From his column in this week's Voice, March 9 1999, here are Musto's
latest blind items -- slightly edited towards the end, where he
strays into the rhetorical. Comments within parentheses are Musto's
own.

***********
Which ambiguous matinee idol developed an obsession with that politico's
son, a situation sonny became so nervous about he promptly planted a
gossip item in one of the dailies stating that he has a girlfriend?

What rapidly aging screen ingenue's dad might as well have phoned the
columns when he was seen holding hands in broad daylight with a broad
who in any light is not his wife?

What equally indiscreet famous relation accidentally kept a body mike
on after she left a benefit, inadvertently allowing everyone inside
the fundraiser to hear her mutterings - no doubt drug-related - for an
uncomfortably long amount of time?

What family magazine that did a cover story on that much more guarded
showbiz personality was terrified said star would come out in their
interview? She didn't.

What former talk-show host hires prosties to sit on his knee, act
girlish, and call him "Daddy" - though they probably would anyway?

And speaking of girlish, which prepubescent nymphs in that arty theater
project became so close - in showers and beyond - that they had to
be broken up by disapproving spoilsports?

What auteur nutjob bad-mouthed his older costar, clearly irked
that she dared to spurn his clumsy pass on the set?

What titled person earned another title- slut - when he gainfully
employed oodles of male hustlers while cavorting on the West Coast?

What porn star is a part-time rent boy who's been hired by that
movie mogul and that faded sitcom actor, just to name two illustrious
checkbook carriers?

What owner of a popular Chelsea restaurant self-loathingly enough
tells friends, "I don't want this to be a place for queens"?

What diva developed a black eye when the doctor administering her Botox
shot accidentally hit an artery? (And we thought she only had nerves.)

What comic-film director used to get off on watching his famous
wife do it with that female comedy legend, according to that
still-living 1930s movie star? Why don't I believe that 1930s movie
star? (Free answer: Because, while I'm sure the two women got it on, I
sincerely doubt that the director got off on it.)

What wildly successful daughter/actress is a devilish deadbeat who
has to be coerced to pay her rent?

What Christian recording artist/prick had a boyfriend he used to beat
up in decidedly non-Christian fashion before he magically acquired a
beard-slash-wifeypoo?

What actor was boyfriends until recently with that hotshot director
who helped guide him to Oscar?

What internationally known designer is gay, and his wife apparently
knows it; she recently told a handsome young 'un, "I'd better not
leave you alone with my husband. He likes cute boys like you"?

What tough-guy movie star started that ridiculous gerbil rumor all
those years ago because he fancied himself a competitor with Richard
Gere and figured it would be easier to spread the gossip than
simply learn how to act?

What hypnotist-magician is a sham who makes his TV subjects sign
releases saying they won't reveal all the pre-scripting?

What glammy new star has a not very glamorous little weenie?

What gonzo reporter is rumored to have made an unrequited play for
Andrew Sullivan at a party?

What blond actress has a prosthetic finger - not as a result of
fighting with that famed scion - that she lost on a recent TV movie
set, causing much hilarious havoc?

What awards show scene-stealer is a flamingly gay trophy boy?

What much acclaimed glossy style-mag editor is a fabulous lesbian
with a baby?

What thirtyish heartthrob, a worldwide masturbatory fantasy, is a
walking testament to hair plugs?

What lithe crossover diva/cunt would stare straight ahead, reach
out her hand, and demand "Water!" during a recent video shoot, and,
on a separate occasion, alienated a major designer by ripping a hole in
the dress he'd made for her, because she thought it looked better that
way?

What gimmicky '98 movie originally had characters sporting Nazi
armbands, which had to be digitally altered at great expense when
test audiences found it unsettling?

What unkempt, druggy indie director made a play for a drag queen
friend of mine?

What screen legend was approached last year by a fan who said, "You
were robbed at the Oscars," to which she charmingly replied, "Was I
speaking to you?" (Another freebie: Lauren Bacall.)

What superstar her again was dining with one of her good-for-nothing
but gorgeous ex-boyfriends when he murmured, "Can I have $10,000"?
How smart was she that she said no?

Why has the new Robin Byrd­presented CD of Latin love songs only
been distributed to HMV? (I have no idea, but as Byrd exclaims,
"They should be at Virgin! My Grammy dreams are lost!")

