Shirley MacLaine not so enlightened |

This an odd little bit of goss. Julia Roberts and Shirley MacLaine are working together on the romantic-comedy Valentine’s Day, which basically stars half of Hollywood.
Word is it’s supposed to be a Love, Actually-esque multi-storied romantical chic flick and thus far, we’ve seen on-set photos of everyone from Julia Roberts, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Garner, Eric Dane, and Jessica Alba, and the IMDB website says cast includes Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Taylor Lautner, Patrick Dempsey, Topher Grace (THAT 70’S SHOW – WHO BTW IS ABOUT TO START PRODUCING A TV VERSION OF 80’S CLASSIC ST ELMO’S FIRE – I LOVED THAT MOVIE), Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx, and Taylor Swift.
Anyhoo, Julia and Shirley MacLaine had some scenes together, and when their turn filming wrapped, the crew gave Julia a champagne toast and a standing ovation. Shirley, however, was not toasted. Naturally, there was a 'source' handy to elaborate, “She was such a rude, nasty pain in the butt the whole time,” the insider revealed. “They decided to skip the toast for Shirley.”
Plausable given Shirley MacLaine has a reputation for having the personality of a puff adder. But given that each section only takes about a week of filming, how big a biarch can she really be in a week?
