We know plenty of the public personas of the rich and famous, thanks to their constant appearances in celebrity news. They are seen going somewhere, shooting, attending red carpet events, winning at a sports tournament, and the list goes on and on. But what about those private tidbits that fans don’t usually get to see – things that the media don’t normally capture? Their staff, of course, tends to be the most knowledgeable about their boss-celebs’ private life, and here’s a bit of what they have told us about these stars’ habits in the comfort of their homes.

Jennifer Aniston is a believer of “if you got it, flaunt it”!

The gorgeous Jennifer Aniston has publicly stated in more than one occasion that she likes to walk around her house with little on. And why shouldn’t she? After all, Jennifer, who turned 50 in February 2019, is dedicated to doing exercises constantly and has a body that many 20-year-olds can only wish for. Therefore, it’s no surprise that her housekeepers have let some information slip regarding Jennifer’s tendency to walk around as the free spirit (read: without clothes on) that she is. Considering that she’s in her own home, it’s great that she does as she pleases!

Sandra Bullock Takes Birdbox to the Next Level

No wonder she was so convincing in her role on Netflix’s movie Birdbox! Sandra has been living with the curtains drawn for years and almost in the dark! OK, we’re exaggerating a bit, but Sandra does keep a very private life in order to keep her children away from the spotlight. This includes keeping the curtains closed most of the time and she has instructed her housekeepers to do this at all times. Sandra has adopted Laila and Louis, who are both the sunshine of her days. In February 2019, Sandra will be starring in another Netflix movie called Reborn.

George Clooney’s wallet is not always open!

Not much is known about George Clooney’s private life but according to some insiders, he might not be the most generous boss. Lately, though, he has opened up a bit more about his personal life, especially after his wife Amal gave birth to baby boy Alexander and his twin Ella. Maybe this will also translate into a more generous Clooney when it comes to the staff members who work in his household. Meanwhile, they have said that he keeps his wallet close to his heart and he even checks constantly that no one is drinking from his bottles.

Mariah Carey keeps the spirits high

Now, there might be a ‘before and after’ in Mariah Carey’s life, and that would be giving birth to her twins Moroccan and Monroe with then-husband Nick Cannon. She used to always have a drink in her hand at home, although that didn’t make her a mean boss at any point, according to those that have worked for her. In fact, she is reported to be the nicest of bosses, despite her very well-known diva-like characteristics. Although, before the twins, she might have had to be helped to bed a couple of times, her staff speaks very highly of Mariah.

Madonna always makes time for the children

According to former nanny Angela Jacobson, Madonna is a great mother who, despite her extremely busy schedule, always makes time for her children. Although she couldn’t continue working for Madonna because she didn’t speak French –and the kids attend a French-speaking school – Angela had nothing but kind things to say of her former employer. Despite rumors about her being suddenly fired, you won’t find reasons for a wrongful termination case here as according to Angela, the parting was amicable. Meanwhile, Madonna will be presented with the GLAAD’s Advocate for Change Award at an upcoming ceremony.

Victoria Beckham can’t stand liars

Victoria and David Beckham have led a very public professional life, but they have always tried to keep the personal stuff at a minimum out there. That’s why more than one lawyer was involved when the former nanny of the family, Abigail Gibson, told the media about the Beckhams’ private life after she stopped working for the couple. The Beckhams didn’t sit idle and eventually got her to agree to confidentiality and to retract what she said, which apparently were lies. Abigail was probably not very missed considering that Victoria has a staff of more than ten people to help her with anything she might need.

Taylor Swift is a real cat-lover

The reports are so true: Taylor Swift definitely loves cats, and her staff knows it! Not only does she have two cats –Meredith and Olivia – but she is also willing to feed the strays that might go near her home. Swift has released a cat line as part of her merchandise and, to top it all off, she will be starring in the film adaptation of the play, Cats! A known advocate for animal care, her staff reports that Taylor hates to see cats suffering and that’s why she is always willing to welcome them into her home.

