The Nanny Diaries sounds entertaining, at least to people like me who'd love a peek into the real world of celebrities with all the wealth, opulence, waste, and farfetched demands of spoiled divas. How can anyone resist that? Even though it stars Scarlett Johansson, who I'm sure you've figured out, isn't a fav of mine, it is based on real stories of real nannies to the stars. And according to real nannies, it's based more on fact than fiction.
Page Six has a list of short horror stories from the actual celebutard nannies and it reads like a comedy of horrors.
"I was permitted to only use one bathroom in the house - there were nine others," says Jane, a nanny for the rich and fabulous who asked to remain anonymous in order to protect her job.
"I was told not to spend more than $10 on lunch for myself. Meanwhile, I would take the kids on thousand-dollar shopping sprees at FAO Schwarz," reports a former Fifth Avenue nanny who also wishes to remain anonymous. She has since moved on to a happier Park Avenue gig.
"After reading a grocery list of my tasks for the day, [my employer] threw the paper in my face and poked me with her pen," cries another nanny, who wants to remain anonymous due to a lawsuit she is filing against her former boss.
Ahhh, if only they'd give us names. Still...I'm excited about the prospect of who my mind can conjur up to fit these tales of Park Avenue woe. I don't delude myself into thinking this movie will be a good movie. I just want a peek, dammit, and I'm hoping it's as entertaining as the peek into the fashion world of The Devil Wears Prada. I really hope they didn't ruin my cheap voyeristic thrill with too much pouty Scarlett finding herself and true love. I just want to see rich bitches being stupid and Hollywoods children being complete spoiled brats. Oh, and maybe Scarlett will fall down in poop or get gum in her hair. Yeah, that'd be good too.

If you don't want to watch the movie, you could read the book. I did and it was really funny. But it's not really about celebrities kids, at least the book's not.