Could that teenie group seem any gayer?

What's the most bizarre new porno video? (Answer: Bend Over, Boyfriend,
an instructional tape about female-to-male anal penetration, for all those
straight guys anxious to be plowed by ladies bearing strap-on dildos.
Come on, try it, Kelly and John!)

Which of Monica Lewinsky's remarks on 20/20 gets the "close but
no cigar" award for not quite capturing why Bill was hot for her?
("Sometimes you just need a piece of . . . normalcy.")

I'd say Merv Griffin, but acting "boyish" would be more appropriate, so I'll go
with Johnny Carson.

In "Dude" magazine's June 1998 issue, Douglas Jerrybill, author of the "Dude
Dish" column, wrote: "When Hollywood's biggest gay pimp was busted on tax
evasion charges last year, investigators going through his records were
surprised to find actor Tony Danza's name on the lengthy client list.
According to the pimp's records (he accepted both Visa and MasterCard, but not
American Express), Danza's favorite treat was mega-hung porn star Ken Ryker,
who earned over $6,000 a week servicing Danza and others. Most insiders agree
that the several-times-married Danza probably preferred paying for sex because
it was easier than coming out of the closet and admitting that he's bisexual
(or even totally gay like his twin brother). Now THERE is a scoop, fellas."

Dunno who the movie mogul is.

Oscar de la Renta's also married and to
a socialite type who'd easily have the
panache for this.

Is Calvin Klein still married? I think
he and Kelly Klein might be separated,
but not divorced. Naturally, it's amicable.

Leonardo Dicaprio, but I have no idea who the "politico's son" is.

Merv Griffin, without a doubt.

I'd say Shania Twain. Just because of the word "crossover". Otherwise I'd
guess Mariah Carey

Quentin Tarrentino? Or John Waters, but that would suprise no-one.

Highly unlikely ... "girlish" ain't Merv's thing.

Quentin, maybe. Waters isn't "unkempt, druggy." Quite the contrary.

He and Kelly divorced several years ago, as I recall, and she is well rid of
him. Ecch. And how amicable can it be if they are divorcing?

I will never forgive that cocksucker for one thing: when the AIDS crisis hit,his
response was to marry a woman.

This author has admitted that this entire story was a fabrication. It was done
to embarrass Danza because he made some very nasty comments about Ellen
deGeneris about the time of her coming out.

BTW, this gossip columnist is one of the most reviled men in all of porn
because of his talent to fabricate stories. There are many, many threads about
him in the ATKOL forums.

This same colum featured a story about another porn star and Ted Danson. The
porn star quickly filed a lawsuit and the item (as well as the above) was
retracked.

That has to be our favourite friend, Henry Brockenlocke (sp?),

hasn't stopped him going after 'bad' boys. He's primarily LA-based,
but when he's in London, he's - allegedly - known for prowling through
the London streets looking for pretty boys.

Oh, come on. How vague can you get?

Here's a BI of my own!!

This legendary heart throb is a known violent male chauvinist. Proof?
Here are three examples: During the argument over feminism, he got
into a real brawl with the 70s directors' favourite gutsy actress on
the set, giving her two broken front teeth. The actor was sacked from
a film project immediately after punching the actress/producer in the
face during the argument over her political beliefs. After a teenaged
actress refused to obey her then-husband's order to leave a certain
party, the swede grabbed a handful of her hair and dragged her out of
the house, shoving her toward her husband's car. He told the
bewildered husband, "Remember - actions speak louder than words.
That's the only language women understand." This now legendary
actress - soon to be a Dame - still haven't forgiven the actor and to
this day, steadily refuse to acknowledge his existence.

Given his track record, sounds more like Tony Curtis.

Have any of these been on the cover of a "family" mag like Good
Housekeeping or Ladies Home Journal? Wasn't Rosie O'Donnell on the cover
of one of those recently?

Does RH have any connection to Blake Edwards, Julie Andrews & Carol
Burnett? If so, I think we have a winner.

are more successful.

Combining something I heard with another poster, I would say it is Blake
Edwards, Julie Andrews and Ruth Hussey. I actually don't know who this
last person is, so that doesn't come with a warranty.

