Nov. 2, 2001  |  Whatever you do, don't accuse Penelope Cruz of being looksist. The actress insists that, even though she's dating heartthrob king Tom Cruise, she doesnt give a fig about his appearance. It's the way he laughs and kisses that turns her on.

"For me the way a man looks is of secondary importance," Cruz told German magazine Max. "The man who I find attractive has to have a sense of humor and he's got to be a good kisser."

And we've all seen "Top Gun" enough times to know that Cruise is, in fact, a hilariously passionate puckerer. Not that it's only laughs and licks Penelope's after.

No, it's much deeper than that. It's a soul thing.

"I feel attracted to a man when I feel a spiritual relationship to him," she says. "Then the chemistry's right and there's not much more to say."

Well, then we'll just leave it at that.

First George Clooney, now this

"Choosing between Aidan Quinn and Pierce Brosnan is my biggest problem. I'm sorry if every woman in Ireland is jealous of me now. But, I'll give them back after."

-- "ER" star Julianna Margulies on her guilt over playing a very lucky corner of a love triangle in the upcoming film "Evelyn," on showbizireland.com.

The Famie game

Is anyone watching "Survivor 3," the Kenya chapter?

Keith Famie -- the chef from "Survivor 2" whose rice was apparently as mushy and overdone as his marriage proposal -- is.

In fact, now that the debut of his Food Network show, "Keith Famie's Adventures," is nigh upon us, Famie has seen fit to offer his assessment of the Kenyan fare he figures the show's early castoffs enjoyed.

Braised warthog and zebra are particularly toothsome, says Famie, who traveled to Africa for his own show. And black shark pan-fried with mayonnaise and cinnamon is so flavorful, he tells Wireless Flash News, he's thinking of adding it to the menu at his Detroit eatery.

But Famie will not try to sell the traditional Kenyan delicacy milk-flavored blood to his Midwestern clientele. "It's not the kind of thing you get a craving for," he says.

Unless, of course, you're Richard Hatch.
