Just Make Sure You’re Spelling Her Name Right

Compiled By Staff Writer Dan Web

Someone has it in for Tori Spelling.

First, a recent Movieline photo spread showed her dressed in a near-bottomless blouse that showed so much it almost cleared up any remaining mystery over whether she’s had breast-augmentation surgery.

Now comes word from TV Guide that 43.3 percent of the respondents of a recent poll believe that Spelling has the worst hair on television - worse, believe it or not, than even cartoon character Marge Simpson.

Best hair? That went to Julia Louis-Dreyfuss of “Seinfeld.”

George Clooney of “E.R.” and Teri Hatcher of “Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman” were named most sexy. Clooney beat out Jimmy Smits of “NYPD Blue,” and Hatcher finished ahead of Heather Locklear (“Melrose Place”).

Loose talk

Wesley Snipes on fame and the fans that come with it (on television’s “Extra”): “Women come out of the woodwork - ones you liked before and hated your guts, and now you do a film, and they’re like, ‘I always did love you.’ You know, it can play a real trick on your mind.”

All over Central America, sweatshop workers are cheering

Kathie Lee Gifford is 43 and Frank Gifford is 66 today.

And Tori Spelling thinks that she has it bad

“There was a piece in Newsweek awhile back and they used a picture of Denzel Washington as an example of what people find attractive,” Lyle Lovett told People magazine, “and they used my picture as an example of what people find unattractive. I thought, ‘My God, this is like having your picture next to the definition of ugly in the dictionary!”’

The Picasso portrait exhibit at New York’s Museum of Modern Art has attracted a number of celebrities, reports USA Today. Among them: Julia Roberts, Faye Dunaway, Mick Jagger, Gianni Versace, Liam Neeson, Woody Allen and Jodie Foster. Actually, anyone can tour with a celebrity as the audiotape tour is narrated by Steve Martin.

He’s now on the road, opening for George Jones

In honor of the Republican National Convention, Labor Party member Larry Abrams wrote a country-like song, titled “Ain’t No Republican.” It goes something like this: “Well, I might call in sick to work/ And then go out and play/ I might roll the dice and lose all night/ And cheat at cards all day./ I might curse the darkness/ and then damn the rising sun/ But at least I ain’t a Republican.”

Kind of like Ted Kennedy preaching family values

“O.J. says that he believes there are no morals now in Hollywood,” “Late Night” host Dave Letterman said the other night. “To me, hearing O.J. Simpson talking about a society without morals is a little like the Menendez brothers saying that Father’s Day is overcommercialized.”

And make sure to buy his likeness at Celebs ‘R’ Us

Another character from the O.J. Simpson trial is cashing in on his celebrity. Co-prosecutor Christopher Darden will make an appearance as a preacher on the CBS series “Touched by an Angel.”
