA weren't that interested in seeing someone old enough to be their mom get undressed. About a third of the crew had to leave the set.

The funny part is when she did take her bra off there was barely stifled laughter amongst the crew. Ryan had to keep his hands on her breasts the whole scene just to hold them up. Her nickname behind her back for the rest of the shoot was "pancake tits". She seemed completely oblivious.

Regardless of how one feels about JLo, with nude scenes, it's standard procedure to have a closed set and make any non-necessary crew members leave. And for the crew to actually laugh and mock an actor's body like that is also incredibly unprofessional. I'm not even a fan of JLo, but body shaming a near 50-year-old woman for not having a perky enough rack isn't cool either.

I’m at work so I can’t listen to the clip.

All I remember about that tragic period is oprah letting Jen stay at her personal home in Chicago allowing Jen to grieve in peace

 

[incogneato]

The All Eyes on Me director and prop advisor never paid their vendor for the supplies they used. When they did, three checks bounced after filming. She wanted to sue but Empire producers paid her a hefty amount for prop devices so she let it go. To be vengeful, She and her husband ran their racist mouths to their white friends and basically helped the movie get less publicity on certain platforms and also caused some investors to pull their money back from the movie. The movie basically made no money(the money needed to get the budget plus incentives for crew members) and nobody was able to get a bonus due to the deficit. Angry white women and men still run sh!t in Hollywood even prop companies. The company never watches empire because they’re practically prejudice but they make great money off the show and other movies . New age slavery ...

Jen's sisters behavior after her family died always struck me as odd.

Odd indeed..she was more interested in becoming a celebrity than grieving the loss of her son and family. She is the one that found her mother and the 911 call was very suspect. The dispatcher asked if she needed an ambulance and her response was, I don't know. Really!?? If I had found my mother laying on the floor with a bullet wound you best believe I would want an ambulance and the police. She also never mentioned her son..She started screaming my brother, where's my brother into the phone. It was very bizarre.

Random list, but below are firsthand, or close secondhand (via friend or associate), and some of the ppl on this list you may not have heard anything about/from in years but still, if you don't care or want to read it, just scroll by plz.

- My friend produced on one of LL Cool J's albums, he was always nice. And LL has a nice house.

- C!ara and R!hanna's rift started because of a misunderstanding (long story), but Ci is a Scorpio and gives as good as she gets, so when Ri started acting funny to her, so did she.

- Hype Williams is nice. Computer nerd type of guy. Super smart. Shy until he gets to know you. Picky eater. But cool person.

- Lala is nice and tips well. I've even seen her pay for people when their cards declined.

- Kan/di is nice, i've never had a bad encounter with her, always friendly

- Eve was a sweetheart, this was years ago, but still. The whole cast of "Eve" was pleasant, really.

- But Alex!s Fields and Br@ndy used to not get along (during Moesha), that wasn't all acting.

- Somebody i know who works in Finance has seen info pertaining to certain rappers/entertainers, including Soulja Boy, Ray J, Br@ndy, T.I., A$hanti, and based on what she saw, they are not broke. At all. This person is not the lying type and they saw large amounts of money, liquid. This was about 2 years ago, but still. I was most surprised about Soulja but after the person explained it, it made sense. Not all his money came/comes from entertainment, he does other stuff.

- El!se Neal is kind of stern but she's cool though. You can tell she means well. About her business, no nonsense.

- Ll0yd B@nks had a white chick he was dealing with, she was early 20s, maybe 19, not younger than that though, i remember she was at least 19-20. She had a kid already when he met her. Her mother was kind of crazy and she was also. She would wild out on him for having to go do shows and make money, spazzing on him and getting mad over stuff he liked on social media etc. Also was mad because he had a lot of female fans. He got tired of her antics and dropped her. Girl was dumb though because if she had acted right he would have been with her long term. This was around the time of Rotten Apple. B@nks likes to have fun, but is not a loud/drama type of dude. Even when he was younger, he was always that chill laidback dude. He got play, but wasn't into the drama. As far as Yariz, she was hoping for something more with B@nks but i already knew how that would go because he has a "preference". He will smash all races but he prefers ww. He doesn't bash bw though.

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,

I would definitely not too highly if any star (across the board) that treated people like they were above them or had a diva kind of mentality.

Lol on J huds.....maybe she bought into that whole "fake it til you make" mentality and was testing it out on the Dream Girls production??

...Nah...lol...just kidding ;-) I believe that one is absolutely diva and in the "I'm better than everyone else" frame of mind. A shame, actually cuz talent only gets you so far....

[nevergiveup405]

Just to preface I've worked/work on sets, some shows and some events over the years so I will spill my own tea and other tea from other friends who work behind the scenes.Like OP said a lot of these people are are another story behind the scenes, especially a lot of the women.


As far as directors go and like some posters have said Quentin Tarantino is surprisingly REALLY nice, even on set. He jokes, introduces some of his other chief crew members.

David Fincher (The Social Network, A Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) is also surprisingly very nice on set and in person as well.

