My runny-nosed valentine

Nov. 29, 1999 |
In fact, one listen to the actor crooning "My Funny Valentine" on the new soundtrack album from the upcoming flick "The Talented Mr. Ripley" and you may be reaching for the Kleenex, too. The guy sounds like he's got a head cold the size of Ben Affleck's ego -- stuffy nose, fatigue, sore throat, clogged ears and all. His voice is faint and breathy, trails off at the ends of lines and goes flat at least once. His looks may not be laughable, but his singing ... - - - - - - - - - - - - Polished Rock "No, that's me. That's my butt. Cleaned and buffed ... I talked to Harvey Keitel!" -- Chris Rock on whether he used a stunt double to film his "Dogma" nude scene, on BigStar.com. - - - - - - - - - - - - What kids want to know about Monica Lewinsky ... If you had the chance to ask any of the presidential candidates a question, what would it be? Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! Sure, you could ask about gun control or economic policy, but if you're like 16 percent of the voters who responded to a recent Qtopics poll, you'll cut right to the chase and ask Donald Trump if he wears a rug. Or you might be like the 38 percent with questions for Steve Forbes who were dying to know how much money he carries in his wallet, or the 2 percent who'd ask George W. Bush if he thought Dana Carvey could do an impression of him. (Not gonna do it.) But if you were really smart, you'd let a kid do the asking for you. Turns out they ask the darnedest things. Kids ages 7 to10 want the candidates to answer the following questions: "Do you lie?" "Do you like Pokémon?" and "Do you think Monica Lewinsky is pretty?" Who'd like to answer first? Mr. Gore? - - - - - - - - - - - - The innocence of youth "He wasn't afraid of me." -- Hillary Rodham Clinton on what first attracted her to Bill, in Gail Sheehy's biography, "Hillary's Choice." - - - - - - - - - - - - Garth and Trisha: In each other's eyes? He's a little bit country and -- wait a minute -- she's a little bit country, too. But are Garth Brooks' cowboy boots under Trisha Yearwood's bed? According to Parade magazine, the Nashville rumor mill's churnin' out word that the two country crooners may be partners in more than just song. The musicians refuse to talk about their relationship, but a friend of Yearwood's estranged husband, Mavericks bassist Robert Reynolds, says the couple's marriage broke up because Reynolds was "sick of Garth calling the house all the time." Brooks, for his part, shows no sign of ditching his wife, Sandy, and their three daughters. But, who knows? Maybe his rock alter-ego Chris Gaines will. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Are Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston engaged? The dramatic duo set tongues wagging after Aniston showed up at a Sting concert flashing a honkin' rock (no, not Chris Rock -- he'll do his own flashing, thank you). The actors' spokespeople deny the rumor: "She has a ring," Aniston rep Steve Huvane told the New York Daily News, "but it's not an engagement ring." Or at least that's what they'll tell Gwyneth. And speaking of baubles ... there's a little extra ring kissing going on in Hollywood circles these days. Variety reports that CBS Television CEO Leslie Moonves, actors Jeremy Sisto and Jacqueline Bisset and singer LeAnn Rimes have scored an audience with the pope to deliver a copy of "Jesus," the upcoming miniseries. Watch for white smoke if Il Papa likes the flick, black if he thinks it stinks.
