Diva, Party Of One
Filed under: Canadialand > Mike Meyers
Mike Meyers has a bit of a reputation for being a biyatch (not to mention neurotic), and he definitely lived up to expectations this week!
The comedian made an appearance on NBC's Late Night With Conan O'Brien on Wednesday to promote The Love Guru.
However, an insider says he was driving the staff backstage crazy.
According to reports, Mike "sent a team of interns on a wild goose chase for Silk nondairy creamer, Twizzlers and raspberry seltzer. Then he sent one of the interns back out to get him a new drink when he realized his seltzer was not the brand he requested."
It doesn't sound too crazy or diva-ish, actually.
Why didn't he just send his boyfriend to go get it all???

This is going to be FUNNY!!!
get the man his seltzer, damnit!!
He's a very Talented Man! Love Him!
frist?
first??
Yeah, I mean, it's not like he pulled a JLo and said no one could make eye contact with him. So he wanted Twizzlers. Big deal. That's not the craziest demand from a celebrity. You want diva? Just look at Mariah Carey.
No one cares…. Go get a real job, fatty.
numero one? Stupid story!
He's a real star and MAN- jealous PEREZ????
Um, yes he is being a Diva! Perez it sounds like you are turning Diva too if you think thats ok…
silk non dairy creamer, twizzlers, and raspberry seltzer? Sounds like some kind of new fangled nasty cocktail. Sometimes its just easier to get things yourself if you want it done right. But then my palate is not that discerning, I would probably not be able to tell the difference between a fifty cent store bought brand of seltzer and a $10 bottle of the finest.
those are not hard-to-find items.
As a PA or intern you should know EXACTLY what it is your talent is asking for; these requests are not diva'ish at all. You can find ANYTHING in New York City. In fact, those interns should be fired.
Maybe it's not as bad as some celebrities, but I could never get away with ordering someone around for the right brand. His feet aren't on the ground, clearly.
1stttttt
yeah he could have wanted someone to massage his left nut while another danced for him…..
First HA!
One day perez someone is going to beat your ass and it will be well deserved.
Also, you can get all of those things at any convenience stores - people are morons. A goose chase? They're in New York City - unbelievable, stop complaining - you're an intern it's your job to fetch things.
Not that the movie doesn't look like the worst thing ever ever ever ever.
man mike myers is such a fucking fag.
What's with celebrities like him thinking that they deserve to treat people like crap? If he wanted that stuff so bad he should have brought it to the studio himself. And Mike Myers is one of the most UNfunny 'comedians' out there anyway. Stick a Twizzler up your ass, dickwad.
Must be nice to act like an a$$hole and get away with it! What a jerk!
Wild Goose Chase? You can get all of those products at just about every grocery store…
"The Love Goo"
that movie sucks ass
I hope Conan O'brien's people leaked this info out so that people can read how bad and petty some celebrities can be out there. I hear CO is one of the nicest talk show hosts out there.
Not diva - BFD, Silk is easily found at any supermarket, so is Twizzlers, I should know I buy them every week, don't know what "brand" of raspberry seltzer he wanted but that is also easily found - MM and me have a lot in common, I like him even more now…. Hmmm, MM or JA, don't tell me JA isn't a bigger diva and bigger pain in the ass
I love Mike Meyers and I really loved Austin Powers…I heard he can be a bitch but Perez, are you saying that he is GAY?
The movie industry's drug haze tends to produce comedy that is unfunny, and the thicker the haze, the more unfunny the comedy. Mike Meyers' work is beginning to look this way, and his behavior too.
just a matter of time for any celeb to start acting like a baby!!!! Once you got cash then others suck your ass in a pathetic atempt to be bestowed some of your wealth!!
i hate it when celebs act this way.
I thought he was just a humble boy from Canada eh?
I've actually met Mike a few times. He's not a diva and he's definitely NOT GAY! Why do you think everyone is gay? He's a vegetarian though which is probably why he'd want non-dairy creamer. WOULDN'T YOU, PETABOY? Get a life!