Tom Cruise might be “a bit” of a neat freak

Tom Cruise is a household name, a film legend for his many successful blockbusters, and he is also, undoubtedly, what most would call a neat freak. His staff has reported that even while he was married to Katie, certain areas would be off limits to her as he didn’t want her making a mess. He likes to inspect every inch of his home for the minimum sign of dust. It must be a very stressful place to work in if you are a part of the cleaning staff! Meanwhile, Cruise has been shooting for the Mission Impossible franchise, with two full movies on the way.

Dean McDermott likes to show it all

Dean McDermott and wife Tori Spelling seem to have no problem showing off their bodies in the privacy of their home. With Dean being a fan of boxing and regularly going to the gym, he probably is not very self-conscious at all, as he must be a bit fit at least. The staff member who spilled the beans commented on everyone’s surprise at finding Dean walking around so freely. According to them, Tori really doesn’t mind that he goes around like that and she actually tends to do the same every now and then. A very free house indeed!

Demi Moore prefers soft lights

We all know how harsh strong lights can be on your skin, so why not go for a different approach at home? This was probably the line of thought of Demi Moore when she decided to keep her house with softer lights so that she would always look great in the privacy of her own home. Whatever her anti-aging cream is, we want it, but if the secret is, as the housekeepers have said, to keep the lights low, we’ll do that, too! Demi’s skin looks better than ever at 55! She went to the Sundance Film Festival in January 2019 to present her latest project, Corporate Animals.

Serena Williams doesn’t cut birthday cakes

Serena Williams is one of the most successful female tennis players in the history of the sport and considering that she’s been playing since age three, her discipline has certainly paid off. Another thing Serena takes very seriously is her religion and not a birthday cake is cut at her home, not even for daughter Alexis; the family members are Jehovah’s witnesses. Serena’s very good workout schedule helped her get back in shape in no time after having her daughter. Now that she’s back in the game, she might be asking her staff to watch her games again, as she reportedly used to do with a former employee.

Ozuna likes to keep his earnings under wraps

Although he does have a vast collection of fancy and expensive watches, Juan Carlos Ozuna Rosado, better known as Ozuna, doesn’t like to talk about his finances at home, according to a former employee. Maybe he is the type of person who doesn’t like to talk about business inside his place, deciding instead to spend quality time with his family and leaving work issues at the workplace. Is that really so uncommon? Ozuna surpassed Justin Bieber’s records on YouTube for the highest number of videos – hitting the 1 billion views mark in February 2019.

Victor Oladipo likes cleanliness above all

Apparently, Indiana Pacers’ Victor Oladipo likes to keep things squeaky clean. Not only does his house have to be clean but it also has to smell nice at all times, according to an alleged insider. Apparently, Oladipo is very specific about this, as he likes fresh smells around the place all the time. And really, who would want their house to smell bad? This must be especially true after Oladipo ruptured his tendon in January 2019, which has forced him to undergo physical therapy and has probably forced him to spend more time at home.

J. Cole takes clean to a whole new level

Considering that he has designed a couple of footwear lines, it’s no wonder that such a subject might be a big worry for J. Cole. Of course, he did take it to the extreme when he allegedly had his staff clean the shoes of people he entertained at his home. This might have been compensation for making them take off their shoes, as he doesn’t like people wearing shoes in his place, according to his housekeeper. J. Cole recently released the music video for Shea Butter Baby, which he released with Ari Lennox in February 2019.

Carrie Underwood is not a fan of food prep

One of the responsibilities of working in Carrie Underwood’s home includes prepping her food. Even though Carrie does like cooking, she apparently dislikes the prepping stage of the process. Therefore, she has asked her staff to do that part for her. Well, considering that most celebs have a private chef to keep their nutrition intact, this doesn’t seem like too much to ask, right? That way, everything has been cut and this is an extra task that doesn’t require much from the staff. The mother of two had her second child in January 2019 and couldn’t be happier about it.

Khloe Kardashian likes to have an organized pantry

Khloe certainly likes to keep things clear and visible in her very big pantry and that means see-through containers for most of her things. However, although she joked with the term, she won’t be entering any OCD treatment center anytime soon as she doesn’t have this condition. Of course, her staff is the one in charge of keeping things tidy and it has been reported that Khloe gets in a bad mood if things are not stored as she likes them. Khloe’s life has been filled with scandal since new rumors of baby daddy, Tristan Thompson, cheating with Jordyn Woods in February of 2019.

