Was Karen Flores (Renee Russo) right?

She said that actors always order something that's not on the menu? I know that some actors and other famous people won't pay for themselves but is this that common?

I remember reading about a famous rappe, can't remember his name but he is one of the most famous ones, got a fan to pay for his hotel bill, over ten thousand dollars, but never paid him back. And don't forget about Paris Hilton that dined and ditched at a night club just because she thought that they owed her just because she showed up there.

I think that's probably true. Seems most people with a lot of money end up not having to spend it for things like that. Its like they lose the real value of things. I like it that he goes all into how it wants it prepared (without acknowledging anyone else), then gets up and leaves before it comes.

Its a trait of people with big egos and money.

I don't think nowadays actors do that anymore.
But before 90's, yeah I can see that being the norm.

I notice a lot of Americans do this. Its like they HAVE to alter something on the menu, I assume it makes them feel special.

In my limited experience, they are pretty entitled. I worked security for some in-store concerts and more than once caught the artists trying to glom merchandise right off the shelves in an area that was being used as "backstage". They seemed shocked when confronted.
