Celebrity Gossip

Julia Roberts was first seen was too trailer trash. When Julia first hit the L.A. showbiz scene, Abrams Artist Agency didn’t want to sign her because they thought she was too low-class looking. Can you believe it? In Cooper Lawrence’s new book, “The Cult OF Celebrity” the author dishes on how Julia Roberts, Annette Benning and Robin Givens were all initially given the cold shoulder.

Sean Combs was also singaled out as being an atrocious diva. He demaned that publicist Susan Blond grant him a front-row seat at a Versace fashion. He said if the PR team didn’t pony up and get him up front he’d fire them:

“He said if we didn’t get him in, we would be fired. We called, but it was the middle of this East Coast-West Coast rap war when everyone was being shot. They didn’t want [any rappers there] and we were fired the next day.”

Now this, of course, doesn’t shock us. Also disclosed in the book was Janet Jackson’s demand that she be in the gossip pages. Janet was very concerned with keeping her “name hot” the book says.
