The Trends Of Celebrity Couplings Are Sly Affairs

Compiled By Staff Writer Dan Web

Here’s the latest rundown on celebrity families (and would-be families):

Sylvester Stallone is, according to a friend, inebriated with model-turned-actress Angie Everhart. He’s “pursued her completely” and “they’re in love,” the report goes.

Baseball coach Tony La Russa is being sued by his daughters from previous marriage. They claim to be humiliated because he’s refused to pursue a relationship with them. Since they can’t get dad’s love, they want $16 million.

Actress Loretta Young, 82, and her adopted daughter have mended emotional fences. Judy Lewis had claimed in her book “Uncommon Knowledge” that she was the result of a love affair between Young and actor Clark Gable. After not speaking for months, Young now says, “I have made my peace with my daughter.”

Rocker of the ‘80s era Adam Ant on life (in Rolling Stone magazine): “Oscar Wilde said, ‘Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes’ - so I figure I’m pretty experienced now.”

For her, Liz Taylor will always be the other woman

Debbie Reynolds turns 63 today.

As for Gifford, she won an Oscar for what movie again?

According to EDK Forecast, a newsletter that studies the attitudes of women consumers, a recent poll indicated that the No. 1 female role model was - ta dah! - Kathie Lee Gifford. Following in order were Jodie Foster and Princess Diana. As for the males, the top two were, respectively, Paul Newman and Tom Hanks.

One question: Why should anyone even begin to care?

According to the Keanu Reeves camp, rumors of his being homosexual have “been an ongoing problem.” The latest twist? “The rumor was printed in a French magazine that Keanu had married David Geffen and the story has taken on a life of its own,” a publicist says. “It’s not true. Keanu has never met David Geffen and Keanu is not gay.”

And just between you and us and you, we’re glad, too

Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless, stars of the late “Cagney & Lacey,” have their own stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “There are so many memories in the last 12 years that are because of you and me and you,” Gless told Daly. “I can never thank you enough. I am honored to be walked all over on the Hollywood Walk of Fame with you.”

They’re planning to star in a doctor movie soon

As for Jon Lovitz grabbing the breast of Jamie Lee Curtis at the American Comedy Awards, both admit that it was her idea. “We not only rehearsed this, but I asked her to show me exactly how she would like me to touch her breast,” Lovitz wrote to Newsweek magazine. “What was not rehearsed was when she grabbed my groin.”

There are some pols who wish she’d follow the impulse
