Love in the time of phlegm and potties that bite

Dec. 4, 1999 |
- - - - - - - - - - - - Monday: "My runny-nosed valentine" Someone, please, hand Matt Damon a Sudafed. He needs it ... bad. 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 ...

"All accomplishments are the result of team effort. But none has been so profound and total in my life as the team of Olson and Olson," she writes of her husband, fellow Washington insider Ted Olson "We became engaged during the Vince Foster phase of the investigation, got married in between depositions and hearings, and heard about the first FBI file while on our honeymoon." Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy!

A Canadian named Edward Skwarek is suing Starbucks Corp. for $1.5 million, claiming that his penis was crushed by a loose toilet seat at a New York Starbucks. Skwarek's lawyer, Richard Robbins, told Reuters his client "was in a seated position on the toilet when he turned to retrieve the toilet paper in back of the seat when the seat shifted causing his penis to be caught and crushed between the seat and the bowl."

At a recent forum on privacy and the press, Coz held up the ex-Mrs. Willis as a primo example of celebrities whining about their privacy while flinging the doors to their personal lives wide open. "Demi will do anything in her power to create publicity, to create a sexy image for herself," carped Coz. "We don't pick on her, she thrusts herself at us."

We were immediately herded into a big pale-yellow living room and welcomed by Sen. Teddy himself, looking trim, if a little wan. He stood in the center of his formal home and sang the praises of the magazine we'd come to fete: The American Prospect, a 10-year-old quarterly magazine of liberal thought that's just gone biweekly. "A Robert Kuttner column a day helps keep the conservatives at bay," he said, expressing his regard for the magazine's co-founder. The line got a hearty, appreciative laugh from the crowd -- blame the wine. Soon the crowd launched into its own exciting parlor games. "Sen. Kennedy looks like himself," commented one woman, standing beneath a colorful painting of flowers signed "Ted K." "I was surprised." (What do you people in Omaha do for fun?)
