Actress Scarlett Johansson reportedly snubbed the premiere of her new film "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" at the Cannes Film Festival after movie executives refused to cater to her diva-like demands.
The "Lost In Translation" star was expected to walk the red carpet at Cannes on Saturday, but skipped the prestigious premiere in the midst of rumors that the production's distributors, executives in the French division of Warner Bros Films, denied her excessive and extravagant hospitality requests. The executives reportedly spent weeks negotiating with the blonde beauty's representatives.
According to British newspaper the Daily Mail, Johansson's demands to seal her appearance included an $8,000 a day make-up artist and her refusal to stay at a lavish hotel located in the heart of Cannes where director Allen and co-star Cruz were staying. Instead, she requested a suite at a hotel 30 miles away.
A source told the Daily Mail, "While Woody's terribly fond of Scarlett, he was a little upset that she wasn't being a team player."
Johansson stars in the Woody Allen flick with Penelope Cruz and Spanish Oscar-winner Javier Bardem. Bardem also missed the premiere citing personal family reasons for not attending.
