Wayne Rooney and wife Coleen nearly didn't make it to Glastonbury after festival founder Michael Eavis declined to accommodate them for putting on too many airs and graces.
Michael and his team were unimpressed when they received an email from Coleen, 25, asking for her entourage to receive special attention.
'Coleen's assistant emailed months ago to ask for VIP treatment but Michael's office replied saying celebrity pampering is not what Glastonbury is all about, and she wouldn't be getting any tickets through them,' says a source at the Perrier-Jouet champagne bar.
'Michael suggested that she would be better off going through the private luxury site next-door run by Mark Edgley called Windinglake Farm.
'Mark's a Manchester United fan and he was happy to accommodate the Rooneys at his site in the grounds of his manor house. He arranged festival passes, helicopter and Winnebagos.'

The couple spent £15,000 on their trip. Sources say Coleen kept a close eye on Wayne but couldn't stop him sneaking off for the odd cigarette with his brother John.
Coleen's spokesman said: 'They didn't have any tickets withdrawn and weren't banned from attending.'

Homesick: TV presenter Alexa Chung pictured at GlastonburyOne person who didn't mind donning wellies in the Glastonbury mud was homesick Alexa Chung. The model - who during the festival was inseparable from her boyfriend, Arctic Monkeys singer Alex Turner - told me she misses everything about Britain since moving to New York earlier this year to film a pilot for MTV. 'Even this mud reminds me of home, so I don't mind it one bit,' she said.

She may have just split from her billionaire husband Justin Portman but that did not dampen the spirits of Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova. She was letting her hair down with close friend Nick Valentine, the club entrepreneur who once stepped out with Keira Knightley.
Over a glass of Belle Epoque, Nick told me: 'We've rented a little cottage together just on the outskirts of Worthy Farm, where the festival is held. It's been a lot of fun - we've relaxed and partied.'

The Kaiser Chiefs arrived at Glastonbury on Sunday swelling with pride - after getting a Royal seal of approval.
Prince Harry watched them at the Hard Rock Calling festival in London's Hyde Park on the Friday night before, and asked to be introduced to them backstage afterwards.
A spy in the Barclaycard VIP lounge said: 'Lead singer Ricky Wilson was chuffed to hear that Harry even moshed on the side of the stage throughout their set even though it was pouring with rain.

Wearing jet-black lipstick and a shockingly blonde new short haircut, Jaime Winstone set herself up as a backstage hairdresser. I spotted Jaime, 26, daughter of tough-guy actor Ray, snipping away in the exclusive Winnebago area. 'Jaime set up a makeshift beauty parlour,' I was told. 'Pixie Geldof even let her have a go at her hair.'
