We Always Pictured Her As The Pop-Tart Type
Under the apparent theory that it takes one to know one, InStyle magazine asked a few femmes fatales what they find sexy.
Supermodel Cindy Crawford said a back rub was the sexiest gift of all, and actress Jennifer Aniston (Rachel on “Friends”) answered: “A candlelit massage from a boyfriend.”
One of Catherine Deneuve’s suitors said it with flowers: “It was just before New Year’s Eve in Paris. Five men showed up at my door carrying boxes full of orchids and proceeded to create the most incredible arrangement around my fireplace, and all the way up to the ceiling … it was really mad, really wild, you know?”
In the aphrodisiac department, both Crawford and Heather Locklear listed champagne and caviar as romantic foods, a far cry from Drew Barrymore’s faves: macaroni and cheese and Jell-O.
Loose talk
Patrick Swayze, who plays a drag queen in “To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar,” on his altered appearance: “Some people think I look like Miss Kitty on ‘Gunsmoke.”’
She’d just as soon have a Three Musketeers
Raquel Welch turns 53 today.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T, doesn’t buy a thing for me
Actress Christine Lahti (“Chicago Hope”) remembers being told early on that she’d have to sleep with directors to make it. “It never occurred to me that I wouldn’t be taken seriously for my talent,” she said. “Since then, my whole determination, my whole career has been to gain respect. It was never about fame. Never. I wanted to be respected as an actor, and now that I am, I could use a little fame and fortune.”
Attention, angry moms: call ABC, not us
“Home Improvement” co-star Pamela Richardson has dropped 40 pounds since the show started, down to 130, but she says in Family Circle magazine that no one told her to: “The producers thought I looked like most moms in America and didn’t care whether I lost weight or not.”
Oh, no, thank you, we were just looking
Richardson’s on-screen husband, Tim Allen, tells Cosmopolitan that having a hit keeps him on Hollywood’s A-list for parties: “Sure, (real-life wife) Laura grooves on some of the younger dudes, and I check out the hot starlets, but basically we don’t take any of it seriously.”
And possums will follow you for miles
Elizabeth Taylor’s Black Pearls perfume may have bit it, but Connie Stevens is busy hawking her new fragrance, Kali, on the Home Shopping Network. Stevens describes the scent as “like a Southern night breeze. It makes men nuzzle your neck and women ask what you have on.”
She’s in no position to trash anyone
Comedian Brett Butler, on listening to late-night callers to the shopping channel (in Ladies Home Journal): “That’s how I come up with characters. These people who call Home Shopping Network need help, they need sex, they need art, they need roller skates, they need anything but the sparkly thing they’re buying. But I understand them!”
