Stars: They're just like us!

Well, they're like us if you're a great big jerk! I love reading and hearing about what celebs are "really" like. Even when it's not true I get a kick out of it!

Craig had an experience not too long ago in LA where someone who claimed to have worked for Brad Pitt for several years went on and on to him about what a bitch Jennifer Aniston is! Said that she would constantly verbally abuse Brad, calling him "stupid" and severely limited his red meat intake. This guy told Craig that he would rather stick his eye with a hot dagger than ever have to work for Jennifer Aniston again. You did know that Jennifer was a huge bitch, didn't you?

Anyway, these two women who worked at The Four Seasons in Chicago are writing a tell-all on the celebs they catered to during their stint at the swank hotel. I totally believe the bit on John Cusack. He's meant to be a REAL JERK. Pity, isn't it?


If you're an ungrateful, uber-demanding celebrity visiting the Chicago area, the Four Seasons Hotel would like to welcome you!

Abigail Hart and Nancy Joyce Callahan, who used to work at the five-star inn as concierges, have given us something much better than pillow mints: tales of their years of groveling for the rich and famous. Among the alleged behavior they recount in their dishy Crown book, "Great Reservations":

For a mere 12-hour stay, assistants for Nicole Kidman shipped a set of pink, 800-thread-count Italian sheets to the hotel ahead of her visit - along with diagrams and pages of instructions on how to make the bed. The then-Mrs. Tom Cruise never actually arrived.

Gary Busey pitched a screaming tantrum when he spotted a potted palm in his hallway. "I want that tree in my room!" he's said to have ordered. The staff obliged him, and gave him the nickname "Abuse-y."

Diva Diana Ross informed the staff no one was to make eye contact with her. Maids also discovered a black, tumbleweed-like object on the floor of her room; it turned out to be her wig.

John Cusack mistook the Four Seasons for his mom's house, shipping his dirty laundry to the hotel before he checked in so they could wash it, according to the authors. They also claim he left his discarded underwear around his room to be collected, laundered and mailed to him after he checked out. "Not accurate," Cusack's rep tells us. "That's not John at all. He also hasn't stayed there in a decade."

Conversely, the authors found that some of the biggest stars had the smallest egos:

Madonna was remarkably polite and low-key during her three-month stay while filming "A League of Their Own." She read dozens of book a week in her sweltering suite - she hated air conditioning - and tipped one of the concierges enough to finance her European vacation.

Anthony Hopkins insisted that people call him plain old Tony and became irate if anyone used the stuffy "Sir Anthony" moniker.

After Elton John gave up his debauched, drug-fueled lifestyle, he insisted on staying in the hotel's smallest room and refused the VIP amenities as part of his quest for moderation and balance. He also stopped checking in under his favorite (and unprintable) alias.

The hotel had no comment on the delicious tell-all, which will be available April 15. (Source: NY Daily News)
