Happy Friday! Here’s some more Ariana Grande being a diva news to brighten up your day. Apparently the teeny tiny popstar now asks her staff to carry her around like a baby when she doesn’t feel like walking.
According to this week’s InTouch magazine, Ariana’s new ‘rule’ is that, ‘she has to be carried – literally carried like a baby – when she doesn’t feel like walking. She says that she doesn’t want her precious feet to hit the floor.’
Obviously her reps have denied the story, telling Gossip Cop that it’s ‘fake’. But WAIT, clever Jezebel commenter Yawn has managed to dig up some proof from Ariana’s very own Instagram that this claim might not be as outlandish as it seems....
Whew.
Ranking: Pretty bad, but still not quite Kanye-heights. Unless Ariana says something like, ‘When someone comes up and says something like, “I am a god,” everybody says, “Who does he think he is?” I just told you who I thought I was. A god. I just told you.’
Saying she wants her fans to f*cking die
Ah. Now. Ariana. After getting in a lift for a radio interview in NYC, a stunned industry insider told The New York Daily News: ‘She did autographs and pics and was all smiles until she got into the elevator, and as soon as the doors shut she said, “I hope they all f—king die.”’ Now, love, not even Kanye badmouths his fans unless they’re wearing flip-flops and happen to be black (‘No flip flops for black dudes. I don’t care where you at’), and even then, it’s tongue in cheek.
Ranked: If this is true, it’s surely on a par with Kanye saying he is Google. Or maybe even surpasses it a bit, because it’s such a gross, negative thing to say. For anyone interested, Kanye said, ‘I am Warhol! I am the number one most impactful artist of our generation. I am Shakespeare in the flesh. Walt Disney, Nike, Google.’
Screaming when she’s thirsty
OK, so while saying your fans should fucking die is probably worse in terms of negativity – there’s something really, really galling about a person who screams ‘WATER!’ when they’re thirsty at a woman who follows her everywhere while holding a water bottle. This is exactly what Star magazine is reporting that she does, and we all know that everything reported about a celebrity is 100 per cent true. Alright, but if it’s true then this is pretty gross.
**Ranked: **On behalf of her poor assistant, we rate this as Total, Pure, Triple Distilled Diva. Because everyone can hold a water bottle.
