Now that he's "shed a few pounds," oil(y) heir Brandon Davis, a.k.a. "Greasy Bear" is apparently having trouble holding his liquor.
Or he's just a jackass. Or both.
Spies at the recent wedding reception of his older brother - Alexander - yes, there is yet another bear - snitched that Brandon Davis caused an uproar.
He celebrated Alexander's marriage to his Greek girlfriend (sadly, not a relative of fellow heir / club fixture Stavros Niarchos) by "getting into an enormous fight with his father," Turkish-American wine importer Nebil Zarif.
Yes, Greasy Bear, along with brothers Alexander and Jason Davis, a.k.a. Gummi Bear, is partly a Middle Eastern Bear.
One who, of course, ridiculed Paula Abdul's Middle Eastern heritage in the not so distant past. Yeah. He's not smart. Or classy. At all.
He also has more grease in his hair than Spencer Pratt. Thus the nickname.
Sources at the reception say Brandon Davis, whose oily sheen is one of the seven wonders of the celebrity gossip universe, was "acting belligerent" and "knocking over chairs and flower arrangements" at the Mantage Resort in Laguna Beach.
"[Brandon Davis] got so upset, he sent tables crashing ... he had to be carried out of the reception," says a witness.
Davis, a Hollywood rich kid who is notorious for obnoxious outbursts and screaming rants (remember Firecrotch), did not return calls for comment.

Oldest to youngest Zarif (Davis???) kids are as follows: Brandon, Alexander and Jason. How do I know? I was their Nanny for a year while they still lived in Denver and their parents were still married.
I've always described Brandon as a "Future ax murderer." I'm not surprised to see that my prediction wasn't far off. Sad really.
Their father is Nebil Zarif and yes, he's from Turkey. I doubt that any of the Zarif boys have ever been to Turkey. By the way, Nabil is also a womanizing jerk. Brandon and Jason learned at the knee of their father. Fortunately, it seems that Alexander has come out fairly clean. I'm glad, because he was the reason I took the job in the first place. Sweet kid! I hope he's a responsible hardworking adult, unlike his disappointing brothers.
The Zarif boys are also the son of Nancy Davis and grandchildren of the late Billionaire, Marvin Davis.

Nanny S is correct. I know, I was also working for the Zarif's when in Denver and yes, Brandon was the bad one. Alexander was a cool kid. Their dad was a loser, big time. Should have been sent back to Turkey before the kids were born. The boys mom was a really nice lady and not stuck up like a lot of people might think.

I think I know Nanny S. I hope all this all this info on Brandon doesn't cast negative thoughts on Alexander and his mother. Coop must have been there after I was and yes, Bilo was real fond of the ladies (they weren't of him) and also found out about mud ducks. That bad taste must have been passed on to Brandon. He will never grow up and will probably end up doing jail time.

Obviously I haven't checked this for a long time. I'm dying to know who "Also There" and "Coop" are because clearly we were working in the Zarif household around the same time. So here's some other dish for you guys. Remember Elsie, the "loyal" house manager...Yvonne (English Nanny) told me years ago that Elsie ended up getting fired because they discovered she'd been stealing money from the Zarif's for years!! Made me giggle because I hated that woman! I knew she wasn't the "faithful servant" they thought she was!
Do you guys remember Brandon screaming about wanting a Parrot? His Dad finally sent poor Earl (guard) out to buy him a parrot. It was a beautiful bird; a young red-tailed gray parrot. Brandon screamed at it (as only Brandon knew how to do) to try to get it to talk for a day or so and then it ended up being tossed aside. God bless the guards who took it up to the guard room and looked after it.
Immediately after the parrot was tossed aside, Brandon began to demand a bunny. Once again, Mr. Z sent someone out to buy him a bunny. Brandon tired of that quicker than the parrot and the poor rabbit was stuck in a cage at the back of the maid's laundry area. Mr. Z then decided that they needed to build a hutch for the bunny out in the yard. He assigned Claudio (the chef - of all people) to go out and build this hutch! We all stood in the house when Mr. and Mrs. Z were out and muttered about how the hutch would not protect that poor rabbit from all those big dogs they had. Fortunately, I left my job before the bunny became dinner for the dogs.
The thing about Brandon is that I've read he's been "cut off" financially from the family until he can get his act together. THEY CREATED HIM!! HE IS THE WAY HE IS BECAUSE OF THEM!!! WHAT DO THEY EXPECT??!!! He doesn't know any other way and he certainly has no skills or education to make his way through life! We Nannies were never allowed to discipline those boys and the parents certainly didn't, especially not Brandon. I do think Mr. Z was excessively hard on Alexander at times when he didn't earn it. However, you'll note, we don't see any bad-boy articles about Alexander in the media, now do we??!! Maybe he got nipped at just enough to keep his nose clean.
Coop's comment about growing up at Disneyland is very accurate. They had every cool plaything, indoors and out that could keep a kid busy for a lifetime. Brandon and Alexander's beds were race cars for crying out loud!! (Those things were a royal pain to make every morning!!)
And yes, I'd agree that Nancy Zarif (Davis) was ok. She was a little bit of a princess at times but I liked her and I especially adored her folks! Mr. and Mrs. Davis worked for everything they had and they were so kind and generous to their staff. The Davis' youngest daughter Dana was really cool too. I got along well with her. I was only about four years older than her so we had fun together.
Anyway, if any other Zarif staffers remember any stories about the Zarif boys, I'd like to hear them!

Nor have I checked this for a long time. I'm sure Nanny S will remember Bilo firing up his imported Ferrari, not letting it warm up, speeding to his office (given to him by his father-in-law) and getting several speeding tickets. Brandon even looks like his dad.
The parrot incident must have happened after I left. Tony was the chef when I was there and do you remember Bilo always going bird hunting...bringing back plastic bags of ducks, mostly mud ducks, I had to clean so many of those birds. Tony finally prepared one especially for Bilo and Bilo was to "proud" to say they tasted like crap...which mud ducks do.
Yes, I remember Elsie - what an old hag. Real plastic. Was nice to you if the Mrs. liked you, but would stab you in the back whenever she could. Doesn't surprise me she got canned for that reason.
I don't remember Earl, so maybe he was there after me too. Nanny S, you were still there when I left. I know who you are, just don't know how to contact you. I'm still in the area.
Not sure who Coop is.
Dana was cool, so was Greg. Mr. and Mrs. Davis were the best!

Nanny S,
Are you out there? From the mid-west, right? Chico sound familiar? Any suggestions on contacting? Any other Zarif news?
