Belt Tightening: Don't be surprised if a highly respected young star starts
turning up in some big, cheesy movies she would have turned her nose up at
just a little while ago. How else is she going to finance the reckless spending
spree she went on for a year, which included expensive mortgages, flashy
cars, clothes up the yazoo, hotel suites, trips all over the globe and gifts
for her family? Money is apparently so tight, she's even considering sandwiching
in a TV series. Where were her parents when she needed them? Gwyneth Paltrow;
Liv Tyler; Mira Sorvino; Winona Ryder; Drew Barrymore

Three's a pair: Friends thought that a certain showy Hollywood couple was
heading for split city, what with both of them stepping out with gorgeous

What gives? What few friends know is that they've hit on a compromise. He's
allowed to stray as long as he brings home his pretty new plaything so that
they can both enjoy her. And she may do the same, as long as she brings homes
her pretty new plaything so that they can both enjoy him. Nicolas

Could it be that an oft-rumored member of the family is biting the bullet
and settling down.with a woman? So say reports - which, I must say, were
surprising to me. Not that I've ever known for sure if he's gay, but he certainly
plays a gay role in that high-profile project with satisfaction. He's so

This actor is one of the hottest, and best paid, on TV. He and his girlfriend
are planning their wedding, but he has a dirty little secret. Although he
claims to be committed to his fiancee, behind her back he's carrying on a
torrid affair with a Hollywood stripper. He's been obsessed with the stripper
for a long time and can't get her out of his system. They meet at least once
a month for hours of passion. He told the stripper he intends to continue
seeing her after he's married, and to keep her quiet he bought her a $40,000
sports car. But their affair is the talk of the nudie bar and bound to leak
out. Matt LeBlanc

This sexy tv star hopped in her luxury SUV, pulled out on an LA street and
became a menace to society. Sources say she ran two red lights, cutting people
off, and it was a miracle that no one got killed. A cop pulled her over,
releasing a flood of tears from Ms TV Star, who sobbed, "Please don't write
it up, it will hurt my career." She was lucky that the cop happens to be
a fan of her hit show and let her off with a warning. Could it be she's a
better actress than we give her credit for? Sarah Michelle Gellar; Pamela

Could it be that there is a bit of additional controversy over an already
controversial Gucci ad? The ad in question features a shirtless male model
in a pair of snug dress slacks and shoes, and a woman is sprawled seductively
by the man's feet. Nothing terribly scandalous about that. However, the anonymous
male model is wearing no underwear, and through his slacks, you can see the
distinctive outline of his circumcised penis (some people have called to
tell me, "You can see his helmet"). While some publications have refused
to publish the ad, most haven't had any problem with it. That is, until a
certain male supermodel complained about his shirtless ad appearing on a
neighboring page in some magazines. What was this model's problem? You see,
the men in both ads have decidedly similar physiques - leading some to speculate
that the "helmet" man and the supermodel are one and the same. Are they?
Ah, there's the rub. If the model in the Gucci ad is who I think he is, he's
more than a mouthful. Marcus Schenkenburg

She's a popular actress who feels it's necessary to keep her gay personal
life a secret. Recently, she turned down a blockbuster movie role that would
have paid her big bucks and nobody in Hollywood could figure out why. Turns
out the star has a major crush on a rising young actress and got an offer
to work with her on a small film that conflicts with the big-budget movie.
Even though the young actress has a boyfriend, the older star is hoping that
a lesbian love affair will blossom when they work together. Jodie Foster

THE affair between the mogul and the married model, which has been the subject
of a few blind items in this vicinity, has apparently gone as flat as a bottle
of soda left uncapped in the sun. I understand that the model's husband (who
knew when he married her that she had a kinky taste in men) went to the mogul
several weeks ago and delivered a simple message: "If you don't stop fooling
around with my wife, I'll have you killed." It seems to have worked, but

This actress turned her back on TV when she landed what she thought was the
movie role of a lifetime. She figured she had it made and the sexy part would
propel her to stardom like Sharon Stone. Instead, the over-hyped movie tanked

still trying to redeem herself and the stress is taking its toll: She's going
bald! The gal is also undergoing psychiatric care and has her hairdresser

schmooze was said to be perfection. (Maybe now she'll concentrate on directing.)
But my source also included a critique on one audience member, a movie star

close to 60 and dresses like a 20-year-old hooker. In 10 years she'll be
a dead-ringer for Baby Jane Hudson."

