American Idol winner Taylor Hicks is not the laid back individual that many people think he is, at least according to Star Magazine. Once Hicks starting achieving some success on the show, his attitude did a complete 180. Hissyfits, temper tantrums, and out-of-control behavior became all too common. According to an Idol insider:
"The minute Taylor made the top 24, he became difficult and he seemed to get worse over time," a source told the tab All the male contestants on the show became friends - except Hicks. "He was conceited and cold. Once he was in the top eight, I think he no longer wanted to be on the show."Some examples cited by Star: when in the top ten, Taylor didn't want a bodyguard to accompany him to the men's room as required and reportedly told one to "[bleep] off," he refused to go to photo shoots, and he wouldn't speak to others in the show's green room.

Can't really blame Taylor on this one. Who wants to have a bodyguard hovering over them while they take a crap? I'd freak the hell out. The bathroom stall is my private sanctuary--the one place I can go a few times a day (or like five if I've had Mexican food) and not get treated like a piece of meat, constantly being propositioned by sex-starved models. It's just me and the toilet. And maybe a Penthouse or four.
