IT'S THE HOLLYWOOD WAY

With Monday night's Oscar fever abating and our annual look at the who's who of Hollywood (and what they were wearing or bare-ing) fading from memory, here's just one more vicarious peek into the lives of the quirky and famous.

Bill Cosby refuses to be driven around in anything but a Jaguar. Guess it doesn't jiggle.

The duties of David Letterman's assistant include cutting his daily portion of pineapple into bite-size pieces. Wonder if he was spoiled growing up!

Clint Eastwood is a devoted Evian drinker (twist-off caps only; his arthritis makes it difficult for him to operate a corkscrew). It's Saint Pauli Girl beer for Pierce Brosnan, all-natural fruit for Spike Lee and organic fruit only for Steven Seagal.

Eddie Murphy and Barbra Streisand would make a peachy pair. While on tour in London, she had the hotel furnish her room with matching peach toilet paper, sheets and towels. He won't perform unless his dressing room is stocked with peach-scented potpourri.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore's employees include a rotating security staff, a nanny, a personal assistant who has her own assistant, a trainer, a masseur, a housekeeper, a cook and several workmen on call every day.

Finally - the perfect solution to balancing career and family.
