With the string of celebrities taunting the Mondrian Hotel, it is somewhat refreshing to hear of a celebrity staying at a Sunset Strip hotel who wasn't puking in the bathroom. Except this story does have a crazy celebrity/bad hotel behavior twist.

Media heiress Lydia Hearst recently spent a night at the Chateau Marmont where she told the Page Six she almost died in her sleep thanks to the old-fashioned gas oven which was left on in her sleep.

"I went to bed around midnight on Saturday and didn't wake up until 4 p.m. on Sunday," she said. Hearst asked the hotel to turn the oven off after she saw "the misty, shaky air pour out." She's in L.A. promoting her "Lydia" bag for Puma. "Of course, I'll stay here again," Hearst said. "But can you imagine if I was found dead, naked in bed? It would have been me and John Belushi who died here!"

Hmm...we don't quite think people would flock to the CM to see where Lydia Hearst "died" especially if she was the one who forgot to turn off the gas in the first place.

However, we do think that Andre Balazs should start updating these suite kitchenettes. We've seen some of the CM ones and they are novel-looking but remember the ones at his dark secret hotel shame Sunset Beach? Those are fire hazards waiting to happen.
