Some celebrities think fame gives them the right to act like jerks, and frankly, some of them even believe it is expected of them. A petty mind believes that the only way to show class is to degrade others.

But these are extremes. Most celebrities are ordinary people with the same fears and desires...

They can be down and not in the mood for a selfie. So, if that happens, don’t judge them.

Want more blunt honesty, from memoirs where Hollywood gloss gets traded for real human weirdness? Read these 25 celebrity tell-alls.
