FWIW, last night on TDS, a guest brought Stewart back a pack of cigs from Iraq with some propaganda on it, and Stewart said “Well, I look forward to take up smoking again!”
Did MTV bring back REMOTE CONTROL? I remember the version from the 80’s with Kari Wuhrer, but not Jenny McCarthy (who had to be a teenager when the original aired).
McCarthy was on a dating show of some type, but I didn’t know she was on R.C.
I think he might have meant Singled Out.
Shock and awe (yes BOTH shock and awe) that’s what I was struck with! Actually, the lady behind me came up afterwards and said ((appalled)) “Why! He looked down your shirt! You should be ashamed of wearing that to meet the President!” Yup. It was summer, I waited outside 8 hours, I was wearing a tank top. What?
I was proud though, called my mom and told her. She was proud. Everyone was proud.
And, hijack over!
I wouldn’t imagine so. They have lives.
Based on my limited experience, I’d say he’s a pretty good guy. Clearly, he’s very family oriented: seemed like every family member was at his 40th birthday party and he clung to them all night. He can take a joke. Example: at a Pediatric AIDS Foundation Fundraiser he was the target of a dunking machine and made light of getting dunked over and over and over. When he left the dunk tank in tow among others was Mimi Rogers, his first wife (this took place after the Nicole split), so it’s hard to imagine that he’s a jerk when he still clearly close friends to Rogers. Another at that fundraiser he spent significant time reading to all the children there.
And yeah, he’s really little. I’d say 5-6 or 5-7. I’m 5-8 (and a half) and I’m taller than he is.
My apologies for overlooking your question. I’m a bit red-faced about it.
My bad. Yes, I meant Remote Control. I only wish she was back on that show!
Many of them. On the whole, I would say more are juice, Perrier or Diet Coke drinkers than aren’t. I would say on the whole, a great many celebrities are driven, hard working people dedicated to their craft. As one might expect, I would say the younger ones party more, but that’s not a general rule for the lot of them.
George Clooney and his crew are party animals (Mark Wahlberg among them at the “Perfect Storm” premiere), but that’s less common a thing than you might think.
George drank Screwdrivers. Wahlberg drank Heinekens.
David Spade (different party): Maker’s Mark and Diet Coke.
Yay!
I’ve been waiting for someone to start this thread, 
and about Cruz and Cruise, it’s funny you mention her public profession of adoration for Tom. It’s been my suspicion that she was forced per se to have a studio relationship with Tom. Otherwise lose face right after the Nicole debacle. WHy do i care, I really don’t I just have a creepy feeling about him.
Reveal the Dark Tales…
What impressions of **E.Estevez ** and SHeen?
and **Baldwin ** brothers?
Well, this was very NOT public. When Cruz proclaimed her love for Tom I have very little doubt that it was sincere – voice cracking, tears, the whole shot – and there were absolutely no reporters or anyone else there to spread gossip at all (well, except me, apparently). So I really consider her affection for him legitimate. Maybe it was just a fling and it died down. Maybe… ah, who knows, you know? Hard to speculate on Cruise’s motives. Maybe he’s bi? The only thing that stands out is that when he was young he was very much into wearing really long hair. Crossdresser? S&Mer? Neither would surprise me. (Possibly some third-hand evidence regarding the latter, BTW.)
But seeing him in person, he just doesn’t look or seem like that cold and calculating guy that would go along with studio pressure to have one beard after another. (I’ve come across him four times: 2 Pediatric AIDS benefits, “Eyes Wide Shut” Premiere and, as mentioned earlier, his 40th birthday party.)
I heard one bit from a semi-reputable source (6 out of a possible 10) that Cruise isn’t gay but checks out guys at gay bars. WTF? He looked gay to me when he was with Nicole in Eyes Wide Shut, but he looked like he was very into Rebecca DeMornay in “Risky Business,” (and I gather there was something going on between them between takes). But this is the voice of everyman talking now, not based on what I’ve seen or heard.
Personally, I am in to S&M, Female Domination, I am a total freak in that aspect, completely tortured by the dark & light of me, so there, Tom. And I’m addicted to on-line pornography to boot. And I once did a cult weekend at the Landmark Forum (Scientology’s distant cousin, IMHO). Tom, do whatever you do, just keep making good movies that have a stamp of quality on them and you will continue have my respect.
Moving on…
I think I waited on Alec Baldwin once, nothing special to report. No Sheen brothers. The only interesting third-hand bit of gossip of Charlie is that he used to frequent the same Oriental massage parlor in Inglewood, CA as some teammates on my softball team. Oliver Stone also went there. When Stone went, he would have the whole place cleared out (in terms of customers, not masseuses) whereas Charlie would sit in the lobby and hang out, read a magazine, not really care who spotted him.
Do any of them drink cider (the alcoholic kind)?
No, I’ve never encountered a cider request. But often there are a limited amount of alcoholic choices at catered events and cider is very seldom among them.
Have you waited on John Cusack ? I’ve heard conflicting reports. One, that he is a really nice guy who takes care of people who treat him well. The other, that he’s a big, egotistical jerk.
I’ve heard from two actors I’ve known over the years that he tried to pick them up. One was male and the other was female. I’ve no idea which if either (or perhaps if both) were tellign the truth.
What do you do about under-age celebrities? Such as Lindsey Lohan? I would assume there isn’t a lot of carding going on at a private party.
When you pitched the script at Adam Sandler, was that in protocol (for lack of a better word)? Is there a lot of that? Could one be fired for doing that?
Every see a celeb tell some to kiss off for hounding them or coming on too strong/gushing?
I read that at the recent Sundance Film Festival, Rick Saloman (the Paris Hilton video guy), was there with his ex-wife Shannon Doherty. There was a promoter who was giving away digital cameras to celebrities and Saloman was hanging around and hinting he wanted one. But the promoter had decided that Saloman wasn’t a real celebrity and wasn’t going to give hi one. Finally, Doherty had to go over and ask for one (which she got) and pass it on to Saloman.
Given his history with video cameras, Shannon Doherty must be either very trusting, very open minded, or very stupid.