The bust-up of those two gorgeous-looking movie stars must have hit one of
them harder than many of us figured. She's been working nonstop in what look
to be hit films and telling the press how in love she is with her new heartthrob
beau. He, on the other hand, has been suffering terribly. Not only has he
been acting like a heartsick dope, blabbing to everyone about how he doesn't
want to go on living, but he's porked up and shows up everywhere looking
like hell. Since a major director offered him a big role (luckily for the
actor, no audition or face-to-face meeting was required), the star's hired
a trainer, a nutritionist and has been hitting the skin and hair salons like
there's no tomorrow. Dennis Quaid/Meg Ryan; Heather Graham/Ed Burns;

It's unbelievable what world famous, glamorous, so-called couples put up

close to $4,000 last month on phone sex calls? Did this sexy movie star really
bust his main squeeze for spending nearly $10,000 on gifts and trinkets for
a hot personal trainer she's become awfully fond of? Watch for nauseating

Could it be that a certain multi-media mogul is willing to pay for male
companionship? That's no surprise, given that he is beyond his personal best.
What is surprising is that after he procured the services of a highly regarded

pill form. Quelle horreur. I guess he truly is a son of Abraham.

Could it be that a certain first-time novelist has been stalking someone

This isn't the actor's first experience with an obsessive stalker, so he's
not terribly concerned. Perhaps the writer will resort to voodoo or some
love potion. In any event, I do hope that he fares better than the actor's
last obsessive fan - may he rest in peace.

A few years back this actor abruptly left a popular sitcom and it was explained
that he wanted to pursue a movie career. Now the awful truth can be told:
He was FIRED from the top 10 show for having an affair with an underage boy!
He fell in love with a 17-year-old and was foolish enough to flaunt his jailbait
romance on the set. His costars were appalled, and a powerful leading actress
threatened to quit unless the guy was canned. He and his toyboy are no longer
together and his career is in the dumpster. Grant Shaud/Candice

Hold on to your ponytails, my little stallions, there's been some horsin'
around in H-town.
Scary tale about a deteriorating dude who hasn't appeared in a flick in some time--at least nothing memorable. His longtime lady, meanwhile, is practically popular and perky as ever. The movie man was steering his SUV through West Hollywood in the wee hours, when he started trailing a handsome dude who had departed a Starbucks and hopped into his own car. The freaked-out fellow pulled into the lot of another latte joint and scurried in, while the actor departed his Big Wheels and followed him.
The unknown gent immediately recognized the famous fellow, despite funky streaked hair, some extra poundage and totally strung-out behavior. Even greeted the actor by name, but the guy's response was simply, "Do you live around here?"
Since neither had a nooky nest nearby, they simply hopped in the back of the actor's transport for, um, band practice. Word is the aging star gave quite the adept performance--not a first-timer, it seems.

Could it be that a certain Broadway hunk currently treading the boards has
been smitten by the love bug? So say my sources on the Great White Way, who
tell me that the gangly Tony nominee has never had much luck in love. That
all changed when he was recently set up on a blind date by his former sitcom
co-star, who apparently fancies herself able to solve mysteries both on screen
and off. She found the perfect guy in the chorus of yet another Broadway
show, and the trio went out togther. Ever since then, the tunesome duo has
been making beautiful music together (on their off nights, of course). If
this one doesn’t work out, I say that our hero (who looks so dashing

With all the weddings and kids popping up around Hollywood these days, family
bonding is booming.
But one singer who was pretty popular in the '80s and has recently resurrected, has been a believer in family ties for years. Even when her name became a distant memory, her sibling relations never faded. And those tortured lyrics the songwriter pens don't come from just any old dysfunctional family experiences.
That's because the babe used to bed-hop with her brother. Ewwww. Despite

This hotshot (at least he thinks so) Hollywood producer was trolling about
the post-premiere party for a flick that starred some geezers who are almost
as prunish as he is.
The dude--who attended the soiree but didn't work on the film--stumbled through the throngs of revelers and finally found his way to a female employee. Since he'd already tossed back a few, the guy was not looking for directions to the bar.
Actually, the naughty dude asked the lady to pay him a visit later that night. "But I have a boyfriend!" the damsel protested.
Well, he has a wife (and not his first), but that didn't stop the cocky guy from continuing the convincing: "You'd have a much better time with me."

#1 - Could it be that a certain buff boy better known for his bleached locks
than for any acting ability has a past well hidden in his closet? So say
former classmates of the bronzed god, who tell me that he used to work as
a stripper during his, ahem, "internship" with that very public homosexual.
While the aspiring actor was still a college student and trying to breathe
some life into his artistic endeavors, he was bending over forwards and backwards
in a club where the boys went all the way. Now, if we could only find some
photos of that for the Web site! By that way, I hear that during his dancing
days, he went by the name Al, which was an abbreviation of his real last
name - a name so ponderous that it could choke a horse. David

#2 - Could it be that a noted celebrity reporter (and sometime actor) had to leave his local beat due to a nasty scandal waiting to erupt? That's what I hear from people in the know, who tell me that this paisan was getting a bit familiar with a furry friend - one with four legs! When extrication became difficult, he was forced to get out of town before the whole thing became public knowledge. This may have happened over a decade ago, but it didn't stop the right people from telling me every little detail. Oh, brother, it was hard getting all of those details out of them, but I did it for you, my loyal fans. Jerry Penacoli
