In a skewering worthy of the D-List princess, Kathy Griffin, John Leguizamo spills the beans about his experiences in Hollywood in his new book, "Pimps, Hos, Players, Haters & All The Rest Of My Hollywood Friends." And luckily for us, he has no problem naming names. From Starpulse News Blog:
Of Segal, Leguizamo recalls, "I did a movie with him before and he was friendly... then I go and do Executive Decision with him and I'm supposed to be his right-hand man in the flick. We do our first rehearsal and he comes in and... he's like, 'OK, I'm the commander...' He charges at me... knocks me against the wall and knocks all the wind out of me. I wanted to say, 'You run like a fat girl.' It wasn't even in the script."He had to die early in the movie and it wasn't his movie and he hated me. He didn't wanna come out of his trailer the day he was supposed to die... I was there very early because I wanted to see that scene. It was 6am, he was supposed to die... and we shot his death at 8 p.m."
John Leguizamo tackles Patrick Swayze and Arnold Schwarzenegger after the jump.

And Leguizamo also pokes fun at his To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything Julie Newmar co-star Swayze, who took offense to the Latino's ad-libbing in one scene. Leguizamo says, "He's going, 'Why don't you just say the line the way it's written?' and I said, 'Make me.' He said, 'How about if I punch you in the face?' It got heated... He started to swing at me... and Wesley's (co-star Snipes) like, 'Let them fight...' and the crew is yelling, 'Bitch fight!'But one star who comes out really well in Leguizamo's kiss-and-tell memoirs is Arnold Schwarzenegger, who shot Collateral Damage with the actor. Leguizamo states, "I was laughing all day long, he's the funniest dude I ever worked with in my life."
Sweet. Just in time for Christmas.