Re: Iknow –
Perez didn't come up with that on his own. He's telling you what he has been told.
Who cares? All actors make such demands with appearances — and Silk soy milk is in every supermarket, as are Twizzlers and seltzer — hardly cause for a "wild goose chase." How is this a story?
Ohhhh, Perez!!!!! You just outed Mike Myers!!! I'm glad! This is one who seems to be hiding in plain sight and no one ever said shit about it, while other actors, celebs are catching hell out here. Fuck Mike Myers. He got all rich and famous and he acts like a fucking asshole and mistreats people. I think if he was finally out in th open, he would make peace with himself and be a nicer person. Out that little fucker. It's for his own good! Ha. Ha.
Well, at least the guy drinks SILK! Dairy is GROSS, not to mention an environmental nightmare. Learn all about it here: www.milksucks.com.
I'm just here to get the free olive garden dinner for two.
Mike Meyers is gay??
Yup!!
I knew
it,
he's
gay!!!
It's more of a case of Meyers being obsessive compulsive. Too bad, he should have been more concerned with making a better movie.
Re: FReal –
yes you go boy!!!!!!!!
defend your boyfriend!!!
hahaha fag!!
I've had the pleasure of meeting Mike Myers at the Museum subway stop in Toronto, he started the conversation by asking what book I was reading and was the nicest, funniest person I've ever met. I don't believe these lies…bullshit!
You're just jealous Mario. I heard that you acted like a diva too at your failed clothing line events. Stop being a whiny bitch for a change.
That doesn't sound the Mike Myers I used to see every weekend at a little cafe in the West Village. Mike was always super quiet, seemed shy, and never gave the waitresses a problem. His cell phone was always on vibrate and when he received a call, he took it outside. He always seemed very polite and calm.
does anyone even remember him? mike who?
Awwww, leave him alone. His character, Dieter from Sprockets, is fucking stellar.
What a little bitch Meyers is!!
His time is up this new movie is getting panned by everyone.
No need to be a diva when nobody fucking likes you anymore dude!
I was actually picked out of the audience to do a skit on Conan, and if you're on TV, you're automatically part of AFTRA. So, after the show I had to go sign papers, and if you could see the backstage of the show and relate it to this story, it makes Mike Myers so unbelievably ridiculous. Everyone's really laid back and nice, and the whole backstage is made up of all cement floors and walls and office furniture that like 20 yrs. old. Granted, I never saw the green room, but come on!
If this is true, what a bitch! Don't pull that shit Conan and his lovely staff!
The only thing I'll give him, is that it's pretty well known that he suffers from depression and is a bit neurotic. However, I don't think that gives him license to be a demanding celeb. He worked on SNL forever, and probably dealt with demanding celebs. You'd think he's be a little less anal.
His last name is Myers, not Meyers. And I only say something because my last name is also Myers and it pisses me off to no end when people freaking spell it wrong! Good God!!
LAINEY has been posting about gay Mike for-eva! Detailing his antics whilst filming in hometown Torana. Check her out.
im in an intern and that definitely didnt happen ….he had certain things he wanted…there was no wild goose chase and they were in his dressing room before he arrived and that was that…trust me we've been on wild goose chases before for much more demanding celebrities….
Oh, this drives me crazy. It's just like these arrogant musicians who present the most unrealistic riders. My response to band riders and Mike Meyers is "GET YOUR OWN FUCKING FOOD YOU SHALLOW CUNT." And what grown man eats Twizzlers?
Those aren't crazy demands! Fuck, you can get that shit at the Duane!
WHY DON'T YOU SPELL HIS NAME RIGHT?
test
I LOVE MIKE MEYERS!
HE IS A COMIC GENIUS!
whoops sry - *Myers
i knew perez had spelt it wrong lol
And omg just because Perez says he's gay DOES NOT MEAN HE'S ACTUALLY GAY!!!
Not that there'd be anything wrong with that!
