Zsa Zsa Is at It Again: Zsa Zsa Gabor struck again Sunday, slapping a wealthy Saudi prince with an insult that caused him to drop her from a $50-million movie only one day after casting her in the part. Sheik Mohammad al-Fassi fired Gabor before the pair even met because of disparaging remarks she made about him in a dispute over travel expenses, said Chris Christenson, producer of the planned epic on Saudi history. The dispute began Saturday, when Gabor canceled an appearance with the sheik to promote the project, Christenson said. The actress-socialite--recently convicted with slapping a Beverly Hills police officer--demanded travel expenses and in the course of discussions with an aide, said she didn’t trust the sheik and had reservations about his character, Christenson said. Gabor, denied making disparaging remarks.
