Q. I thought I noticed Faye Dunaway wearing braces in a recent photograph. Am I nuts or what? – M.J. – Tulsa, Okla.

Q. I’m reading lots of bizarre things about Sally Jessy Raphael in the supermarket tabloids since her TV show was cancelled. Why does the press ridicule personalities when they are no longer considered “a hot property” by the network? – Y.E. – Plano, Tx.
A. Most of what you’ve been hearing about Sally has been from her angry chauffeur, Michael Schutt. The press is just reporting his comments. Sally’s off the set behavior has always been considered “questionable,” but somehow has been overlooked in the past. She’s taken toiletries for years from just about every hotel she stays in and uses the soaps, shampoos and moisturizers in the guest bathrooms of her home. She also has “raided” maid’s carts and has even been known to poke around in her neighbor’s garbage containers.

She took courses in Krav Maga, the aggressive street-fighting discipline used by the Israeli Army, which has become the hottest fitness regimen in Hollywood.

A. Sly had planned TV series about a hero priest, and was set to produce a pilot for CBS but things have temporarily been put on hold because of the sex scandal rocking the Catholic church. Some media people are saying this will force Stallone to cancel his plans, but the former “Rocky” star sez he doesn’t think the scandal will have any affect on his show. Most Hollywood oddsmakers, however, say it’s a long shot.

Q. Has Elton John been exiled from France? I’ve been hearing all sorts of nasty rumors. – B.P. – Montreal, Canada.
A. Elton is leaving France, but nobody is kicking the “Candle in the Wind” star out of the country. John put his $7-million hilltop mansion near Nice on the market a few days after the April French primary election, when anti-gay and racist presidential candidate, Jean-Marie Le Pen garnered
7-million votes. Elton has told authorities that he can’t live in a country where an extremist like Le Pen could become president.
