  • Tara Reid (Tom Briglia/FilmMagic)What's a celeb to do when she's treated like -- gasp! -- a regular person and not a superstar?

    In such situations, many Hollywood types do exactly what Tara Reid and Reese Witherspoon did recently and invoke the bratty phrase, "Do you know who I am?," to mixed results.

    The famous typically receive special treatment in many, many ways, but that isn't always the case. Just ask Reid, Witherspoon, and a few other divas who've claimed special privilege because of their celebrity.

    Situation: While shopping at the high-end AllSaints store on Robertson Boulevard in Los Angeles last week, Reid reportedly yelled at staff members when she wasn't given a discount on an outfit she was buying to wear at Coachella for … being famous. (AllSaints declined to comment, and Reid's rep did not immediately respond.) However, the rep who was with her at AllSaints explained to the New York Post that, "Tara gets a huge discount with AllSaints in the U.K. and Paris because she's a walking billboard for

  • The world's most beautiful (and most hated!) woman. (Splash News)Gwyneth Paltrow may have just had the honor of world’s most beautiful woman bestowed upon her by People magazine, but she won another, less coveted, title recently: most hated celebrity.

    You probably get the "most beautiful" part: tall, thin, blond, perfect teeth, perfect skin. But if the "most hated" part has you scratching your head (who could hate the girl from "Shallow Hal" who used to date Brad Pitt and won an Academy Award?), allow us to explain.

    Thanks to Gwyneth’s recent stab at becoming a lifestyle/nutrition/fashion/travel/parenting expert with her personal blog, paid apps, multiple cookbooks, advice-laden interviews, and strong feelings about gluten, the mom of two has been sharing her tips and tricks with the world, proving along the way to be a bit out of touch with the way most of the population lives and landing herself a reputation as an elitist.

    No “I’m a celebrity, but I’m just like you, average working mom!” fakery here. More like "I’m a celebrity, but I’m just like you, wealthy person who can afford a personal trainer and is probably looking for a good organic wine bar to visit during your next jaunt to Paris."

    Read on for the top 10 examples of why the Oscar winner ticks off the rest of us.

  • Lindsay Lohan and Alec Baldwin (Twitter)It's T-minus nine days until Lindsay Lohan heads to rehab and how is she spending her time? Why snapping selfies with Alec Baldwin!

    With her court-mandated rehab stint set to begin on May 2, the 26-year-old made sure to get her Broadway fix before being locked away for 90 days. On Tuesday, she took in a performance of "Orphans" at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theater in Manhattan -- and made her way backstage after the show.

  • Gwyneth Paltrow (Getty Images)By now, you've probably read that People magazine has selected Gwyneth Paltrow as their "World's Most Beautiful Woman" in 2013. And as with every subjective choice, not everyone agrees with the decision to put Paltrow on the cover.

    [Related: Why Do People Hate Gwyneth?]

    As popular as Paltrow is in many circles, the 40-year-old "Iron Man 3" actress also has many detractors. In a new omg! poll, 74% of our readers think she was the wrong choice, 13% believe she was the right choice, and 13% remain undecided. Over 37,000 of our readers have voted in just the first few hours since we posted the poll.
    "Omg! Insider's" Nina Parker has been looking closely at online reaction Wednesday. She points out that, "It's not that people dislike Gwyneth, it's that they just don't relate to her. A lot of what she does comes across strange to people living outside Hollywood -- that's why so many people love a girl like Jennifer Lawrence because they know women like her. While Gwyneth is beautiful -- people in general online haven't loved the idea of her gracing the cover."

  • Jason Segel (Getty Images)We can't say whether or not Jason Segel is in touch with his feminine side, but he's certainly familiar with his inner child.

    The 33-year-old actor just signed a deal to pen a series of children's books called "Nightmares!" for Random House imprint Delacorte Press Books For Young Readers. The first book of the trilogy is set to hit shelves in fall 2014.

    Of course, this isn't the first time the "How I Met Your Mother" star has put pen to paper in order to entertain us. He wrote -- and starred in -- "The Muppets," "The Five-Year Engagement," and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall," after all.

  • Stars Who Started on Soap Operas

    While soap operas have traditionally been mocked for their ridiculous story lines and bad acting, in reality it's quite a difficult genre (have you ever seen how many pages of dialogue they have to learn on a daily basis?!) where many of Hollywood's biggest stars have gotten their big breaks.

    Before hitting the big screen in "Ghost" and "G.I. Jane," Demi Moore was honing her acting skills on the small screen, playing Jackie Templeton, a reporter on "General Hospital" in the early '80s.

    Julianne Moore, Meg Ryan, and Marisa Tomei also spent part of the '80s perfecting their craft on "As the World Turns." Julianne played a dual roles as half-sisters Frannie and Sabrina Hughes, while Meg portrayed Betsy Stewart, and Marisa played Marcy Thompson.

    Ryan Philippe joined the soap scene in 1992 as "One Life to Live's" Billy Douglas, the first gay teen on daytime television. He then started landing roles in such films as "White Squall" (1996), "I Know What You Did Last Summer" (1997), and "Cruel Intentions" (1999).

  • Mariah Carey and her twins on April 23. (Twitter)
    Chez Mariah Carey was hopping on Tuesday as the "American Idol" judge hosted a popcorn and pajama party for her twins.

    It was sitting room only in the 43-year-old's bed as she snuggled in with Moroccan and Monroe, who will turn 2 next month, for movie night. Outfitted in matching jammies, they snacked on popcorn while they waited to start a movie.

    “Hurry up Daddy! Ms Monroe, Roc Starr & Mommy Mimi wait patiently,” Carey tweeted, along with this cute pic of them in bed.

    She later posted a photo of "daddy" -- better known as Nick Cannon. In it, the "America's Got Talent" host is holding Roc, and of course

  • Schwing! The "Wayne's World" cast has reunited! The gang from the '90s cult classic comedy was "partying on" Tuesday night in Los Angeles at a screening and panel for the film, and let's just say it looked like no time had past. “No Way. Way!”

    While Dana Carvey and Mike Myers have reprised their roles as Wayne and Garth on "Saturday Night Live" since the movie came out, this is the first time they've reunited with the rest of the cast in 21 years. Bonus! Everyone was all smiles palling around on the red carpet, and even Rob Lowe did an "extreme close-up," planting a big kiss on Mike's cheek. Tia Carrere -- who is now 46, but still a “total babe” just like her former character Cassandra -- was so excited about the reunion she tweeted, "Wayne & Cassandra together once more! Who's up for Wayne's World 3?" What a totally amazing excellent discovery to see the whole cast reuniting!

    Check out the video to see all about their awesome night, and tune in to "omg! Insider" on television tonight for more of the latest in entertainment.
