National Enquirer Blind Item

WHICH 50-something Oscar-nominated actress is a costume designer’s worst nightmare? She’s been known to pinch the most expensive fashions from her film sets and return the pricey duds to high-end department stores!

sharon stone! it's known and it's even in her agreement (she becomes the owner of her movie outfits)

Lohan? Oh wait, she just looks 50.

Is Sharon Stone acting in anything these days to do this?

And our bosses worry about minor office theft such as pencils and personal use of copy machines, LOL. It's really weird hearing about celebrities greedily filling goody bags with free promotional items and stealing costumes when they get paid more in a day than most of us will make in a year. Then there are those who expect free meals and merchandise from businesses. It boggles the mind!

Cheap and thievish.

You get used to it. You get the freebies all the time and then you don't want to pay for them b/c you either think that they're not worth the cost (a lot of things are way overpriced) or you just feel entitled (Ms Stone) but that never makes it ok to steal, ever. It really is crazy that you get to a certain point in your career that is incredibly financially rewarding and it coincides with people sending you lots of free crap (and by crap I mean both good, great and awful free goods.)

Sometimes those "free costume" clauses are limited. Also these days producers are supposed to give a 1099 to the IRS, aren't they?

Once when I was working on a film the assistant producer offered me an entire room of furniture from the set if I'd stop pushing him to provide some required legal docs. When I refused he complained that I was uncooperative. Sigh -- it was really nice furniture, too.

I had the unpleasant experience of speaking with Ms.Stone via phone. She could not get a 75k charge approved at a store because her account was flagged as a "professional refunder" (meaning,returning 3rd party goods and/or stolen merchandise to a store then trying to use the credit balance refund for other "things"). She threatened to get me fired - haha, didn't work.The company closed her credit card.

THANK you for that story, @Agent**It! Too funny!!

Sherry said...

Oh Agent IT too juicy!

@Discobitch-I think you answered a blind from a few days ago.

Naive here- how do you pull that off without receipt(s)?

I especially love how celebrities demand free tickets to charity events. I heard Billy Bob Thorton did this for an opening at LACMA. How cesspool-y.

Agent**It said...

@Mango- you and I would not get away with it !! But what she does is return it without a receipt , it's a designer item and higher end store, and they do not want to deal with her. So they just give her the current selling price of the item. Then the credit she gets either sits on her account if she owes 0 and then she goes to another store to use it. Or, if she has a current bill (and some of these people have huge balances) it gets applied as a credit from her debits. Hope I explained that OK. You would not believe some of the crap they pull.
