(AP Photo/ABC, Michael Desmond) Since divas always want to be the center of attention, The Frisky devoted an entire list to them. Eight ladies with bad on-set reputations: Paris Hilton: Played herself—for just one day of shooting—in The Other Guys, yet still had three pages of demands including live lobsters prepared fresh and a bottle of Grey Goose vodka.

Ellen Pompeo: Was such a pain during the first season of Grey’s Anatomy, she was nicknamed “Pompous Pompeo”—she even insisted on being interviewed separately from the rest of the cast . Faye Dunaway: She also earned herself a nickname—“the dreaded Dunaway”—on the set of Roman Polanski’s Chinatown. Supposedly, tantrums were involved.
