Extra! Extra! Monica inhales ... a candy bar
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Sept. 16, 1999 |
Here's what finally got me: a giddy press report in Scotland's Daily Record that Miss Thong, who recently became an unofficial spokeswoman for diet-monger Jenny Craig, "could not stop herself wolfing down a chocolate bar as she stopped at a petrol station in Santa Monica, Calif." Horrors! She ate a candy bar? At a gas station? Stop the presses! Puh-lease. When a girl's private snacks (pardon) become the breathless stuff of scandal, it's time for reporters to stop and blot the drool off their lipstick. Unless that Hershey bar had nuts. - - - - - - - - - - - - Rambo rambles in limbo "I see everyone else working and I'm not doing dick. I'm in total limbo. I'm a man without a country ... After I made 'Cop Land,' all of Hollywood turned their back." -- Sylvester Stallone on his rocky film career in Susan Faludi's upcoming book "Stiffed: The Betrayal of the Modern Man." - - - - - - - - - - - - More on the chocolaty aftertaste of success Forget that Grammy or the multi-platinum debut album: In the upcoming issue of React magazine, Natalie Maines, the Dixie Chicks' Drew Barrymore-esque lead singer/guitarist, claims she knew she'd really made it as a musician when she was able to satisfy her chocolate jones on a whim. "The thing about having a little bit of money is you don't have to worry about it," she tells the teen mag. "Like, I can buy the $5 M&M's in the hotel mini-bar -- that's luxury." - - - - - - - - - - - - A football fan to the bitter end, part 1 "I'd like to say in closing: What about those Cowboys?" Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! -- The final sentiments of executed murderer William Prince Davis. - - - - - - - - - - - - Why they hid Costner's candy You may think it's for the love of himself, but Kevin Costner claims it's for "the love of the movies" that he's been beefing to anyone who'll listen about Universal's decision to cut his "For the Love of the Game" nude shower scene. The actor has accused the studio of buckling under pressure from the ratings board and of "hurting" audiences by depriving them of a glimpse of his hosed-down nekkidness. But "high-level" sources at Universal recently told New York magazine that it wasn't just the ratings board that balked at the Costner's exposed, quiverin' flesh. At a pre-release test screening for the baseball flick, "the audience giggled at Kevin's penis," one studio exec blabbed. "Then, in focus groups, they said, 'Do we really need to see Kevin Costner's penis?'" - - - - - - - - - - - - A football fan to the bitter end, part 2 "Most of the people I rag about [the Redskins] are Capitol police, and all these guys got guns." -- House Majority Leader Dick Armey on the dangers of being a diehard Dallas Cowboys fan in Washington. - - - - - - - - - - - - Trump makes book Whether or not he decides to make a play for the White House, Donald Trump wants to give you "The America We Deserve." Or rather, he wants you to buy it ... for $24.95. The book, due out in January, promises to share Trump's "vision of the future," including his special thoughts on the economy, defense and social security. But, an advance press release contends, "this is not a dry public-policy book. This is Donald Trump taking on the issues in his no-nonsense, unvarnished manner, offering populist, provocative and sometimes dramatic solutions that no other politician would dare to put forward." But anyone looking forward to the sort of "Look, Ma! No Undies!" revelations proffered by Trump-stumpin' Gov. Jesse Ventura in his self-tattler will undoubtedly be disappointed. "I am the American Dream. Supersized version," writes The Donald. "And I'm going to do everything I can to see that regular Americans can fly as high as their wings will take them." Did Trump ever know he was our hero? He is the wind beneath our wings ...
