If you’re a trained housekeeper to Hollywood celebrities, most people would assume that you know how to turn any home into a spotless paradise. But according to Tom Cruise, simply cleaning his mansion isn’t enough. While he lived with Katie Holmes, Cruise maintained strict rules on how every inch of his house should be cleaned.
Housekeepers were forced to follow guidelines that differed for every room, every piece of furniture, every decoration, and more. The taxing process obviously led to rampant complaints among the cleaning staff, but their frustrations didn’t change Cruise’s approach to his household maintenance.
Paula Deen Doesn’t Know How to Party
As a cook show host, we wouldn’t really expect Paula Deen to be the life of the party. However, her laid-back lifestyle came as an unfortunate surprise to one former assistant. When the employee attended her 2013 “Cruise With Paula,” he returned with plenty of complaints about the lack of excitement on the boat.
According to the assistant, the cruise featured tiny rooms and no alcohol. However, if you’re attending an event centered around Paula Deen, you should probably expect that it will reflect her ways. Perhaps it was the assistant’s fault for expecting a party from his laid-back boss.
Christian Bale Dreams of Being Patrick Bateman
Poor Christian Bale can’t stop living in the past. According to a personal assistant, the actor loves to relive his role as Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. He’ll often call up friends and family members and recite lines from the movie, reliving the glory days while annoying the people on his contact list.
It’s totally fine to be proud of your work. However, continuing to recite lines from a character you played nearly twenty years ago is...how should we put this? Well, it’s a little psycho.
Miley Cyrus' Pets Are a Problem
Miley Cyrus certainly isn't a model employer. Beyond looking after her massive home, the housekeeper’s job is made more difficult by the pop star's pets, most of which aren't house-trained.
While Miley hardly noticed the mess her animals left behind, the housekeeper had no problem complaining about the rancid stench in the house. While it’s kind of this pet-lover to give her animals a loving home, a little training might be necessary. Don’t make your visitors suffer like that.
Selena Gomez Is the Queen of Sloppy
Although she’s generally well put together in public, Selena Gomez is far from flawless at home. Her natural state is more than a little sloppy and her home often features makeup and clothing thrown around for her housekeepers to clean up.
One former assistant claimed that Selena’s sloppiness extends far beyond her private pad. A few hours in a hotel room results in a tornado of clothes, shoes, and makeup that can take hours to clean up. Thankfully, this girl isn’t in charge of her own cleaning. If she were, entering her house might be terrifying.