Michael Gandolfini likes to keep his DVDs spotless

Michael Gandolfini, son of The Sopranos’ the late James Gandolfini, keeps the DVDs of the show at home. He likes to make sure that they are squeaky clean as they possibly represent not only an epic TV show but also one of his father’s most iconic roles. Therefore, it’s his housekeeper’s task to keep them tidy, clean and, of course, preserve them from any possible damage. Michael will actually play his father’s former role as Tony Soprano in the full movie prequel to the TV show titled, The Many Saints of Newark.

Miley Cyrus is not into house training

Unfortunately, Miley Cyrus has a hard time disciplining her pets and teaching them where to relieve themselves. She is a known advocate for animal rescue but, according to insiders, she would let them do their thing wherever they wanted, instead of teaching them to wait until they were outside. Miley’s Malibu house was devastated by the tragic California wildfires, but hopefully, once Cyrus has settled in her new place, she will teach her pets better this time. That way, her staff won’t have to be cleaning after them as they reportedly used to do in her former home.

Jim Carrey can be really unpredictable

Jim Carrey is certainly a character, both on the screen and far away from the camera. According to inside sources, Jim can be a bit volatile when at home as he has an overactive mind that tends to change constantly. His housekeeper has said that they never know what to expect from Jim, as at one moment everything seems fine and at the other, something is wrong with how they’re doing their job. In February of 2019, Jim has released some caricatures in which he takes digs at the current President of the United States.

Lindsay Lohan’s wild adventures in her house

It is well known that Lindsay Lohan had a partying phase with too much alcohol that went a little out of control. It got to the point where she would lose important things, like the keys to the box containing some private items, which caused her to call a locksmith to open said box. Her staff, of course, was witness to all of this, as Lindsay was not quiet about it and this apparently took place in the middle of the night.  Lindsay seems to have things more under control and she will be starring in a new movie! It’s titled Among the Shadows and will be released in 2019.

Bruce Springsteen is the biggest flirt

Bruce Springsteen is certainly famous for his talent and for being one of the biggest flirts out there. It comes as no surprise then that this extends towards his private life, where he apparently is a big flirt with his staff members. However, it might just be harmless flirting, as we have never heard any news of him having to reach a lawsuit settlement with an offended party or anything of the sort. His staff seems to be used to it and not give much importance to his antics. A movie inspired by Bruce’s Blinded by the Light song made its debut at Sundance in January 2019.

Kate Gosselin has difficulty finding staff

We really can’t blame Kate Gosselin for having difficulty in finding help to keep her home clean and tidy. After all, having that many children – eight to be exact – running around must be quite stressful. Besides, Kate’s temper might not be the easiest one as was seen on her reality TV show, Jon and Kate Plus 8, which became Kate Plus 8 after she and Jon decided on filing for divorce. Furthermore, apparently, the pay is not really that good, so all her employees tend to quit after a short time. Kate will be appearing on yet another reality TV show titled Kate Plus Date.

Johnny Depp likes to take his characters home

Can you imagine walking around the house while you’re cleaning and suddenly have Jack Sparrow appearing from behind a column? Ok, it might not be exactly like that, but according to Johnny Depp’s staff, he likes to have his movie costumes at home and wear them from time to time. One of the responsibilities of the staff is to keep his costumes clean, which he keeps stored in a closet. With the vast number of characters he has portrayed, and many eccentric ones too, that must be quite a costume wardrobe! Since the start of 2019, Johnny has been shooting the film Minamata.

Reese Witherspoon is the most generous boss

Reese Witherspoon is apparently a dream to work for. Not only is she organized and not messy at all but she is also said to be fairly generous with her housekeeping staff, too. Reese, who has started her own production company, certainly knows a thing or two, not just about wealth management, but people management as well. She is also known to give her employees stuff that she doesn’t need anymore. What a kind and generous boss! It’s been confirmed in February 2019 that she will be partnering with Starz to produce a new family drama called Kin.

