The press center at Eurovision 2011 is abuzz with the news that Lena has turned into a total diva. Unlike the other contestants, she keeps bodyguards with her all the time, won’t let official photographers take her picture, and constantly tells journalists their questions are crazy. What a difference a year makes. Recommend on Facebook [...]
