Vin Diesel was on the cusp of becoming a mega star when his career suddenly tanked. He walked away from the “Fast and the Furious” franchise that made him famous, then did the same for the “XXX” movies. After a few disastrous films, including a turn in a Disney movie, Diesel returned to his roots with a new “Fast and Furious” sequel - but don’t expect a big star like Vin to actually show up on time to his press interviews or anything.
Vin Diesel is such a prima donna, his own publicity company can’t even deal with him anymore.
Diesel was scheduled to do a long press junket for his upcoming flick Fast & Furious on Sunday, but he infuriated the event organizers when he decided to show up late and act like a diva.
“No one could get a hold of him,” an insider told Page Six. “He didn’t pick up his phone and it wasn’t until a Universal executive called that he finally picked up and used the lame excuse, ‘I’m sick.’ ”
Four hours later he showed up to the press junket and “didn’t look sick. But he did do a couple hours of press.”
Apparently his publicist at 42 West was so annoyed by the incident, the firm no longer represents him.
You would think someone like Diesel, whose star is quickly burning out, would be more open to doing press and getting better recognition, but it sounds like his ego has become bigger than his triceps.
When will these stars learn? Have the new generation of actors learned nothing from Mickey Rourke’s career? Vin Diesel is nowhere near talented enough to get away with this crap. He should be thankful that anyone even remembers him anymore. But all that aside, this new movie will probably -sadly- do well at the box office. Which will only reinforce his large ego! Hey, I wonder if Vin took Dr. Drew’s narcissism quiz?

Wow. Am I the only one who thinks it’s sad that what? 10 years after the first one? They’re all so strapped for gigs that they had to jump on this?

For someone who hasn’t had a great career after the first movie, he should watch his toes.

I don’t know about you but when I am sick and can’t show up for work, I call ahead. Not refuse to take anyone’s calls after I am already late.
Maybe that’s just me.
That man had better hop on whatever gravy train he can. His looks are quickly declining.

Yep he reminds me of my future 2nd husband. All sexy and fine. Now 4 years later as we are about to finally marry he has no time for me. Not for sex or at least to go to bed with me. Flash in the pan doesn’t last.
