WAITERS at the upmarket Los Angeles eatery, Jackson’s, were flabbergasted when a couple of bearded priests walked in, ordered hard drinks and then started narrating raunchy jokes to the astounded guests. For a few minutes, there was silence all around as the snooty guests found it hard to believe how such scruffy people were permitted into the restaurant. But soon enough the management swung into action. When bouncers came up to their table and asked the two guys to leave, it turned out they were no priests. But Steve Martin and Robin Williams rehearsing their roles for a new movie titled Church Choir. Needless to say, they got a standing ovation from the dinners and the management for their astounding performances. Heir apparel
Clothes do make a man. At least that’s what Michael Douglas believes. The star of such huge hits as Wall Street, Till Death Do Us Part and War of the Roses and Fatal Attraction is redefining men’s were by picking up stylish apparel from some of the trendiest shops. So, it wasn’t surprising that the exclusive Barney’s store was all in attendance when Douglas walked in. He headed straight for the designer section, tried on piles of clothes and a couple of hours later, walked out with apparel worth over $ 20,000. It is little wonder that
the store has appointed a man to specially look into the requirements of
the clothes-horse and keep him posted about the latest inventory. |
Though the questions kept popping on a chat show recently, hotshot singer-actress Gloria Estefan did not give any revealing answers. Instead she revealed much else. Right in front of an invited live audience. Estefan and her host got the shock of their lives when one of her buttons popped out of her tight-fitting dress and exposed her breast. It was an eyeful for the pleasantly surprised male audience, but the Cuban-born beauty was embarrassed beyond words and dashed out of the sets. Though the scene was edited out of the show but the invited audiences — which included many males — had quite an eyeful. It’s not surprising to learn that Estefan has now dumped all her tight dresses and is opting for the less ‘risky’ ones. Jumpin’ Jackson
Michael Jackson is hopping mad. And this time his anger isn’t directed at any record company but — of all the people — at a Japanese restaurant. And he had a jolly good reason to be mad. Recently, he booked the entire place so that he and his very close friends could gorge on his favourite Sushi dinner out of the public gaze. As a starter, he was served a glass of, Sake. Busy talking to friends, he gulped it down. The strictly teetotaller Jackson started jumping with rage when he realised he had gulped rice wine. Screaming murder, he walked out, swearing never to come again. Insult was added to injury the next morning, when he received a bill of $2,800 for the wasted food! Bumpy drive
He sure is a family type. The way he keep flipping over his wife and kids, tough man Arnold Schwarzenegger must be the steadiest home-lover in Hollywood. Recently, he had a surprise in store for wife Maria Shriver’s birthday. He gifted her a custom-made $2,50,000 Porsche. Which must have made the car-loving Maria awfully happy. But Maria isn’t looking too pleased. That’s because her legs barely reach the accelerator and the brakes. Known for driving hard bargains, Schwarzenegger had the Porsche guys make more leg room for the driver so she could drive around comfortably. But they have left such gap that the space is comfortable enough only for muscleman himself. Blonde ambition
Candice Bergen is livid with Jodie Foster and Foster doesn’t even know it. The blonde star of the top rated Murphy Brown, asked Warner Brothers to close down the studio gym when she did her work-outs while filming for the TV serial. But she got a firm, "No!" for an answer. The reason? She was advised to follow the example of Jodie Foster, who never made such unreasonable demands whenever she wanted to work out at the gym. If Jodie could do it, surely every star could. She may not be as hot as the Jodie Foster, but blonde star Candice doesn’t like being equated with the Oscar-winning actress. "She’s she and I’m I," is all that the seething lady would say. — Newsmen
