The Bourbon and Dettol Chronicles

Big stars have odd quirks.

Big stars have odd quirks. A leading actress and former beauty queen demanded that her make-up van be stocked with several bottles of Dettol handwash, and half a dozen packets of Bourbon chocolate biscuits, before she arrived at a suburban studio for a magazine photo-shoot last week.

The married star, who has put on some weight recently, refused to allow stylists to hang around while she tried out the designer outfits laid out. Only her old friend and faithful make-up guru Mickey Contractor stayed inside while she slipped into the fancy togs, many of which she allegedly had difficulty squeezing into because of the inches she’s gained.

After a hectic shoot that lasted all afternoon, the actress changed back into her tracks and left for home. The Bourbon biscuits had been devoured, and the Dettol handwash bottles had vanished. That’s not all. A car she’d asked to be hired for her security staff wasn’t returned until the next morning.
