For celebrities, it's not hard to lose sight of the little people. While it can't be easy to be the center of attention, stars have the choice to either be cool about their fans' overzealous adulation or to be a total celebri-jerk about it. Here are some A-listers who, allegedly, have done some pretty terrible things to us pathetic, regular people.

For celebrities, it's not hard to lose sight of the little people. While it can't be easy to be the center of attention, stars have the choice to either be cool about their fans' overzealous adulation or to be a total celebri-jerk about it. Here are some A-listers who, allegedly, have done some pretty terrible things to us pathetic, regular people.
When it comes to the world of celebrities, it's not always "what you see is what you get." In fact, it's usually quite the opposite. Celebs are people too, and when they're not on-set or in front of the camera, they're usually, y'know, actual people.
Not every celebrity can say they hold the heartwarming title of "Hollywood's Nice Guy," like industry vet Tom Hanks and so-called "internet boyfriend" Keanu Reeves. On one side are the stars everyone loves working with, while the other boasts some of the most arrogant and shady of A-listers that popular peers simply can't stand. Somewhere in the middle are those famous faces who might hide behind the guise of their public persona, shaking hands, posing with fans, and never once taking off the PR mask they so cleverly wear.
It's almost impossible not to love the characters on our favorite TV shows, even if they're decidedly awful. Seinfeld, whose cast of self-centered misfits might just be the most selfish non-villains in TV history, has earned a reported $3.1 billion since entering syndication in 1995. There's no other way to shake it: we love watching terrible people on the small screen, but the truth is, we might not want to actually meet them in real life.
In Hollywood, a little bit of self-confidence goes a long way — and a lot of it goes even further. An overly robust ego is practically a job requirement in the wayward world of showbiz, and the industry is crawling with stars who could benefit from a generous slice of humble pie (or two).
