Okay, so, Dakota. She forgot her passport, all the way in LA in the middle of traffic hour, So we had to delay the flight, and she still didn’t make it back. But I made fun of her the next time she flew out — she laughed and was super polite.

Smells amazing. Looks photoshopped in real life. Didn’t eat one thing from the aircraft, didn’t drink one thing from the aircraft. She only brought her spring water. She was kind.

This is another one where unfortunately I did not have the best experience with them, She used to come in all the time and was pretty cold toward staff. She also usually has someone else speak for her and doesn’t speak directly to staff.

I kind of had a bad experience with him, He and his friends called after we were closed and insisted on a table, and kind of pulled a ‘Do you know who I am?’ moment.”

Jonah Hill – Described By A Waitress

Now this one was confusing, when I met him, he was standing in the doorway, holding the door open, going, ‘Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.’ It was either he was trying to get attention, or he was just trying to say thank you. Actually couldn’t figure it out. Weird interaction.

Jessica Alba – Described By A Designer

I had several friends of mine work on set with her, for a show. ‘She’s not nice’ is a phrase that we can use. She loves to rub hummus on her dress. Playing mind games on you. She does this thing where she talks to you while not talking to you.

Jason Derulo does not know the lyrics to Christmas songs and he had to write the lyrics on his hand, it was kind of embarrassing.
