Overheard: Traci Bingham Knows Her Worth
When our PrivacyWatchers employ more than one of their senses in their celebrity encounters, an Overheard is born, and the lil'est angel in Heaven gets a coupon for a free Botox injection:
Traci Bingham was at the Beverly Hills Hotel on Sunday, screaming/ "negotiating" with her agent or some other character on her cell phone. She was demanding $60,000 for some role that she was only being offered $20,000 for. She was not pleased that the person on the other end of the phone was recommending that she take the 20k. "Let's be honest, would you do this for $20,000? Didn't think so, I want 60" was one of the overheard quotes.
We admittedly don't have a lot of experience in these matters, but don't the kinds of discreet negotiations that involve a former Playmate/Baywatch star (especially one who's advertising online poker on her rack) take place upstairs in a hotel room, rather than in the lobby? Tres gauche. And, sadly, we fear that she wound up with a mere 15 grand after the role was offered to someone from the second season of Survivor.
