Incense And Staplers

February 19, 2016 Blind Gossip

stapler[BBC] BG Note: This is from an article titled “Oscars 2015: Secrets of the limo drivers.”

Behind the tinted windows there are also chips, peanuts, juice and hard candy (“chocolate is too messy,”) too, but it’s usually requested that the liquor cabinet stays dry. No one wants any flubs in front of the camera, though the champagne is usually in the trunk ready for after the show.

The limos are mini-offices, with Apple TV, wifi and Bluetooth. Chauffeurs always take time to lay out the goodies, even arranging the napkins, because a good impression (or knowing the nearest place to get cigarettes) can affect the size of their tips, which Alex Darbahani of KLSLA says average around $100, though can be as much as $800 – or as little as $20.

Special requirements cost extra, of course.

One “very well-known actor,” says Darbahani discreetly, “wanted incense, no music, and a specific route for the driver to take. He was meditating in the car before the Oscars.”

Drivers have an emergency kit as well: a black bag with travel-size hairspray, mouthwash, a small sewing kit and other bits and bobs.

“It can get them a big tip,” says Darbahani, recalling the time when a driver had to staple the dress of an actress. “In the pictures from the event, you can see how she kept her hand over the staples the whole time.”

    Actor Matthew M
    Actress Angie

    Blowing my boyfriend in the back of a car on x. Wasn’t worth the trouble.

    Incense -Richard Gere
    Actress -oh so many if them.
    I once smoke pot in the back of a police car with the police.

    Actress: Jennifer Anniston

    Clue: The red stapler from Office Space (“Have you seen my stapler?”). She wore a red dress and has blond hair. I couldn’t find a single picture where she exposed the top of the dress under her left arm. It’s the only dress she’s not doing the chicken wing pose in.

      Nuts. The blind says “hand” not “arm.” She still looks weird with her left arm hanging rigidly straight in every picture.

    Incense actor: Johnny Depp, fer sure!
    Staple actress: Angelina Jolie

    Incense actor: Leo

    Staple actress: Gwenyth Paltrow, because the stapler looks like Ironman.

    Incense: Richard Gere
    That’s all I’ve got.

    Incense Actor? My guess is Richard Gere. Staple actress? Probably lots of them because so many dresses are so tight and in some cases are actually sewn into them.

    Incense actor: Johnny Depp?

    Incense actor: Matthew McConaughey
    Staple Actress: no clue!

    Why is Leo even being nominated? The whole “based on a true story” movie was bear manure.

    THE WALK was a REAL true story. And Joseph learned fluent French and filmed the movie 9′ up in the air on an actual high wire and trained by the actual person the film was about!

    Leo is a d-bag

      Obviously his studio and the producers didn’t schmooze enough. Just making a brilliant film won’t get you a nomination sadly.

      February 20, 2016 at 11:33 pm

      I loved The Walk!

      AGREE!!!!
      He is not even a good actor. He is only in the news because of his modelizing..he plays the same person over and over again. Tom Hardy is a much better actor.

    Optional: Not proud of this but in my wild twenties I smoked drugs in the back of a hired car…with the driver!!

    • dd1976 says

    • gahansgirl says

      February 21, 2016 at 8:14 am

      Aww if you just smoked a joint with the driver, that sounds fun!! If you smoked crack or heroin, that is definitely wild!!!

    Matthew Mcconaughey? Also Russell Brand is a big fan of meditation but I’m not sure he was ever at the oscars…

    What is the naughtiest thing you’ve ever done in the back of a hired car?
    I boinked my prom date…..errr did she boink me?

    Here’s a few useless tidbits for you, now that you have “Incense and Peppermints” lodged firmly in my head.

    The guy who sang lead, was 16 years old, Greg Munford. The person who co-wrote the Bridge and came up with all of the lead guitar parts to “Incense and Peppermints” is the same guy who co-wrote “Sweet Home Alabama”, Ed King.

      February 22, 2016 at 9:58 am

      Haha the title of the blind got Incense and Peppermints stuck in my head too.

    • abetty98 says

      February 22, 2016 at 2:13 pm

      Like the trivia you wrote I actually still have my mom’s 45 with Incense and Peppermints on one side and the Birdman of Alcatraz on the other. Just brought a nice memory…thanks bubbasbbq!

  19. bhakti says

    February 19, 2016 at 3:35 pm

    Russell Brant or Matthew McConahey
    Staple Actress: not sure

    I’m not telling but it was naughty and fun!??

  20. mermaidh2 says

    February 19, 2016 at 3:24 pm

    Incense actor: probably Johhny Depp trying to cover his stank
    Staple actress: Angelina Jolie and the “leg” dress? She had her hand on her upper thing where the slit ended most of the time

    • mermaidh2 says

      February 19, 2016 at 3:25 pm

      I changed my mind on incense actor: gonna go with McConaughey

    • mermaidh2 says

      February 19, 2016 at 3:25 pm
