From Jeanette Walls' Scoop column, published yesterday:
Some stars aren t on their best behavior when they re below the border. Brazilian mag Contigo grilled a bunch of celeb journalists and junketeers, and here are their musings on a few, according to our translator.
Andy Garcia: "A great disappointment," said the unnamed journalist. "I thought he was charming and interesting and at the Ocean s 11 junket I met a plain man, fat, thrown in a chair with an ugly jacket."
Junketeering journalists are widely regarded as sycophants who write fluffy prose about movie stars in exchange for access and free travel. It's too bad they don't share their true, warts-and-all impressions of Hollywood A-listers. Two veteran, New York-based junketeers have confided their real feelings to PAGE SIX and their appraisals aren't pretty [...] Additionally, the Brazilian celebrity magazine Contigo excavated these junketeers' comments about other stars:
Andy Garcia is "a great disappointment. I thought he would be charming and interesting. But at the 'Ocean's Eleven' junket, I met a plain man in an ugly jacket who was fat and slung into a chair."
At least Jeanette Walls used a translator.