Perez, Please leave Mike Myers alone. He's dead funny and a really great Canadian with nothing to hide and lots of humility.
Mike isn't gay. And asking for that stuff doesn't make him demanding. The staff should have known what he liked and had it there for him.
What's with the 1st crap? Who gives a shit if you're first???
hes gay??? like really???
sorry perez , but i mean rell-y
who cares if mikey sends those intern pplz crazi
probably tons of other actors does tat 2
(no offense.)
Mike Myers is awesome!! SCARBOROUGH REPREZENT!!! I heard that at the MuchMusicVideo Awards Perez asked for Anal Beads, Lube and a copy of TigerBeat magazine from 1974 with a pull out poster of a topless David Cassidy inside.

Disappointed in Mike Myers for acting like a DIVA. Also disappointed in him for putting out CRAP movies which I refuse to go see, like the Love Guru. People, do NOT encourage him by going to see this obviously piece-of-shit movie! Wouldn't it be great if, instead of making $14 million, this movie made $0.00 in its first weekend??? If we want to see a better class of movie, then we need to boycott these fucking shit-for-brains movies! Don't go to see bad movies; don't encourage/enable them. Wait for them on cable. Maybe then the movie industry will get back to making decent movies. Just a thought.
Again, Perez……why not site your source, the NYP????? Your readers are smarter then you think. Here is an idea, site the source and then engage your readers in a discussion. Hmmm, sounds good to me.
If Perez actually came up with one single solitary item on his own that was accurate and truthful, I would keel over from a heart attack. Either some wanker tells him shit like this that he fudges even more for a reaction from all you dopes or he just plain makes it up.
I worked at a legitimate daily newspaper for 19 years and almost everything printed contained a factual error of one sort or another. Believe me when I tell you this dipshit Perez doesn't have a clue about 95% of the shit he writes, at best he is plagiarizing it from some other dunce who got it all wrong.
I cringe everytime I read indignant and outraged posts here like everything this mutt writes is factual. WAKE UP MORONS. IT'S ALL BULLSHIT.
He's not talented enough to order people around like that. Who would create a great character idea like a love guru, then fill their movie with crotch kicks and midget jokes. What an arse!
No amount of talent is justification for acting like a spoiled cunt. Kick his punk ass back to oblivion where he belongs. He's old news.
Jessica's Hot
My God! This woman could actually DONATE about 43 of her teeth to an unfortunate, toothless person, and she'd still have too many teeth in her head.
lack of real news?
MIKE MEYERS IS GAY????? Really, I had no idea! Thanks for the shout OUT
bOYFRIEND? IS HE GAY? I ALWAYS THOUGHT HE MIGHT BE!
Mike Meyers is a nightmare to work with
I have served Myers many times of late and he has been nothing but polite and nice. He tips over the standard and never has asked for anything crazy or "Diva-like". Just sayin….
Perez, love You its Mike Myers..not meyers! =O
just to let everyone know this post is a lie…and it's not unheard of for celebrities to have riders and want specific things…let's be honest if we all had the opportunity to have exactly what we wanted, we would do the same thing.
He was totally unfunny on The Daily Show and also, a bit douchy.
Hmmmm………Perez might be a little right about the gay insinuation. Remember his portrayal of that club owner(name escapes me)in 54??? Although many straight actors play gay roles…..I don't know….he just seemed reeeeaaaalllly comfortable asking Brekin Meyer's Character for a blo-sie. Things that make you go hmmmmmm!!!!
NY Daily News blind item:
"Which divorced comic superstar is exploring a groovy new real-life persona:
That of an openly gay man"
groovy, divorced, comic superstar…..so obvious that they are talking about Mike Meyers. I wonder if he banged Elton John's husband. They went to school together.
i believe it…i worked at a recent award show he hosted (wink wink) and he was out of control…a total diva…he had the show staff running around with outragerous requests and demands…
He had the same list of demands including a large deli tray when he appeared on Radio's Opie and Anthony last week. Who the f*ck needs a deli tray at 8 in the morning?!?!
