Why Justin Timberlake is perpetually McDonalds

Justin Timberlake, advertiser of fast foods, seems to think all dining halls work in the same way as McDonalds. Guy Rubino of New York posh-nosh-shop Rain complains:

"Timberlake comes into Rain, doesn't even look at the menu and shouts for random food that we don't make...If he knew what he wanted, why come to an Asian restaurant in the first place?"

Nelly Furtado's no better, either:
"For parties that size, we do a prix-fixe type of menu. Nelly objected and was really rude about it. She expected individual dishes to be prepared. Her manager even came into the kitchen and had the gall to say, 'Just fucking do it!' I told her that she and her client could 'just fucking LEAVE.'"

We'd probably enjoy this example of the over-confident being told that their poop has no special scent a little more if it wasn't an equally self-important chef, but it's still nice to know there are some areas in which fame can't get you special treatment.

Self-important chef or not (aren't they all?), I'd say his reaction, was perfectly justified.

I mean, I wonder how far Rubino would get if the shoe was on the other foot and he barged into this manager's office demanding tickets for one of Nelly Furtado's shows* with the phrase "just fucking do it"?

*for the purpose of illustration only. I don't actually know why anyone would want tickets for a Nelly Furtado show.

I'd like to see him get the tickets, then turn up at the gig and demand she sang his choice of Osmonds covers.
