If you’re going to have sex with Marshall, make sure you bring a little blue pill – otherwise, it won’t work!” If that’s untrue, no guy wants it out there, and if it’s true, he especially doesn’t want it out there. Kim really knows how to hit a guy where it will hurt!
THE MOUTH THAT ROARED: Megan Fox, the Transformers star, knows she’s famous for being outrageous and outspoken. She says even when she’s not being that way, she’s going to be sold that way.

THE CHALLENGER: Russell Crowe takes no prisoners. After a newspaper in Australia made fun of his fitness regime, gossip columnist Annette Sharp found herself being challenged by Crowe to a duel by bicycle. Three spies told Sharpe they’d seen the Gladiator star scarfing down three tacos and smoking a cigarette. She told the world that that was the Oscar winner’s idea of physical training and poked fun at him. Crowe told a friend of his to dare her to get on her bike, “Russell wants to go riding with you.” Sharp didn’t beat Crowe in their ‘bike-off’ but did wring a grudging, “You’re twice the man Baz is” admission from him.

IT’S NOT FUN: December Boys star Daniel Radcliffe has learned to hate the party circuit. The nineteen-year old who’s appeared nude on both the London and Broadway stages says there’s a huge difference between the “A”-list party experience in London and its equivalent in the States. In London “A” list events are usually attended only by “A” listers but over here, “There are people who don’t want to work, have no interests, no passions...nothing—yet seem to be put up on pedestals. They shouldn’t be trying to push themselves off onto us. I hate the celebrity culture, and can’t break out of it. I don’t get involved with drinking or partying any more.”

The twenty-three year old finds that he is particularly challenged following a hard day’s shooting when his crew sit down and unwind with a beer. He’d like to be a buddy and share that down time with them, but, “...I know what it would end up like.

IT’S INSANE: Keanu Reeves is set to take a test he feels he just can’t fail. The hunk is being sued by a Canadian woman who claims he’s the father of her four grown children and she wants buckets of cash in retroactive payments. The star absolutely denies even ever having met the litigious mother, much less having fathered her brood. So he’s volunteered to take a DNA test to prove his innocence once and for all. Not surprisingly, he’s asking the court to dismiss the suit out of hand and if his test proves him right, it’ll pretty much have no other option but to grant his request.
FOR REAL THIS TIME: Thirty-five year old former Mighty Morphin Power Rangers star Jason David Frank is going to blur the lines between his film persona and real life.

GETTING IT RIGHT: Holly Madison, Hefner’s old girlfriend, understands what made her noticed. After living with Hef, she says she had issues with confidence, “Living with Hef brought down my self-esteem a lot. I was comparing myself to the other girls—you have to look a certain way at the mansion. If you look at his girlfriend now, she basicly looks like a clone of me. It’s kind of weird.” This surgically enhanced beauty admits, “Plastic surgery made it easier for me to get things I wanted in my career. Without it, I wouldn’t be where I am today.

WRONG MOVE: Movie director Kevin Smith’s hopes of wooing Alanis Morissette went up in flames when the pair were approached during a late night stroll on the streets of L.A. by a would-be robber.

He’s given an insight into that behavior in a recent book, “I didn’t push Alanis into the dude and run away, I separated myself from her...I thought, ‘She’s a tough broad. I’m running and hoping she’s smart enough to run too. Any chance I might have had with her went out the window that day.”
SCOTT HOWARD’S BACK?: Everything Michael J. Fox touches turns to entertainment gold. The TV icon appeared in a 1980s movie, Teen Wolf, about a teenage werewolf. Now, his old movie is being revamped to become a TV sitcom by MTV. They’ll capitalize on Fox’s formula of the likable youngster who isn’t one of the insiders but orbits at the outer circles of popular cliques. It’s not for sure whether or not Fox will be actively involved, but it would be a shame if he weren’t.

When Ali went to check out his roots he found the entire population of Ennis had turned out to welcome their “American Cousin” with wild applause and affection. They even bestowed on him the title of Honorary Freeman of Ennis at a huge outside ceremony replete with giant screen TVs and a laundry list of public speakers.
BREAKING THE ICE: There’s gossip that Jennifer Aniston and Gerald Butler may be an item. The Bounty co-stars had met years ago but not seen each other in years. However, Gerald remembered that Jennifer once told him she collected chicken ceramics for her kitchen so on the first day of shooting he brought her a ceramic rooster and gave it to her on the set. Right away she knew he was a thoughtful guy and it helped break the ice. Jennifer only dates actors and he’s right up there on the “A” list. So the Scottish actor has a good chance.