Possible, but when was Leo ever paired with a girlfriend in the gossip
pages? He's been portrayed as a partyboy/pussy hound <snicker> since
Titanic.

FWIW, a friend - who's currently working on 'The Beach' - told me
that Di Caprio is still with his girlfriend, Kristen Zang (or whatever
the model's name is). She's been with him on the location of The
Beach for a month, and she is still over there - but she will be
leaving for the USA some time this month. There are six gay actors
and four gay crew members (well, this friend likes to know who's gay -
so he'd have someone to shag), and according to the friend, Di
Caprio seems to be just gay-friendly, no flirting going on between him
and any of these chaps, including my friend himself. (I, personally,
think Di Caprio is bisexual - leaning toward women, but my friend
disagree. There you go.)

Overall, this friend thought Di Caprio is one of the most friendliest
'celebrities' he's ever met, even though Di Caprio is crap at poker.
The friend was delighted to discover that Di Caprio is a talented
storyteller (aka gossip) - so he will tell me all about it when he
gets home in late April. Hehehehe.

Hussey is best known for her role as Liz Imbrie in The Philadelphia
Story (James Stewart, Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn). She did
many, many 30s (mainly screwball) comedy films - including Another

Oh, I think I know who you are talking about. His name is Paul. I
can't remember his surname. Are you thinking of the one who is
in his 30s and have blue eyes? He did an American tour last year
and appeared twice on the Montrel Williams Show.

Actually, Your Sublimity, his seeming rudeness can be explained by cultural

Then a pox on both the hypocrites. Their sham marriage carried exactly one
message: "Calvin Klein loves to have sex with men, but is not gay."

BTW, I worked at the Klein home office back in the late 80's -- never saw
Himself, but everyone knew when he was in the office and avoided any contact with
him, especially when he was in pain and mood-altered following a lunch-hour trip
to his Park Avenue cosmetic surgeon, who was repairing CK's acne scars, one by

Ralph Lauren. Hes about the only big name still doing the beard bit isn't he?

Lauren and Hilfiger are hetero family men-- they're businessmen who put their
names on a designer brand, and not into the fashion "scene" at all. Oscar De La
Renta, on the other hand.. (as previous posters have mentioned.)

Cole himself is married to Cuomo's daughter Maria. Any daughters they have
would not have hit puberty yet ;)
Chris Cuomo, Mario's younger son, runs with the downtown crowd, so if it were
any Cuomo it would be him.

Rats, back to the drawing board. When I saw the "Dame" part (the
married teenage actress who was mauled by the Legendary Heart Throb
and is now due to become a Dame) I thought, has to be British. I had
the Legendary Heart Throb all sewn up to be Connery and was working on
the actress -- can't be Judi or Maggie since they are already Dames;
Vanessa, Diana and Julie don't fit because (as far as I can tell) they
weren't married in their teens; could it be Anna Massey? Joanna David?
the utterly fabulous Sian Phillips? (would Peter O'Toole really allow
his missus to be dragged around by another guy? Sounds like something
he'd prefer to do for himself).

Now you're saying that they're all American? or just living in the
USA?

If they're British-born but living in the USA, I'm guessing that the
actor is Anthony Hopkins and the actress is Helen Mirren but I'm
probably way out (I have a feeling that Mirren's recent marriage to
Taylor Hackford was her first).

Well, a swede (lower-case "s") is an unappealing British veggie, like
a turnip -- so, perhaps in Catty's argot it's a term of abuse. Catty?
You've got to come back and clear up this "swede" business! It's got us

I thought he was openly bisexual. I
think he's been married twice and has
a daughter from his first marriage. Isn't
she the one who was kidnapped as
a child?

That said, the FOAF I knew who slept
with him was, indeed, male.

For some reason the combination of Oliver Reed and Glenda Jackson comes
to mind. The two of them made three films together in the 70's, and
years later he made some comments about all the actresses he'd "had",
including Glenda while they were making Ken Russell's Women in Love.
Her response, IIRC, was a disdainful comment about his fantasy life.
The character of Gudrun was a feminist, and there were scenes of
sexual/verbal violence between her and Reed's character, Gerald. Don't
recall ever reading that Reed (rhymes with swede?) was ever fired from a
film though. And of course, Reed also worked with Vanessa Redgrave in
the 70s, in another Ken Russell film, The Devils. This would have been
at the height of her political outbursts. (Unfortunately for the BI,
neither of these actresses was credited as a producer as well.)

