Top 10 Celebrity Secrets
1. ANGELINA JOLIE
She claims she’s toned down her wild side since settling down with Brad Pitt, but an old pal of Ange’s says the star ‘can’t hide the crazy’. In fact, the 36-year-old’s strange habits freak out the staff. ‘When [her] kids get cuts and scrapes, she saves their discarded bandages,’ the friend says. ‘She thinks she’s being edgy and artistic, but to others, she just seems weird.’ Ange is also said to be a tough boss. An ex-staffer tells In Touch: ‘One time, a young assistant was pleading and crying to keep her job, but Angelina coldly turned her away.’
2. SURI CRUISE
She has a bag collection to die for and chooses her own clothes – so it’s little wonder Suri, five, has a reputation for being a mini-diva. ‘Because Suri is being raised a Scientologist, both Katie and Tom have to treat her like an adult’, an ex-employee tells Life & Style. ‘They never tell her anything – they ask… When she demands a manicure at 9pm, she gets it.’ Another insider adds: ‘Tom dotes on Suri. He lets her do anything she wants, from eating cupcakes for breakfast to drawing on the walls. He never says no to her.’ And one source tells the National Enquirer that Suri can throw quite a tantrum if she doesn’t get her way: ‘She’s learnt that she can manipulate people a lot easier if she plays the pestering princess.’

3. JULIA ROBERTS
Julia may be an eco-aware celeb, but it seems her green crusade is at the expense of a commitment to personal hygiene. The 44- year-old star has admitted her grooming regimen doesn’t include deodorants, and there are times she doesn’t even use soap and water! ‘Julia is a total hippie,’ a former bodyguard tells Star. ‘She’ll go days without showering. She likes to save water – she’s really green.’ Saving cents makes ‘scents’ to Julia. ‘She likes the smell of her natural oils. She also says that she can’t wash her hair too often because it’s dry.’ The bodyguard says Julia’s husband Danny Moder shares her ‘better green than clean’ philosophy. ‘He doesn’t care because he’s just as much of a hippie. Those two are the farthest thing away from Hollywood glamour. They’re grunge all the way.’

4. ALL IN A DAY'S WORK (LEE WEAVER)
One of Hollywood’s most sought-after bodyguards has lifted the lid on a 20-year career protecting A-list celebrities. Lee Weaver, 53, tells New Idea the inside story on his former employers, including Sylvester Stallone and Eddie Murphy. ‘I had to save Eddie’s life once,’ Lee says of a dramatic fight in an LA club where he once worked. Catching an attacker’s fist in his giant hand, Lee impressed Eddie so much he was offered the job as his bodyguard on the spot. ‘I never looked back,’ Lee says. ‘Eddie told me: “I need a guy like you.” I went from driving a beat-up car to a Rolls-Royce. And I got to live in his $20 million mansion. It was Cher’s old house!’
Working for Eddie Murphy, Lee reveals he once had a bizarre encounter at Neverland with Michael Jackson’s chimp, Bubbles. ‘All of a sudden, Bubbles punched me in the leg, then he does it again, harder!’ Lee says. ‘I started to panic. I could feel his strength. So I reached into my coat for my gun!’ Michael dragged Bubbles away as Eddie joked: ‘Could you imagine what would have happened if you shot Bubbles?’
Working as a Hollywood minder, Lee spent time on the film set of Demolition Man, where he witnessed Sylvester Stallone and Sandra Bullock re-enact scenes from Rocky – in their underwear! ‘I’m a lady, but I got excited because he has a beautiful body,’ Sandra confessed to him.

5. JENNIFER LOPEZ
J.Lo is believed to be quite a diva, with an on-set source from her new film, What to Expect When You’re Expecting, saying the 42-year-old ‘wouldn’t talk to anyone directly’, reports the New York Daily News. Her assistants also have their work cut out for them, judging by an ad for staff. According to Life & Style, Jennifer was looking for a person who has ‘thick skin’ and could ‘be on call 24/7’. The ad also reportedly said the star required an employee who would ‘know when J.Lo has her snack time. She won’t say she’s hungry, you’re just expected to have food waiting.’ The assistant must also keep the singer’s darkest secret: a source reveals she wears ‘three – or even four – pairs of super-slimming Spanx at a time’.
