Pop Music Diva Expected Free Clothing

A July/August Movieline magazine blind item asks, “That pop music diva loves to shop at every hip sinfully expensive boutique on the map, and she usually has great taste when picking out her items. But when it comes to manners, well, she just doesn’t have any. One afternoon last spring she swooped into New York’s edgiest, most exclusive shop with her entourage and demanded the owners shut down for two hours so she could make her selections without prying eyes on her, The sales people complied and she proceeded to rack up a bill well over $15,000. When the manager asked for the doll’s credit card, the star sniffed and said she thought all the goods were free. ‘Why shouldn’t they be?’ she said, ‘I give your store publicity.’ When the shop owner politely and firmed refused, she threw a hissy fit and was asked, just as politely and firmly, to leave sans the goods – and to never return.”
