Bynes denies diva behaviour at film festival

HAIRSPRAY star AMANDA BYNES' agent has denied reports she behaved 'like a diva' during the Turks and Caicos Film Festival last week (ends26Oct07).

The actress, 21, who received the Rising Star award at the event in the Caribbean, is alleged to have skipped official engagements and even refused to attend a celebrity boat cruise alongside Oscar-nominated actor Michael Clarke Duncan and model/actress Gabrielle Union.

Sources also claim Bynes demanded four first-class plane tickets and two lavish double suites during her stay on the islands.

A festival organiser tells the New York Post's Page Six, "I literally didn't see her for days after she arrived at the hotel. Everyone was wondering where she was. She was off jet-skiing, treating it like a vacation.

"She was invited to show at the events. For someone to come down and play diva and only enjoy the island was irresponsible."

But Leslie Sloane Zelnick, Byne's representative, insists the reports are false.

She says, "It's absolutely not true. She is the nicest girl, she makes no demands, she was offered those tickets and her rooms by the festival. She even paid for all her own meals." (JC/WNWCPS/)
