Truth about Jennifer Lopez's umbrella incident at Stella McCartney show: Sources in Paris tell ROB SHUTER why she was really irritated

There was Jennifer Lopez sitting front row at Stella McCartney's Spring/Summer 2027 show in the gardens of the British Embassy in Paris on Wednesday, as the rain poured down.

At first, Lopez's burly bodyguard stood to her left, holding an umbrella over her head as she looked down at her phone. The event was running late, as they tend to do.

As the show was about to begin, JLo's bodyguard was asked to step back and he handed the umbrella to her. Cell phone video, furtively filmed from across the runway, suggests to me that she was already getting annoyed.

Moments later, a young woman, seemingly event staff, asked her to put down the umbrella entirely. Jennifer didn't appear pleased.

When the video came out, the internet screamed: Diva! 

But, according to my sources, who were at the event: not exactly.

'People saw her expression and immediately decided it was a meltdown,' my source tells me. 'But Jennifer wasn't creating a scene. She was irritated for a moment and the cameras caught it.'

'Everyone, including Jennifer, had been told the umbrellas were fine,' the source tells me. 'Then, once she was seated, suddenly she was told it had to come down. That's why she looked irritated.'

I'm told Stella McCartney apologized to guests afterward for the miserable weather, saying she was sorry everyone got wet.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Jennifer's team as well as Stella McCartney representatives for comment.

'She wasn't yelling or making demands,' another source says. 'She was annoyed. Jennifer just doesn't hide irritation particularly well.'

I believe it. I, of course, worked for Jennifer as a publicist in the early 2000s. I never saw the cartoon diva people seem desperate to discover.

Was she demanding? Absolutely. Particular? You bet.

This is classic Jennifer Lopez: immaculate hair, perfect clothes, front row in Paris and absolutely no interest in pretending that getting soaked is fabulous.

'Jennifer doesn't arrive at Fashion Week casually,' another insider remarked. 'Everything is planned — the dress, the hair, the makeup, the photographs. Getting drenched was definitely not part of the plan.'

In an era when celebrities desperately cosplay as relatable, there is something wonderfully authentic about JLo. Please don't change.

Saucy Spencer

Speaking of testing tempers, Charles Spencer, brother of the late Princess Diana, seemed to almost lose his cool at a New York City book event moderated by legendary journalist Tina Brown.

I was there, sitting directly behind Spencer's fourth wife, Norwegian archaeologist, Cat Jarman, in the front row – watching it all unfold. When Brown pointed out that Spencer's nephew, Prince Harry, hadn't exactly flourished in America, Spencer's face changed.

Brown nearly interrogated, borderline mocked him. 'I think what's interesting is, you forget, these are just regular people at heart, and this English guy's lived in California, he wants to live in England,' he said. 'Seems normal.'

'Okay, well, it's one way of reading it,' Brown replied.

During the exchange, Spencer appeared irritated and ready to push back. Then he glanced at Jarman.

She quietly shook her head. The message seemed clear to me, don't take the bait.

I arrived interested in Charles Spencer and his new book. I left fascinated by Cat Jarman. Now I want to read her book.

Please, shut up!

Adam Brody has waded into one of the most explosive political debates on earth – the Israel-Palestine conflict.

The Nobody Wants This star told GQ: 'Put me down as thinking it's a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine.'

That prompted Rabbi Steve Leder, who served as a Jewish technical adviser on the first season of Brody's Netflix series, to publicly blast the actor, calling him an 'ignorant Jew' and disputing his characterization of Israel's actions.

Here's the problem, nearly every incentive in Hollywood is encouraging Brody to be so irresponsibly hyperbolic.

'There's very little professional downside in Hollywood right now for a star taking this position,' one American premium cable industry insider tells me. 'Adam isn't exactly risking his career by saying it. If anything, plenty of people around him will applaud. Celebrities can make incredibly provocative statements about Israel and still be treated as courageous, when they may know no more about the conflict than anyone sitting at home.'

Being famous gives you a bigger microphone. It doesn't make you better informed.

Spiky Lee

Famous filmmaker Spike Lee was physically restrained from going after a fan at Yankee Stadium before Game two of the Yankees-Red Sox Wild Card Series on Tuesday, after a man allegedly filmed him eating and harassed him over his support for Palestine.

Back in February, Lee wore a keffiyeh-patterned sweater and Palestine flags across the strap of a crossbody bag to the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles.

The fan was reportedly thrown out, as he should have been. But I don't give Spike Lee a pass just because he's famous.

You can be angry. You can tell someone to leave you alone. You can call security. But being a celebrity is not a hall pass.

If this behavior gets an ordinary fan kicked out, then kick Spike Lee out too.
