• Forget Dick Cheney’s constant complaints about leaks. Yesterday New Line Cinema, citing everything but national security, pleaded with us not to publish details of the glitzy cameo appearances in “Austin Powers in Goldmember,” the studio’s summer blockbuster starring Mike Myers, which opens July 26. According to a source closely involved with the production, the opening sequence is an elaborate movie-within-a-movie featuring Tom Cruise as Austin Powers and Gwyneth Paltrow as the “busty babe” who keeps his mojo going. Danny DeVito plays Mini-Me and Kevin Spacey emotes as Dr. Evil.Director Steven Spielberg yells “cut,” and the real story begins. We hear other cameos include Ozzy Osbourne and his family, John Travolta and Nathan Lane.

“AUSTIN POWERS VISITS CHEZ OSBOURNE,
CAMEO FILMED IN KITCHEN
Mike Myers, the world’s greatest and funniest
private eye in his Austin Powers role, made a
visit to the Osbourne home the day before
the family departed for England to ask if they
would make a cameo in the latest installment
of the series, this one dubbed “Austin
Powers: Goldmember”. Not really sure what
the O’s did in the cameo but you can bet it
will be outrageously funny! “Austin Powers:
Goldmember”: In theaters July 26.”
