Unappreciative Snotty Celebs

Between AFI FEST and LA Unbound's fall dance show, last week was a total whirlwind! Now that I've had a few minutes to reflect and gather my thoughts, I would like to give the award for D Bag of the week to Colin Firth.
This truly saddens me to deem Mr. Firth as such, but his pompous behavior on the red carpet for the closing night gala of Tom Ford's directorial debut A Single Man was unacceptable. Since when did he become too cool for school? He walked the carpet answering questions rudely as if it was such a pain in the ass to be there, while Tom Ford spoke to every single outlet with enthusiasm and grace. Shame on you Colin Firth!
I truly despise this trend of today's unappreciative snotty celebs. Classic movie stars never behaved this way. They were gracious and kind, as evident when I interviewed Eva Marie Saint and Martin Landau for the re-release of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest.
