Naked Philippine actress: "I was the fifth Teletubby"; Dean Cain's steely resolve; Posh Spice on spin/bladder control; and Monica opens her big mouth again! - - - - - - - - - - - - By Amy Reiter Kids' shows these days! First they bust Barney under the covers with a hot topless Norwegian babe, and now it turns out the Teletubbies have a new breast friend. During a broadcast earlier this month on the GMA Network, a Philippine TV station, a still photo of a half-naked actress filled the screen for eight seconds after a station employee accidentally pressed the wrong button on a panel. And Jerry Falwell thought Tinky Winky was racy ... - - - - - - - - - - - - Beneath all that eye makeup lurks a heart of gold "I'm probably the most normal, down-to-earth human being you've ever seen." -- Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner, keeping it real. - - - - - - - - - - - - Just a guy who Kent say no It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Scrupleman. When Dean Cain accepted the role of a gay man in the upcoming film "Broken Hearts Club," he did so over the objections of his agent and manager -- and at the risk of shocking mom. The erstwhile "Lois and Clark" star, as famous for dating a bevy of Hollywood beauties as for portraying the man of steel, felt he couldn't turn the groundbreaking film down because of its importance as "the first all-gay cast of characters in 30 years." "You have to take a chance," he recently told TV Guide Online. "You have to believe in what you believe in." But while Cain says locking lips with another guy on-screen was "no big deal" for him, he admits his mom might not see it that way. "I know she's going to have a cow the first time she sees my character, because to see me that way is something that she's never seen." And he's impervious to Kryptonite, too. - - - - - - - - - - - - He expected maybe evening gowns? "Tonight's a great night for blue suits, white shirts and red ties." -- Tom Brokaw, killing time before last week's State of the Union address. - - - - - - - - - - - - Posh slosh The skinny on Posh Spice's post-partum weight loss? It worried her, too. In an interview with the BBC, Posh (aka Victoria Beckham) admitted that the rampant tabloid speculation about an eating disorder got her "freaked out" and "paranoid" enough to get herself checked out by a doctor. "They said [the weight loss] is just something that happens when you have children," she said. But she can't seem to shed the paranoia. "We were out at dinner the other day and I was absolutely bursting for the toilet," she recalled, "and it's quite sad to think you can't even go to the toilet because if you do, people are going to think you're throwing up." Quite sad indeed. - - - - - - - - - - - - And you thought he had no feelings "Because you have been in prison and you've got a record that doesn't mean that it's over for you. It doesn't mean you're a piece of trash and should be cast away like a used towel." -- Mike Tyson, knocking the British law that almost denied him entry into the U.K. because of his rape conviction. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits The details are starting to seep out about alleged Brooke Shields stalker Ronald Bailey's tactics -- and they ain't pretty. Not only is Bailey accused of toting an illegal gun and tailing the actress for months, he's also allegedly sent her more than 100 sexually explicit, threatening letters over the last 15 years as well as dozens of lewd, naked snaps of himself. Suddenly ... disgusting. Barbara Walters and Monica Lewinsky just can't seem to get enough of each other. The world's most famous intern turned handbag designer and Jenny Craig flogger will again face her favorite female interrogator on ABC's "The View" on Feb. 22. Walter's challenge, should she choose to accept it, is to get Lewinsky to say something more outrageous than what she said on "Larry King Live" a few weeks back: "I have learned not to put things in my mouth that are bad for me." salon.com | Jan. 31, 2000   - - - - - - - - - - - - About the writer Amy Reiter is a staff writer for Salon People.