Angelina Jolie doesn’t tolerate tantrums

Angelina Jolie has six kids to take care of and she does it with her own style. Although she allows them plenty of freedom, she definitely doesn’t encourage any temper tantrums at home. When her kids would get temperamental, she would just laugh at them, according to a former staff member. This might be a variation of advice given by a psychologist, encouraging caretakers to leave kids to cry. The staff does seem to think that Jolie’s reaction is a bit harsh though. Jolie reportedly agreed in January 2019 to be the executive producer of a show about current news which is targeted to teen audiences.

Jamie Dornan has an unexpected hobby

We are not trying to shame anyone out there! But we certainly didn’t expect that Fifty Shades of Grey leading man Jamie Dornan’s hobby would be needlepoint! That’s right. We don’t know if he actually makes any clothes that he later wears but it must relax him after a busy day of shooting. However, according to his staff, he likes to display some of his creations and likes to put his work on the walls of his home. Jamie has two movies in the post-production stage in 2019 while at least two more are lined up for 2020. Busy, busy man!

Selena Gomez is not the tidiest around the house

Selena Gomez definitely had a difficult 2018. And we can’t expect her to be at her best and keeping the house clean after she was recovering from a kidney transplant! However, according to her staff, her messiness has always been a part of her life. Therefore, her housekeeping team has to constantly pick up after her. According to her staff, the most problematic part is cleaning up makeup stains, as they are very difficult to remove and is something Selena wears constantly. Selena released in 2019 a new single titled Anxiety with her friend and fellow singer, Julia Michaels.

Christian Bale reminisces his American Psycho role

Christian Bale’s iconic character on American Psycho, Patrick Bateman, certainly made film history and the actor’s stellar performance helped put him on the spotlight. He apparently hasn’t completely let go of the character and, according to his managing staff, he likes to do random phone calls to friends or relatives and greet them as if he were interpreting the iconic Patrick. This must be a hilarious pastime for Christian and it’s surely a way to reminisce about the old times. His upcoming project, titled Ford vs. Ferrari is currently in post-production.

Gladys Knight follows Feng Shui in her studio

Gladys Knight has been crowned as the Empress of soul music, but not all of it is singing and producing. Gladys has reportedly explained that it is very important for her that everything in her recording studio is on the right place according to Feng Shui indications so that the energy will flow in the proper way. Therefore, it’s very important for her that nothing is moved out of place and her staff must keep this in mind at all times. Gladys has made recent celebrity news in regards to the show The Masked Singer, as she was revealed as The Bee in the final episode of the show.

Megan Fox doesn’t turn on the TV in her home

Getting pregnant might have been a surprise but Megan Fox is a dedicated mother as well as an actress. Her three children mean everything to her, but she does have a not so usual rule: no TV. Megan does let them watch movies, but no television for the children as it’s harder to predict what might come up. Her housekeeper has to enforce this rule when she’s not at home as it’s very important for her that they are more focused on nature and spirituality instead of advertisements. She has been shooting in South Korea since January 2019 for the movie Jangsa-ri 9.15.

Jennifer Lopez doesn’t have loose pockets

Maybe it’s due to her struggles when she was young, but Jennifer Lopez, one of the best-paid singers and actresses, is not exactly generous when it comes to her staff. She might think that everyone has to earn their dues, and reportedly, she doesn’t pay much to the housekeepers as they had said to the media. Reportedly, she pays her cleaning staff less than half the usual salary for a housekeeper.  Still, she manages to find people willing to work for her! Will this change after her wedding with Alex Rodriguez? The couple got engaged in March 2019.

Jason Momoa raises his kids to be wild and free

Jason Momoa has been known for playing roles connected to nature in some way or another. He is also famous for his long hair and his reluctance to do anything to it, which might be an inspiration for his children. How does this sense of freedom translate into his home life? Well, together with wife Lisa Bonet, he encourages daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf to run free and they can do as they wish throughout the house. They can even go to bed as late as they want, with no enforced bedtime according to a member of his staff.

Paula Deen forgets to pay employees

Paula Deen used to be the queen of southern cooking. However, recent years have seen her star dim a bit after a number of very public issues. Her home doesn’t seem to be the most peaceful environment either, considering that according to a former staff member, she is not the most generous of bosses. Deen would allegedly even forget to pay them at times or try to pay them with alcohol and food. This, of course, represented a problem for a lot of them. We know her cooking skills are great, but people need cash to pay their bills!
