Alex Pettyfer is still a douche, shows up 2 hours late for a photo shoot

Ever since I finally figured out who Alex Pettyfer is, I’ve been inundated with tabloid stories about what a massive douche he is. Most of the stories come from Us Weekly, which indicates to me that Alex must have done something to piss off the editors at some point. Either that, or Us Weekly just has very Dianna Agron-heavy sources. I think The Hollywood Reporter got the ball rolling when they profiled Alex’s rise to douchedom, but everything went a little crazy right after Alex and Dianna split up. Suddenly, it was okay to insinuate that Alex was and is a stalker, predator, psycho and maybe even a pyromaniac. It also became okay to openly discuss how Alex’s drama is unwanted in Hollywood. So, you would assume that Alex has been off somewhere, licking his wounds, right? Not so much, according to Us Weekly. They had this little report in this week’s issue:

Beastly star Alex Pettyfer won’t be losing that rough reputation any time soon. The Brit, 20 – who had a meltdown at a club February 18 after he split from Dianna Agron, 24 – showed up to a recent magazine photo shoot two hours late!

He said, “For the cover, I would have been on time,” reveals an insider. Says the actor’s rep: “Absolute nonsense.”

Yeah. His people denied all of those other reports too, but the sheer volume of detailed reporting regarding his dram queen antics have made me a believer. So, I believe this story. This happened. And Alex still doesn’t get that he’s completely replaceable.
