She’s Cutting People Up All Over, Like A Surgeon
Express yourself? Madonna does it rather bluntly in the new issue of Vogue magazine.
She calls Norman Mailer a “dirty old man.” She questions the acting abilities of Demi Moore and Sandra Bullock, and calls Dennis Rodman a “borderline psychotic personality” whom she “couldn’t get away from … fast enough.”
She writes off ex-husband Sean Penn’s recent marriage to Robin Wright, the mother of his two children, as a “knee-jerk response” to her own announcement that she was pregnant.
But she refuses to talk about Carlos Leon, the father of her female fetus, saying only: “I’m not someone who needs my boyfriend around all the time. I’m not Melanie Griffith.” (Griffith’s hubby, Antonio Banderas, co-stars with Madonna in the film version of “Evita.”)
Loose talk
Elizabeth Hurley, age 31, on her elders (in InStyle magazine): “I think Ursula Andress and Catherine Deneuve have grown older very gracefully … I respect older people.”
Same Bat-day, but a new Bat-number
Adam West turns 68 today.
So what did she think, Justice was blind?
Baseball star David Justice is demanding that his estranged wife, actress Halle Berry, confess to any affairs she may have had during their three-year marriage as part of their divorce proceedings. Justice also wants Berry to name the male stripper she was photographed body-grinding with last year, and reveal her pre-wedding relationships with Wesley Snipes, Eddie Murphy and Spike Lee.
Nice to see her interested in men again
Lisa Marie Presley, whose divorce from Michael Jackson was final last month, is said to be considering getting back together with her first husband, musician Danny Keough. They still have two children and Scientology in common.
Either that, or they’ll hire an organist
Christie Brinkley will tie the knot for the fourth time, with model-turned-architect Peter Cook, in a small ceremony this weekend at her Long Island home, the New York Post reports. Word has it husband No. 2, Billy Joel, may be in attendance.
It was definitely a persona non great-a
Brooke Shields, whose NBC sitcom “Suddenly Susan” debuts tonight, said her hardest split was firing her mother, Teri, as her manager. “Something didn’t feel right,” Shields says in Rolling Stone. “I had hopes and dreams, and I wasn’t doing anything to go toward them … The focus was on creating a persona rather than a talent.”
He’s used to those roles with the punches
Shields isn’t the only “Suddenly Susan” star making a comeback. Former Brat Pack-er Judd Nelson plays her boss (and her ex-fiance’s brother) at a hip San Francisco magazine. “I like to think of it as rounds in a boxing match,” Nelson says of his career in Entertainment Weekly. “You can be knocked down, but it doesn’t mean you’re out.”
