“IT'S CALLED GOSSIP AND OF COURSE IT'S AN OBSESSION OF MINE" -ANDY WARHOL

“Decades ago it was easier for divas such as Bette Davis to get away with brattish behaviour because there was little access to them and their air of mystery prevailed. Not so today. Where once it suggested high glamour, now it smacks of “notice me” desperation. Celebrities may think that they are consolidating their power and “legend” status by their prima donna demands (Mariah Carey is said to have an assistant to hold her glass for her while she drinks; Diana Ross instructed her entire entourage to address her as “Miss Ross”) but it effectively disempowers them. The wonderful talent that made them famous in the first place becomes secondary, and the divadom ends up defining them. It's probably too late now for Naomi to ensure that she is remembered for her beauty and not her filthy temper. But other celebrities should watch and learn. It is how famous people treat the “little” people around them that is the legacy which really endures.”
