Before the Lakers big win, P Diddy sat courtside at a game wearing a Yankee hat. The jumbotron camera was cruising around looking for front row celebrities to show on the big screen and it picked up his image. The crowd loudly BOOED. Whether the crowd was booing HIM or his HAT isn’t known, but Diddy was FURIOUS. At halftime he made a scene and chewed out the guy in charge of the jumbotron in full view of everyone. He yelled “HOW DARE you! Don’t EVER put me up on that screen without my PERMISSION! You have to set it up with MY people!” The jumbotron guy was NOT happy. The following Sunday, Diddy arrived at the game with his son and they were all decked out in Laker hats, colors, and logos. They sat courtside but never appeared on the jumbotron, like other famous faces did. At halftime Diddy approached the same jumbotron guy and whined “C’mon, man, why don’t you put me onscreen? I’m here with my son!” The guy looked at Diddy and said “No! After last time – NEVER again!” And he meant it.

Celebrities at Laker games line up to file into the exclusive chairman’s lounge during halftime and Rihanna was in the crowd with Mark Wahlberg. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tobey McGuire among others. She had an over-zealous little PR woman or handler yelling at everyone to get out of the way for Rihanna. The bossy woman barreled through the polite line of celebs, pushing them aside and yelling to one and all “Don’t touch her! Don’t look at her! Leave her alone!” P.Diddy attempted to say hello to Rihanna but the woman scolded him, “Don’t talk to her – wait till we get inside!” Even Rihanna cringed.

Sean Stewart has apparently forgotten his manners altogether as he waits to cross the street to have lunch at La Scala in Beverly Hills. He’s chatting with a female friend and obliviously scratching his crotch at the same time. Even in his wildest days, his father Rod Stewart had good manners. Rehab wasn’t enough – Sean needs charm school too.

It’s never too soon to start teaching your little girl how to behave in public. Katie Holmes demonstrates to Suri how to sit like a lady no matter where the photographers are. Suri appears to be a fast learner. This skill might come in handy some day when Suri climbs out of a limo.

THE CHINESE ARE CUTTING BACK ON SMOKING, CURSING, AND SPITTING, FOR THE DURATION OF THE OLYMPICS
Filed Under: Architecture > Manners > Olympics
We had no idea that Beijing is bending over backwards to make their city appealing to foreigners for the Olympic summer games starting August 8. The 43 billion dollar event called for a new stadium, architectural airport terminal, and new transportation lines.
Beijing is notoriously polluted and the Chinese don’t want contestants choking, so they are cutting the city traffic in half. Work hours are being staggered, and if the last number on a car’s license plate is even, they can drive one day, and the odd numbers can drive the next. Forty million pots of flowers were ordered and a forest TWICE the size of Central Park was created near the Olympic stadium to improve air quality.
Restaurants are setting aside smoking areas and taking DOG off the menu. 90,000 taxi drivers got special training and etiquette lessons are flourishing. 17 million people took an online manners course that bans spitting in public and encourages people to stand in line politely for the bus.
The government is chasing “undesirables” out of town – beggars, migrants, masseuses, fortunetellers, street vendors etc – for the duration of the event. 1.5 million people have been moved to make space for Olympic projects (and they don’t dare complain.) DVD stores have been told to keep their pirated Hollywood movies out of sight. It IS endearing, in some twisted way, that they want to make such a good impression. (Photos above are the airport and stadium)

When you invite the exquisite Dita Von Teese to a party or event, you get more than your money’s worth. Every public appearance counts for her and Dita dresses lavishly and appropriately. It’s a huge compliment to the host. She makes any event seem more important just because she dresses up for it. No sloppy jeans or flip flops or baseball caps for her. And she’s always friendly and smiles and poses for the cameras. Dita is one of a kind.

VICTORIA BECKHAM CHARMED AN AIRPLANE FULL OF PEOPLE
Filed Under: Manners > Victoria Beckham > airplane
On Sunday, Victoria Beckham flew from LAX to Newark for meetings about her fashion business in New York and we learned a lot about her flying habits. She arrived at the airport immaculately attired in a form fitting little outfit and very high heels. (Always camera ready!)
When she and several companions boarded the plane she immediately changed into sweats and sneakers for the flight. (THAT’S how she looks so fresh when she arrives!) She sat in first class with her hairdresser (possibly named Rudolfo) and the other people she was with sat in coach. Flight attendants were wary at first, but Posh was very friendly and talkative and completely won them over. (They were all drooling over her amazing red ostrich handbag.)
Victoria only had water and Diet Pepsi during the 5 and ½ hour trip – NO food. During dinner Victoria was back in coach gabbing with her companions and she sent a bodyguard up to her seat to eat her meal. She chatted with everyone seated around her both in coach and first class. Flight attendants and other travelers were surprised at her accessibility and good humor. Before the flight ended Victoria dressed up in her tight clothes and high heels and disembarked looking cool and collected.

HOW CELEBRITIES SHOP REVEALS A LOT ABOUT THEM
Filed Under: Cash Warren > Djimon Hounsou > Gabriel Aubry > Halle Berry > Heidi Klum > Jessica Alba > Kimora Lee Simmons > Manners > Shopping
Bristol Farms food emporium in Beverly Hills attracts a fair share of celebrities and employees there have definite opinions about their famous customers. Among their favorite shoppers are Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry, and Jessica Alba and Cash Warren – they’re always friendly and polite. By far, the LEAST popular celebrity who shops the store is Heidi Klum. She is stunning to look at, but demanding and rude to the staff. Sources say Heidi butts to the front of lines and browbeats the clerks trying to help her. Yes, beautiful Heidi is described as “pushy and unpleasant.” But here’s a surprise: the clerks’ absolute FAVORITE celebrities are Kimora Lee Simmons and her boyfriend Djimon Hounsou!
“They’re sweet and talk to everyone, and they make out while they’re waiting in line at the deli.”

PARIS HILTON SMOKES POT ALL DAY AND DOESN'T WALK HER DOG

Paris Hilton was hired to do a photo layout for German Vanity Fair last week and we got inside scoop on how the shoot went. It took place in a luxurious private home in LA. She was scheduled to be shot at 9 AM with a group of kids, but Paris showed up 45 minutes late and insisted on sleeping in her car for 45 more minutes before walking in, carrying her dog, wearing her bathrobe and slippers. She insisted on smoking pot ALL day and the homeowner had to request that she do it in the yard, NOT in the house. The bedroom that served as Paris’s dressing room was covered with blankets to protect the carpet and bed. “She was really in a daze and didn’t communicate with anyone – not even the photographer who had worked with her before.” When Paris left, the room she had used was a mess. The blankets were cast aside and there were blonde hair extensions all over the carpet, food spilled everywhere, rings on the tables, and her dog peed on the bed!

ANDERSON COOPER : CHIVALRY IS NOT DEAD!
Filed Under: Anderson Cooper > Manners
Anderson Cooper flew his usual route from NYC to LA to work at CNN and the flight was crowded but he managed to get a first class seat. During the flight he happened to notice attendants talking to a very pregnant woman in coach who was obviously uncomfortable in the tight quarters. There were no empty seats to move her to so the chivalrous journalist offered to switch seats with her even though she was in coach. The woman was grateful and flabbergasted. Cooper proceeded to chat politely with his seatmates and he was friendly with the children. He even played with a toddler in the aisle for a few minutes before the flight attendant advised him to take his seat. A few passengers good-naturedly booed her.
