Paparazzi Beware: Fans Love Their Terminator

Compiled By Staff Writer Dan Web

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver owe a lot to their fans. Especially Randall Sialana.

Sialana, a driver for United Parcel Service, was one of the witnesses when the couple was accosted by a couple of would-be paparazzi.

The two photogs allegedly forced a car driven by Shriver off the road. She and Schwarzenegger were driving their son to school. “Their little boy looked freaked out, and she was pregnant - those guys had no right to do what they were doing,” Sialana told the Outlook newspaper on Wednesday.

Sialana, who was named as a battery victim, tried to block a photographer from taking Shriver’s picture. “I know that women, when they’re pregnant, are real fragile. Stress like that could have a detrimental effect - and these guys didn’t care,” he said.

Loose talk

Julia Roberts on her developing sense of style (in In Style magazine): “I’m beginning to realize you can be comfortable, stylish and, dare I say, pull off a whole SEXY thing.”

She’ll celebrate by playing, what else?

Twister Helen Hunt turns 34 today.

From an ex-‘Batman’ to his real boy wonder: Pure love

Michael Keaton is a son-worshipper. “He’s bright, artistic, sensitive, more interesting than anyone I know, and more fun,” Keaton says of his 14-year-old son Sean. “If I were a woman, I’d think, ‘Oh man, this is the guy.’ And the best part is that he doesn’t even know yet now cool he is.”

Maybe they should cast baby McGregor as Yoda

Ewan McGregor, set to star as the young Obi-Wan Kenobi in the next “Star Wars” trilogy, says, “I was 6 years old when ‘Star Wars’ came out. I remember standing outside school waiting to be picked up, so excited. And my daughter’s going to be 6 when the new ‘Star Wars’ movies are out. That’s lovely in a way, you know?”

Why didn’t she just give her the WHOLE book?

Why did Rosie O’Donnell tear a page out of Meg Ryan’s high school yearbook? To give it to the actress. Only problem is the yearbook, which O’Donnell’s staff borrowed, was the only copy owned by the Bethel (Conn.) Public Library. O’Donnell sent the library $1,000. “Meg was so excited because she lost hers,” an O’Donnell spokeswoman said Thursday. “And Rosie said, ‘Sure, take it.’ How could she say no?”

One pill makes you smaller, the other makes you tall…

George Harrison’s Summer of Love experience was less than mythical. “I thought all of the hippie people were artistic people,” he said, “but when I got there it was like a bowery. It was a lot of dropouts who had so many different drugs, they didn’t know which way they were going.”

That’s all he has to say about it, by George

This just in from Leah Garchik, columnist for the San Francisco Chronicle: “JFK Jr. told the New York Daily News that his wife, Carolyn (Bessette) Kennedy, is not pregnant, but then again last year, while he was planning his wedding, he said he wasn’t engaged.”