The only well-known actresses I can think of who were married in their
teens are Liz Taylor, Melanie Griffith and Raquel Welch. None is to be
made a Dame, as far as I know--perhaps there's going to be a revival of
South Pacific...?

Thank you, Imogen(!) May I clarify a bit more? The heart throb is
an American. Three actresses - (in order) Canadian, American and
English-born American. They all live in the US. And I wasn't
*deliberately* trying to screw your heads up. So FUI.

To muddle things up even more, I have been told off by my source
for miscrediting a certain film role to this heartthrob. I was trying
to be clever, but ack - it backfired on me. 'The Swede' was a film
(and in Hemmingway's short story) character's name. So to those
who guessed (somewhat) correctly, the dodgy heart throb wasn't
Burt Lancaster. I'm sorry, ASGers. Next time - I'll check the details
before posting. All details are correct, except for two words - The
Swede. I'm really, really sorry for upsetting two Burt Lancaster fans
- and for wasting many ASGers' time in musing over 'The Swede'.

AFAIK, Lancaster has never committed these acts against women.

Was Starship Troopers made in '98? The characters seemed to be all but
sporting the nazi symbol on their clothes.

Two guesses (and I suck at blind items, so they're probably both lame.
But...

1. For some reason, I really like Donald Sutherland for this one. Yes,
it's a stretch, I know. He's no legendary heartthrob, but he did make
"Casanova," and they don't come any more legendary than that. Also, he's
Canadian, not American, but it's possible that Catty doesn't know that.
Now, as for the women, I nominate Julie Christie for the Brit. Remember
all the stories about Nick Roeg making her fuck Sutherland for real in
"Don't Look Now," and her cracking up afterward? For the Canadian, maybe
Kate Nelligan in that WW II thing. (Wishful thinking, perhaps; I've
always wanted to see that bitch roughed up a little.) And as for the
British-born American...not a fuckin' clue.

2. How about Warren Beatty? ("Legendary heartthrob" damn sure works for
him.) The Brit would, again, be Julie Christie (poor thing). The
Canadian? No idea. Has he ever done anything with Genevieve Bujold? But
the British-born American could be...wait for it...none other than
Elizabeth Taylor, in "The Only Game in Town." (That's the late-sixties


"Leaving Las Vegas" prequel in which Liz asks him to carry her into the
bedroom, and he 'bout buckles under all that avoirdupois.)

3. Okay, I know I said two. But does Tony Curtis work?

Didn't he beat up on Margot Kidder on a film they did in Mexico, I'm sure
I read about this in the late'80's or early '90's.

Isn't that just like her ... and that "swede" business, too.

Ok, it's Jack Nicholson.

If the actor is Nicholson, then this is Ellen Burstyn on the set of THE

Streisand? or Fonda? Was the film project ROLLOVER?

You'd think there'd be enough clues here to name the actress but I'm
stumped. It's not Glenda Jackson -- she's too old (in that she's as old
as Nicholson -- I don't see how their paths could have crossed when
they were in their teens).

I'd give you the prize, but you got the wrong actor. Right incident,
but wrong actor.

(God, I'm so glad that I'm not the only one who've mistaken him for
the other one. Michael, you'll get your invitation to become our
latest puppy's godfather very soon.)

Yep. But I do know that Cole's kid married *somebody* in that family.

I'm sure you'll have to give me the guy's initials before I can guess
this, but ... Mel Gibson? (He and Margot were both in MAVERICK in the
early 90's). Or Redford? (who made THE GREAT WALDO PEPPER with Margot a
few years earlier). I can't imagine it's Christopher Reeve! Gibson
seems more likely than Redford to be the woman-bashing chauvinist but
somehow I had the impression that this guy had been in the business longer
than Gibson has.

I can only think of two crossover female artists. Shania Twain and
Faith Hill. Faith Hill doesn't seem like the bitchy type so my guess
for Musto's blind item (crossover diva) would be Twain.

Give me a lever, a place to stand, and I will move the world.

Courtney Love is also a crossover artist, in that's she's crossed over
from music to film.
