True..what normal person wouldn't.
but celebs aren't "normal" are they?

But seriously, PR Comes w/ the job.
and this biz IS idiotic and ********
most overpaid celebs are smart about it, know this and play the game.
Not a high price condsidering the sick amounts of money these folks get paid.
Ive done my fair share of press junket stuff in my 20 plus years in this biz.
I shed NO tears for the high maintianence celebs who are bitchy about doing press..
I do a lot of film/TV stuff..ive seen an actress/ model get a 1 mil paycheck for 2 days work on a shampoo commercial and still bitch about everything ie: the long hours[10 hour days..boo hoo.]all the while being treated like the pilled up little princess that she was.[rehab shortly thereafter].
pretty typical.
i deal w/ these types almost weekly.
.. many are spoiled little pouty babies and act thusly.
Many are very nice..humble,courteous,professional,etc too.
Laughable actually,but not so funny when you see the ridiculous amounts of money being thrown at them.
sorry to sound jaded,but many times i don't want to meet my heros.

Boo Hoo,poor Billy had to do a whole 10 minutes of press.
Actually, he's probably at the golf Course/Country club hangin w/ his hot young wife laughing his ass off all the way to the bank..
