Photographer is a Free Loader in St. Tropez
NewYorkPost – Which aging photographer used to evade taxes by having his clients write out checks to his favorite hangout in St. Tropez to cover his tab there? With business down, now he’s ordering half-portions and free-loading the booze — “There’s even a designated ‘surveillance’ person to keep check that his drinks are ultimately paid for,” says our spy.
The Chicken and Blueberry Diet
BlindGossip – This TV actress put on a few pounds (six, to be exact) while her show was on hiatus, but now that they are back in production, she is desperate to lose weight quickly. She has begun a diet of 800 calories a day consisting only of the following foods: chicken, brown rice, non-fat yogurt, and blueberries. If you are assuming she eats the first two together, and the second two together, you’d be wrong.

She Thinks She’s Being Crafty About Food
BlindGossip – Although the budgets on quite a few television shows have been cut over the last year, the principal actors still usually earn many multiples the salary of the show’s staff. That’s why it’s rather curious that one actress on a popular ensemble show seems to be economizing by raiding the craft services table. She makes frequent trips to the table, always taking two or three times as much as she plans on consuming, and stuffs the extra items in a bag which she takes home at the end of the day. Perhaps she’s planning on having the munchies later.
Lunch is on this Hardworking TV Actress
BuzzFoto – Which hardworking and talented mostly Television Actress often buys her whole cast and crew lunch, just to be nice? Not Teri Hatcher.The Dragon Lady is Their Meal Ticket
DailyMirror – Which obnoxious celeb, who has a £5million fortune, is dubbed The Dragon by her “friends”? They see her as a meal ticket and nothing more…Actress Tried to Do a Dine and Dash
BlindGossip – This actress gets paid plenty for her current television gig. However she apparently doesn’t always carry cash with her. She stopped by a popular food truck for some lunch recently. When her food arrived, she discovered that they wouldn’t take her debit or credit card. She actually pulled the old “Don’t you know who I am?” routine in trying to get the proprieter to let her walk away with the food with a promise to bring the money the next day. The owner refused. The actress began pouting and whining. Finally a kind stranger stepped up and paid the owner. The actress offered her autograph as payment, but the good samaritan refused. The actress simply said “OK, well, thank you!”, grabbed her food, and left. We still don’t understand why she didn’t offer to send the stranger the money, which is probably worth more than her autograph anyway.
