I’m one of those few people that kind of adores Ed Westwick. Granted, I don’t watch Gossip Girl, but I like Westwick as a celebrity. I think it’s because he just seems so fey, so bitchy, so fabulous, and like he doesn’t even care what people think of him and his ways. I think his “I like whatever is happening to my ass” pose on the cover of Arena Homme might have been the point where I was like, “This bitch is amazing!” Oh, and I buy that he’s straight too. I actually think he might be a womanizer.

Anyway, Westwick has become the victim of a Gatecrasher piece that paints him in a horrible light. Gatecrasher basically claims that Westwick is so arrogant, he had a hissy fit at a restaurant when another patron was taking photos… of someone other than Westwick. According to the patron, Westwick “came over and was like, ‘Stop taking my picture!’ He started shouting obscenities at me and getting in my face. He was all bitter and sh-t.” My Westwick? Oh noes!

Hey there, upper East Siders: We hear that “Gossip Girl” guy Ed Westwick can’t quite keep his cool. A patron at LES hot spot Los Feliz is claiming that the Brit became extremely heated during a recent night out after deciding that his dinner was being disturbed. And what was the cause of the distraction? The fellow diner says he was merely taking photos — at his own table.

“Ed came over and was like, ‘Stop taking my picture!'” says the snapper, who insists he initially didn’t even know who “Chuck Bass” was and was simply trying to capture memories of his own evening.

“He started shouting obscenities at me and getting in my face. He was all bitter and s—. I thought it was a joke.”

But it most certainly wasn’t: The amateur cameraman soon realized just how angry Westwick was (“He walked off in a cloud of disgust,” he says), but decided he wasn’t going to take the insult sitting down.

“I went over to him and asked him who he thought he was, and he dissolved into a fit of rage,” says the man, who continued taking pictures of his party.

Soon after, he says he was approached by the manager of the restaurant, who told him he had to leave at Ed’s request.

“Ed was snickering in the corner, because the people he was with had told the staff that I was paparazzi,” says the man. “So I paid my bill, and I left.”

A rep for Westwick admits that Ed has dined at the eatery, but insists that “there was no altercation.”

Still, this isn’t the first time the CW heartthrob has been labeled a hothead — he was reportedly involved in a bar fight with fellow British actor Toby Hemingway at L.A. cantina El Guapo last summer.

Ed’s co-star Chace Crawford supposedly broke up the brawl.

Later, Westwick’s rep denied that altercation, too, adding that Ed and Toby had been friendly since the party.

But those who have worked with the Brit say he has been known to lose his temper.
“He’s been perceived to be like his on-screen Chuck Bass character in real life,” says a snitch who has worked with him. “He does what he wants.”

Yeah, I totally believe this happened. And I totally believe Westwick is a big bitch, bless his heart. I mean, it totally sucks for the dude who got kicked out, and it totally sucks that Westwick is so arrogant and moody and intemperate, but what do you expect? He’s Ed Westwick! Seriously, he should take it down a notch. DIVA!
