We've already covered the music business...might as well rate the movie scum while we're at it.
Entries can be based on political, social, or personal grounds(including refusal to sign autographs and general assholiness towards fans).

Still, I find this funny...

(20,176 posts)What gets left out of that story is that 5 minutes after it was over, it was blown over. The 2AD said "It's my fault" and they end up getting a drink after shooting. Those kinds of blowups are commonplace on film sets...the result of people working 15-18 hour days six days a week for weeks on end during shooting. Tempers flare and nobody thinks anything of it...you get the anger out and move the fuck on. Everybody takes a 10 minute break and gets a water. Then you go on with your work.
That however was one of the more epic explosions I've heard though. When I was writing script, my writing partner is also a fairly-significant producer for TV and self-produces all our work-product meaning he's frequently the one forced to compromise the artistic vision of our scripts to make then work for shooting or conditions. We've had some epic fights over this. If you ever meet someone in the film trade who tells you they've never had an on-set blowup, I'll show you someone who doesn't give a shit about their craft.

(20,176 posts)inevitably are the biggest assholes, pains in the ass and primadonnas.
In contrast, Lindsey Lohan is a sweetheart. Horribly adjusted and with a skewed worldview but nevertheless not a malicious person.
The most well-adjusted, down-to-earth and nice person I ever met though was Olivia Wilde. Treats everybody like they're important to her success. (They are, but most actors won't acknowledge it.)
