Would you like to work for a celebrity? Do you think it would be enjoyable and fun?
Well, you might what to think again.
Crazy Celeb Demands
Your Atlanta plumber brings you snippets of crazy celebrity orders and demands compiled by RadarOnline.com, which has enumerated these stories and the gripes by their assistants.
Rebecca White, a former assistant of Lady Gaga, the talented and lovely singer who instead of wearing rollers, wears cans in her hair, is suing her for unpaid earnings. The former assistant of the "Born This Way" singer says that she was not paid wages for tasks that supposedly included being told to sleep in Lady Gaga’s bed as she did not sleep alone.
Phone Thrower
White has been a celebrity assistant before so you would think she would have been used to it by now or at least gotten some immunity to the famous peoples’ eccentricities, but it seems she hasn’t. White once was an assistant to Naomi Campbell, the notorious telephone thrower.
The former celeb assistant said that the hotel room’s bathrooms that Naomi Campbell stays in had to be outfitted with five scented candles. In addition, there had to be 10 more in the living room and 10 in the bedroom. This White had to do before the celeb arrived.
Bonnie Low-Kramen, co-founder of a group of celebrity assistants that is called the New York Celebrity Assistants, offered even more interesting stuff, such as a story about a celebrity who was in the habit of greeting assistants naked!
In the case of this crazy action by the celebrity, their assistant was not confident enough or did not feel empowered enough to express their discomfort to the celebrity.
More Toilet Paper Please!
Yet another of these celebrities we love so much called his aide while the assistant was in the city of New York and the celeb was across the Atlantic and asked the aide to call the hotel that he was staying at and tell them to take more toilet paper up to his room.
Low-Kramen, giving the story to the site said that the celebrity was five hours ahead as they were in London, the assistant was in New York, and yet he was demanding that she call his hotel to ask for more toilet paper. Really?
Your Atlanta plumber notes that its not all horror stories from the super-rich, there are many upsides to serving them too. White confirmed that she stayed rent-free in a loft in New York that belonged to Claire Danes, one of her clients. She was also paid a good $2,000 a week.
For this amount and other perks, calling an assistant for toilet paper will be taken with a laugh even.