Lee Daniels is an asshole. I had some friends that worked on The Butler, the new movie with Oprah that's about to come out and he is a raging lunatic on set. Of course he's not like that with Oprah, Lenny Kravtiz, but with the crew and extras just like TP. I consider him to be the Tyler Perry of indie films, but after hearing how he acts on set I REALLY can't stand his ass now. It's just funny considering that I've worked on the set of films for Fincher and Quentin, actual A-list directors and here this c-list ass ***** JUST starting out in the business compared to them and he acts like Hitler. I really believe that him and Tyler Perry will have a huge fall from grace. They don't treat people behind the scenes right.

Now for some actresses/actors:

Zoe Saldana is a cokehead. A friend of mines told me that at a movie wrap party he attended/worked on that she was openly using coke at a table without a care in the world. But that's the norm on sets and wrap parties for movies, where the crew is on some type of drug, so I'm sure she felt comfortable to do so.

Salma Hayek acts like a snobby b!tch on film sets.When she was done filming her scenes for the day on one film, the heffa would request that her car/driver park far from the rest of the crew waiting on their rides so that she didn't have to stand next to other members/actors on set. Another friend told me that he told her "good morning" while standing during a film break and she straight up ignored him. LOL.

Taraji P Henson is a sweetheart.She cracks jokes with the crew on set, doesn't mind taking photos, etc.

Cate Blanchett is pretty cool.

Brad Pitt is nice. His skin is awful in person though.He has a crater face. I saw someone mention that in the thread. It was surprising to see.

Reese Witherspoon was surprisingly nice at an event I went to some years back.She posed for pictures and everything, which was a shock considering it was Ryan Phillipe's event for his movie when they were married at the time. He was ok, but no one cared about him.They cared about Reese which was funny because it had to be about two weeks later after that event that they announced their separation.

Idris Elba is pretty cool on set.I've been around a lot of celebs, over the years especially some "heartthrobs" and NO ONE captivated me in the way Idris did, in terms of his presence. He's really got it in terms of becoming another Will Smith.

Nicholas Cage is a damn weirdo.Sometimes he would be happy on set, sometimes he wouldn't say a word. He was so paranoid he ended up renting a whole FLOOR of a building he temporarily stayed at (he stayed in a condo) because he didn't want to "deal" with people.


I'll think of more when I can......

She does seem nice in interviews from what I've seen.

Site administration deletes sh!t regularly to avoid drama or implications of some sort. This site has been sued at least once (by Chris Evans) and I'm sure receives several cease and desist messages probably weekly.

If this tea thread was factual I am sure good ish was wiped to avoid a court appointment.

Worked on the set of House of Cards for a security company in Baltimore. Kevin Spacey was a complete asshole & so was his personal security. Glad the #MeToo caught him by the dick it’s his karma

 

[TennisBracelet]

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...

Wow

 

[Blanc Dove]

Any tea about young H0llywôód? $hawn M3ndes, C@mÎl@ C@b3ll0, Z3ndäyå, black actors Lüp1t@, Dàn@i Gûr!ra, Br@dl3y Cööp3er, Br@d P1tt and ÃJ0l!3? Or any  l!ster tea? How does H0llywøød feel about losing their star and power to infulencērs and rëality stars. Do they know soon they’ll become extinct and irrelevant?

 

[TennisBracelet]

Okay so I'm really starting to believe this cuz some months back another incog spilled some tea on Frank and said before he came out he messed with alot of industry DL types who were either married or had women. The incog said one of his most infamous hookups was with the producer Tricky Stewart and how he supposedly gave Trick head while his wife was upstairs sleep in bed. He supposedly was friends with Trick's wife as well. bad:

Smh.

That is sociopathic.

I knew a woman that brought her gay bestie around her dates to test them to see if he could turn them. If he couldn't then she knew he was really straight.

She said alllll the men her gay bestie had were all in relationships with women.

Smh

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.

I love missy. She seems so genuinely sweet.

 

[Jayse]

That jlo 'tea' was trash like she's sepposed to strip Nacked happily in front of her unprofessional crew who then laughed at her

She's supposed to do her job like a professional.

The part about her still thinking she's a hot young 20-something is absolutely spot on. She's completely in denial when it comes to ageing. I worked on the set of "The Boy Next Door", the film with her and Ryan Guzman. She never spoke to any of the crew during filming, the only time she even acknowledged us was the day we shot the love scene.

She demanded to know what everyone's job was, and why they had to be there, saying things like "why am I giving all these guys a peep show". Like it had never occured to her that young guys living in LA weren't that interested in seeing someone old enough to be their mom get undressed. About a third of the crew had to leave the set.

The funny part is when she did take her bra off there was barely stifled laughter amongst the crew. Ryan had to keep his hands on her breasts the whole scene just to hold them up. Her nickname behind her back for the rest of the shoot was "pancake tits". She seemed completely oblivious.

[Meimei0316]

No shade on the tea spillers (please MOAR) but I get where Jlo is coming from. She has the right to be nervous and act extra before a nude scene.
Kerry W talked about how on Scandal they always made sure to get rid of anyone who was not absolutely needed when they shot love scenes.

As a woman and after two kids she's allowed to feel insecure. The crew mocking her body afterwards only proves her point.



Look at me defending Jlo lmao
