Tabloid BITS AND PIECES 01/17
PUSSSYKATT
--Federico Castelluccio's character Furio -- Edie Falco's ponytailed heartthrob
-- abruptly fled to Italy late last season, likely never to return. But here's
the good news: Federico just got a call from execs saying his "Sopranos" career
doesn't sleep with the fishes -- want him BACK next season in a surprise
return. Said Federico: "I hope I won't end up dead like Ralph!"
--"Far From Heaven" star Julianne Moore stunned staffers at a photo shoot for a
glitzy fashion mag cover when they brought out a huge rack with dozens of
dresses -- and the actress told her 5-year-old son: "You choose." The little
fella leafed through the outfits, picked out a bright red one -- and Julianne
wore it on the cover!
--"Chicago" co-star Renee Zellweger was dining with a girlfriend at
Moonshadow's in Malibu when who should walk in but the man she once claimed was
the love of her life: Jim Carrey. What's more, Jim and his agent were led to a
table just a few feet from Renee! Jim smiled, but Renee -- who dumped the
funnyman -- looked like she wanted to crawl under the table!! Finally, Renee
quit trying to act cool, hailed a waiter -- and got moved to a table far, far
away.
--At an outing at a Malibu pet store with his two young sons, rocker Tommy Lee
was THRILLED when staffers began feeding live mice to a snake! Tommy blurted
with glee: "Isn't this great?!" -- while the boys squirmed in horror. (Their
mom Pam Anderson -- an ardent animal rights activist -- must've FLIPPED when
she heard the tale!!)
--"Maid in Manhattan" star Jennifer Lopez is cleaning house in Hollywood --
fiancé Ben Affleck's bachelor pad, that is! Ben's pool table: going . . . His
jukebox: going . . . His big king bed: GONE! Said a pal: "Ben knew there was no
way Jennifer was going to sleep in the same bed where Ben had slept with other
women!"
--The movie musical "Chicago" is a huge hit -- but star Catherine Zeta-Jones
took quite a few hits to make it happen. The actress kept getting whacked in
the face by heavy beads dangling from her dress while she performed a cartwheel
dance number. It got so bad that shooting had to be stopped several times while
makeup artists tried to cover up the nasty red whip lines the beads left on her
face!
--Bruce Willis partied so hearty at a BevHills Japanese restaurant that he had
to come back the next night and apologize! Bruce and his entourage blew into
the quiet neighborhood eatery for sushi and spirits, guzzling beer and wine and
putting away enough raw fish to fill a trawler's hold -- all the while
rollicking loudly and disturbing the other diners. The following evening a
repentant Bruce -- who's a regular at trendy Sushi-Ko -- returned and said "so
sorry" to the staff . . . then made amends by forking over HUGE tips to
everyone!
--Chris Tucker just became a member of the Aston Martin set. The "Rush Hour"
star -- who used to drive to comedy gigs in a beat-up Jetta with an old pizza
box covering a busted window -- just shelled out $200,000 for the James Bond
car.
--Out shopping in LA, "Far From Heaven" actress Julianne Moore was horrified
when a guy ran up to her, grabbed her in a bear hug and shouted, "I love you so
much -- you are so beautiful!" Before Julianne could call for security, she
recognized her fan -- wacky "Will & Grace" star Sean Hayes! Exuberant Sean was
so starstruck he dialed a pal and asked Julianne to say, "Hi!" After the
gracious actress left, Sean gushed to his friend: "I'm going to get her on the
show if it's the last thing I do!"
STAR MAGAZINE/JANET CHARLTON...
--Forget fancy-schmancy overpriced Beverly Hills salons for former Veronica's
Closet star Kathy Najimy. The no-frills actress prefers to get her nails done
at a tiny mall salon in Studio City for six bucks. Then she goes next door to
Supercuts and gets a bargain haircut for $13. Now that's beauty on a budget!
--Poor Freddie Prinze Jr. found it hard to relax on his second honeymoon in
Hawaii because his anal-retentive wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar, had every second
scheduled. From morning to bedtime, it was water aerobics, hiking and gym
workouts. "It was like boot camp," Freddie complained to a pal. He wanted a day
off to play golf, but Buffy the slay driver checked her flow sheet and told
him: "Sorry, no time!"
--Mark Wahlberg dashed into the Le Pain French bakery in West Hollywood and
started jumping up and down, frantically asking where the bathroom was. But the
manager, who didn't recognize him, told him it was for customers only. You'd
think the Planet of the Apes star would have gone bananas, but he just said,
"OK, I'll buy something!" After a quick trip to the john, he bought a bag of
pastries, which he gave to a homeless man outside.
--Renee Zellweger took her mom on a girlie shopping spree in the cosmetics
department of Saks in Beverly Hills – and went wild! The Chicago star giddily
skipped from counter to counter, trying out all the new products and colors.
She picked out a bunch of stuff and then told the saleswoman: We'll take TWO of
everything. It all cost a pretty penny, but Renee was unfazed.
--It was terror at 30,000 feet for James McDaniel, who played Lt. Arthur Fancy
on NYPD Blue. The actor was on a flight to Jamaica, seated next to old pal
Wendell Pierce from the HBO series The Wire. Everything was fine until James
stood up to take a walk and passed out cold, crumbling to the floor. Luckily,
he came to and was fine, but everyone else on the plane was afraid that he'd
had a heart attack. James says he was just exhausted from working 16-hour days
on a movie in Salt Lake City. He was playing golf in Jamaica the next day.
--Barbra Streisand just hired a new masseuse – and already the diva is
rubbing HER the wrong way. Babs refuses to lay face down on the massage table
because she's afraid she'll get wrinkled. So she gets her back done while lying
on her side. To make matters worse, the entertainer schedules her sessions for
midnight – three or four times a week. She says a massage before bedtime is
the best way for her to get to sleep. Whatever happened to counting sheep?
--Christina Aguilera arrived with half a dozen bodyguards for a late-night get
together at the Sunset Marquis Hotel in L.A., thrown by Sopranos star Drea De
Matteo. Christina's burly guys scoped out the place before Christina entered
and made sure Drea had ingredients for Sex on the Beach, Christina's favorite
cocktail. When Drea told the burly guys she "wasn't a bartender" the saucy
singer bought her drinks at the hotel bar and brought them in. The bodyguards'
last assignment: carrying out a very woozy Christina at 4 a.m.
--Speaking of pigging out, hungry Queen Latifah and a pal popped into a
doughnut shop in Hollywood and picked a dozen chocolate and maple doughnuts to
go. Meanwhile, a guy walked up and announced he's a big fan, and that he can't
wait to see her new movie, Chicago. Latifah replied, "What're you talking
about?" The confused guy asked, "Aren't you Queen Latifah?" And she said, "Oh,
everybody thinks I look like her. I can't even stand her music!" She then paid
for her pastries and left.
--Tough-talking Sopranos star Aida Turturro, who plays Tony's big sister on the
HBO show, was rummaging through the racks at Loehmann's in Paramus, N.J., when
she dropped her purse and her keys, cellphone and wallet spilled onto the
floor. As Aida cursed a blue streak, an outraged mom with children caught her
eye and said, "EXCUSE me!" Unfazed, Aida gathered her stuff and shrugged,
"Yeah, f$#@ing whatever!"

This is not the first story I've read about how controlling SMG is. This
marriage won't last and there won't be any children.

Thank God Hollywood is trending away from those horrid SUVs and toward the
more realistic, less gas guzzling Aston Martins.
When will we, the little people, finally start following their humble,
amibitious lead.
