Hotel guests outraged over trans-gender bikini photo shoot

Transgender beauty queen Jenna Talackova's bikini shoot this week upset several guests at a swanky L.A. hotel

The TMZ celeb website reported that Jenna had originally planned to host the bikini shoot in the privacy of her room at the Hotel Wilshire but when she arrived with her crew around lunchtime, her digs weren't ready, so she moved the shoot to the pool instead.

Problem is, the pool is located on the roof -- right beside the "Roof on Wilshire" restaurant -- and diners weren't too pleased when Jenna stripped down to a bikini right in front of them, posing for shots.

Diners complained and the restaurant staff asked Jenna and her crew to pack it in, insisting the shoot was interfering with business.

Jenna's room was quickly prepared so she could move the shoot there instead.

Jenna's attorney Gloria Allred said the photographer was shooting for a Canadian documentary, adding the hotel later apologised to Jenna and the camera crew.
