Stewart angry and frustrated with lost beauty sleep

Some divas are unmistakable like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan. Nuff said.

Diva or Star?Diva or Star?Other divas surprise us.

Take Rod Stewart, for example. A 63-year-old rocker who's been around the block so many times it's named after him. But this aging rocker has a few tantrums left in him yet - and we aren't going to argue his need for beauty sleep!

Stewart's touring the land down under and less than impressed with some of his hotel neighbors. Yesterday the DailyRecord reported about an incident between Stewart and a cheeky hotel guest who blasted loud music into the wee hours.

A phone call to reception, another to the room above Stewart asking the guest to turn down his music. A hotel employee told the DailyRecord, "A member of staff called the man, who also happened to be a big name in the music promotion business and asked him to turn down the music."

The guest kindly offered to put Stewart's music on, but wasn't keen on putting a lid on his late-night partying. The guest was enjoying the music of Italian heartthrob, Eros Ramazzott, but he offered to switch to Stewart's music. Stewart declined.

Sounds like the InterContinental in Sydney isn't big enough for 2 divas to be checked in at the same time.

Stewart played in Christchurch and the Mission Estate Winery in New Zealand and has now moved onto Australia for performances in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Stewart's been rocking through the decades and probably has as much (if not more) money as Sir Richard Branson. Maybe Stewart will come up with a new hotel chain that separates the riff raff from the true divas...err stars.

Ever had a noisy hotel room neighbor that tested your sanity? What did you do to survive the night?

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Julia Rosien said "Thanks for posting your comment. I was very impressed with the way Captain Draper handled the situation and I told him so. He made it a priority to inform all passengers and eliminated rumor and speculation. It's nice to know the other passengers involved felt the driver saved their lives. The roads in Tortola are terrible and I'm sure much skill is involvd navigating them safely. I hope you enjoyed your cruise, despite this tragedy. Julia"

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Anonymous said "I just returned from this tragic Caribbean Princess cruise. Although I was not a part of this particular excursion, it was both saddening and shocking for everyone on the ship when Capt. Draper made the announcements. The following day, we spoke to one of the excursion bus passengers who felt the bus driver did everything in his power to slow the bus down and they felt the bus driver had saved all of their lives. According to my fellow passenger, the fatality was caused by the young man being thrown through the front windshield. Of note, it was rumored told during the cruise that a witness saw the brakes being worked prior to the excursion."
