Celebrity Gossip
Unless things have changed since I last checked it out, female fans wanting to gawk at Aerosmith rocker Steven Tyler should click on the website of his ex-wife Cyrinda. Believe it or not, she posted a nude snap shot of Steve baby and is charging $9 bucks a pop for a sneak peep. (Reportedly, the rocker was so miffed, he went to court, but later dropped his suit. When questioned, Cyrinda said she was doing it for the money because she only got $137,000 when their 9-year marriage ended in divorce).
Loretta Lynn was paid a surprise visit by the cops when she accidentally dialed 911 instead of 900 to vote for the video of her new song. “I vote for ‘Country in My genes.’” she said and hung up. A few minutes later, the police were pounding on her door.
According to the wife of “Dharma & Greg” hunk Thomas Gibson, he’s the same uptight, lawyer-type in real life as he is on TV. She sez he’s got his closet arranged by season – linens, cottons and wools.
My spies tell me Britney Spears is mad as a wet hen after a freaky fan sent her a frightening photo of himself – sitting in the bathtub of her new home. Somehow, it seems the guy managed to get inside the $4.5-million mansion Britney had built in Kentwood, La., and snapped pictures of himself inside the palatial abode. That was kinda ironic, since the estate was being constructed in the first place to provide the pop princess with more security.
They say Al and Tipper Gore freaked out a few folks at a Washington Halloween party when they showed up dressed as the cartoon characters Underdog and Polly Purebred.
Oh, oh…a zany fan of Elizabeth Hurley threatened to kill Russian tennis star Anna Kournikova, because she called his idol ugly. The death threat came in the form of a letter to the British Broadcasting Corp.’s Sophie Raworth in Hammersmith, England. The man sending the letter claimed to be a member of a neo-Nazi group known as Combat 18.
I’ve discovered Courtney Cox has discovered a wacky guru named Max – who feeds photos of his followers through a weird machine that’s supposed to provide them with good karma. The word on the set of “Friends” is that she’s so impressed by the kooky spiritual leader, she’s bugging her fellow cast members to follow his teachings.
A magazine profile revealed that Janet Reno covered the walls of her study with cartoons of unflattering images of her, and conducts tours personally to show them off to her guests.
Word on the street has it that Lara Flynn Boyle was browsing in a Beverly Hills boutique when a clerk handed her one of the new “water bras” that supposedly triples your size. I’m told the actress was so thrilled with her “instant cleavage,” she bought nine of them. (The actress is against surgical augmentation, so the new bras were the perfect solution).
Barbara Walters has admitted, at the age of 70, that she has one big regret – she didn’t let “Dirty Harry” star Clint Eastwood make her day when she had the chance. “When he flirted,” she admitted, “I didn’t have the sense to flirt back.”
They say if you wanna oggle the stars in Hollywood today, a good place to go is the L.A. Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. According to attendees at the AA locale in the 90210 zip code, a number of well known faces – including British music star Sir Elton John - were spotted in the audience, listening to Katey Sagal, t he mom in “Married With Children,” talk about the disease that played havoc with her marriage. Also spotted in the crowd was supermodel Kate Moss.
Barry White claims a woman somehow got his phone number and called to ask him to sleep with four of her daughters – all at the same time.
Rumor has it Paula Poundstone’s longtime pals Ellen DeGeneres and Robin Williams have volunteered to help pay the stack of medical and legal bills she’s facing as she fights allegations of child molestation while fighting alcohol addiction.
Some of the guests at a party at Jack Nicholson’s plush pad were startled when the actor pitched handfuls of $50 and $100 bills into his roaring fireplace. Reportedly, he gets a real charge out of seeing the look on people’s faces as they watch the dough go up in smoke.
This just in from Madame Tussaud’s London waxworks museum – they can’t figure out what to do with the wax figure of Nicole Kidman since her divorce from Tom Cruise. A representative from the museum said since the split, Nicole wasn’t as much of a priority to them anymore.
Okay, now Hillary Clinton is saying she knew all about Monica Lewinsky from the beginning. She also commented in her book that she was going to leave Bill after the Monica scandal surfaced, but daughter Chelsea convinced her otherwise.
Anne Heche has admitted she was spaced out on the drug Ecstasy when she suffered her mental breakdown last year. My sources say she was desperately trying to get pregnant a year ago to save her relationship with lesbian galpal Ellen DeGeneres, and when her attempts failed, their affair was doomed. (Anne’s book, “Call Me Crazy,” incidentally, reveals a lot of intimate stuff about her past, including the fact that her father sexually abused her from infancy).
Since his breakup with Elizabeth Hurley, playboy Hugh Grant claims he has dated some 50 women, but, reportedly, can’t find anyone that can measure up to his old flame.
They say Catherine Zeta-Jones and Penelope Cruz both bragged about million-dollar deals to shoot shampoo commercials exclusively for the Japanese market. In their ads, the sexy stars toss their heads, swirling their lucious locks, but – wait-a-minute, Jack – it ain’t their real hair. When the director decided neither of the girls’ hair was “up to snuff,” he hastily brought in body doubles wearing wigs.
Psssst…Lawrence Fishburne was spotted taking off his green velvet jacket and yellow shirt on a 14-hour flight from Sydney to L.A. and putting on a pair of navy blue pajamas.
