Katherine Heigl

Katherine Heigl is "demanding" and "not worth it." That is, according to multiple Hollywood insiders that opened up to The Hollywood Reporter in a scathing article in September 2013. Several film and TV insiders claimed to THR that the former Grey's Anatomy star (and her mother Nancy Heigl) are "difficult" to work with on set. "She can cost you time every single day of shooting," a source who worked with the actress on the 2010 film Life As We Know It said.

Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan's Canyons director was glad when the film finally wrapped! At the Venice Film Festival in late August 2013, Canyons director Paul Schrader told reporters that he was finally "free" of her. "In the past 16 months, I have been hostage to Lindsay Lohan. She is a great actress, she should be here, but her behavior is unspeakable," he said during her absence.

Shia LaBeouf

The Transformers star abruptly left the Broadway play Orphans in February 2013 after getting into a public feud with director Daniel Sullivan and costar Alec Baldwin. "The theater belongs not to the great but to the brash," he tweeted at the time. The young star even released private email exchanges between himself and Baldwin, including an "Apology" letter he sent to his coworkers. He would later sit front-row at a preview performance of the show in March to applaud the cast.

Teri Hatcher

It appears as though Teri Hatcher just didn't get along with the other ladies of Wisteria Lane. Hatcher's name was conspicuously left off cards the other women (Marcia Cross, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria and Vanessa Williams) gave to the crew when Desperate Housewives ended in May 2012. However, that same month Longoria would deny any type of feud during an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman. "We all get along," she said. "Everybody says that [we don't].

Chevy Chase

Chevy Chase wasn't all too pleased with the Community showrunners in October 2012, and used the n-word on the set of the NBC series while expressing his frustration. According to THR, he "apologized immediately" and it was not directed toward any of his castmates. "The hours in this kind of show are not commensurate with the actual product," he would tell Huffington Post UK in February. Chase would later leave the comedy before Season 4 finished filming.

Shannen Doherty

Shannen Doherty and those Beverly Hills 90210 days! The actress was famously fired from the series in 1994 after clashing with her cast and producers. Her former costar Ian Ziering would later admit how difficult it was to work with her to Entertainment Weekly. "I'm pretty happy she's gone, actually. I never liked her. Just a total lack of professionalism. Whatever. She's gone. She's history," he said during a September 2004 interview.

James Cameron

The Titanic director has been infamous for being a bit difficult to work with behind the scenes. "It's hard to get Jim's attention," actress Linda Hamilton, and one of Cameron's four ex-wives told The Daily Mail in February 2010. "He shouts 'Take a number, take a number,' which means get in the 15-strong queue of people waiting to see him because he likes to control every second. Jim can do everyone's job."

Lea Michele

Sometimes it isn't all that gleeful on the Glee set. In August 2012, insiders exclusively revealed to Luxury Handbag Shopping that guest star Kate Hudson thought Lea Michele was "a total diva" while taping the FOX series. "Kate says Lea is a nightmare. Once, during a technical delay, Lea snapped her fingers and said, 'Let's go. I have plans!'" The source added: "Kate's keeping her distance." (Michele's rep would later counter that "Lea has had a great time with Kate.")

Mariah Carey

Sources revealed to TMZ in July 2012 that Mariah Carey was quite difficult to work with during her one year stint as a judge on American Idol. Besides sometimes feuding with fellow judge Nicki Minaj, the "We Belong Together" singer was a "nightmare to work with" and she was "not very nice at all."

Sean Young

Sean Young has been reportedly difficult to work with in Hollywood for years following her Blade Runner days. Some of her escapades have included annoying Wall Street's director Oliver Stone so much that he dropped her from the film in 1987. Five years later, she would barge into the Warner Bros. lot wearing a homemade Catwoman suit to be considered for the 1992 sequel to Batman, Batman Returns.

Isaiah Washington

Isaiah Washington became so uncomfortable to worth with on the Grey's Anatomy set, that he was fired from his role as Dr. Preston Burke on the ABC series in 2007. At the time, the actor called costar T.R. Knight a "f---ot" during an on-set argument. (Knight was not there at the time, but he would later come out gay.) Washington also reportedly fought with costar Patrick Dempsey. "For the last six years of my life, I've been fighting off bigots," he told The New York Times in September 2013.
