Now for those that don't know (and most probably are going, who the bloody hell is she and why would I care), Melissa George has made a small name for herself as a working actress in the US, however most Australian's know her best from her long stint as the much beloved Angel from Home and Away.
It's pretty customary in this country for hosts of TV shows that these starlets populate every time they have
Anyhoo, most of our homecoming artists do get this and cheerfully play along, despite the fact that they're probably ready to set fire to the studio archives.
Not our Melissa. On being shown some footage of Angel with the braids and the unfortunate dress sense, instead she threw her toys out of her cot and then proceeded to burn up Twitter along the lines of she's gonna bill the show because she's done so much free f*#king promotion for them.
My favourite Tweet?
'I'd rather be having a croissant and a little espresso in Paris, or walking my French bulldog in New York City'.
Precious.
Way to burn bridges, sweetie.
Look, I understand she was probably having a bad day but this tweet threw it over the edge into sheer wankerism.
I'll agree that I'd much rather be strolling through the Champs Elysses or perusing Fifth Avenue myself (who wouldn't?), but seriously, wtf?
Apparently she feels that the 'body of work' she has amassed since her H&A days should overshadow this moment in time. Granted, her stint on the soapie was a million years ago but who can remember the last film she's in?
I bet Chris Hemsworth, also an erstwhile H&A castmate who has since gone on to eclipse anything Ms George can lay claim to, has a much better sense of humour about his roots.
Get a sense of humour, darling. It may even add to your range. And next time you consider promoting something, why not do it in NY or Paris instead. My bet is you need us much more than we need you.
