Bateman cuts to front of iPhone queue
Actor JASON BATEMAN left hundreds of Apple iPhone fans in Hollywood fuming on Thursday (24Jun10) when he was plucked from a long line of waiting customers and escorted straight into the store.
The Up In The Air star was among an estimated 2,000 people who had lined up outside the Apple store at The Grove shopping mall, eager to get their hands on the new iPhone 4, which went on sale on Thursday morning.
Bateman's celebrity status won him special treatment when an Apple employee noticed him in the queue and allowed him to cut to the front of the line - and walk straight into the shop to make his purchase.
But Bateman's actions won't win him any fans - other customers, who had been waiting patiently for hours, jeered and booed the star as he strolled right past them.
