To be fair, did Roberts demand the suite knowing it was already booked, or did the hospital give it to her to suck up to Ms. Roberts?

You may have something there. But it still sucks.

Yes, lets be fair.... and also realize that the birth of twins should be a higher-order delivery than most, requiring she be given some priority over normal births, and that it could be that this special suite was also the most secure from unwanted paparazzi. Most new moms don't have a monster mobs with cameras chasing them.

IMHO, the hospital gave Roberts whatever she wanted. She would not even have to ask. It would just be assumed that she would get the best treatment and the best room. Those babies are going to go out the front door wrapped in Cedars' blankets, and that photo alone is worth more than their advertising budget for the next twenty years.

Obstetrics is a competitive area for hospitals. A lot of patients shop around. It would be nice if average people realized that the hospital that caters to the rich and famous is probably going to treat them like dirt, but I am not going to hold my breath and wait for folks to figure that one out.

If you're in a restaurant and Leonardo DiCaprio has five waiters in attendance, it means you're going to have to wait an hour before somebody gets 'round to bringing you a cup of coffee. Same principle.

Or also to avoid disruption to the hospital operations and other patients because of the reporters, etc.

Not that I like the woman a bit...but I do want to be fair, also.
