"You can write a book or a play or do almost anything, but you cannot make a movie if you don't appreciate women," Jack Nicholson says in December's Cosmopolitan.
Gerard Depardieu, married 23 years, says that on a movie set with a beautiful woman he may enjoy "a little seductive teasing" but goes no further. "Conquest is not heroic," he said. "What's heroic is to make love last."
For better or worse, for richer or poorer, for Democrat or Republican, James Carville and Mary Matalin exchanged wedding vows in New Orleans on Thanksgiving night.
The politically attracted opposites - he's the wily Cajun behind Clinton's election victory, she was a chief strategist for the Bush re-election campaign - were joined at a private civil ceremony. Guests included television personality Rush Limbaugh, television commentator Judy Woodruff, actor Timothy Hutton and comedian-actress Crystal Bernard.
Barney the dinosaur, preschoolers' favorite purple pal, has been declared a "New Age Demon" by a right-wing radio evangelist.
"Straight out of the New Age and the world of demons and devils," the Rev. Joseph Chambers says of the kiddie hero. The cult of Barney, Chambers says, is further proof that "America is under siege from the powers of darkness."
"Barney is very much politically correct and liberal in its agenda. He leads kids into a world of miracles and fantasy. It's a New Age philosophy which is the antithesis to the Scripture."
Chambers further complains: "Barney is teaching kids that we must accept everyone as they are - whether they're homosexuals or lesbians."
The response from Barney's camp: "That's pretty heavy talk for a purple dinosaur."
Rock band Guns N' Roses has given a new twist to the saying that rock 'n' roll is the devil's music.
The group, fronted by bad, boy Axl Rose, reportedly has included an uncredited thirteenth song on its new album "The Spaghetti Incident?" that was written by murderer Charles Manson. The song, a jaunty ditty called "Look at Your Game," isn't listed on the LP. And a Geffen record label flack said he has been forbidden by the band to talk about it.
Joey Buttafuoco, minus some swagger and his snakeskin boots, has taken one last lick from the courts.
Buttafuoco pleaded guilty Wednesday to one of six counts of harassment for threatening a half-dozen teenagers who repeatedly drove past his house last June.
He was sentenced to 15 days in jail. The term starts once he's done serving six months for sleeping with Amy Fisher.
