What’s A Trashed Room Or Two Between Celebs?
Loose talk
Meg Ryan on her screen image: “Nora (Ephron) called me America’s sweetheart, and that might have been a disservice. I would never in the world describe myself that way. I can be very relentless when I’m making a point, and sort of alienate people.”
Yes, folks there are differences between those with celebrity and we who must toil by the hour for our paychecks. Actor Johnny Depp would like to point out one.
Fame, at times, is just too hard to endure with dignity. Depp, you’ll recall, was jailed recently for trashing his New York hotel room.
“I’d like to ask five people: ‘Have you ever had a bad day?”’ Depp told Esquire magazine. “Have you ever been harassed in a passive-aggressive way? What does it make you feel like? You have no room to breathe. Have you ever punched a hole in your wall at home? Hotels are my home. If it had been YOU, nothing would have happened. They would have come to your room and said, ‘What’s going on?’ You would have said, ‘I’ll pay for the damages, and I’m terribly sorry.”’

Only the beautiful people get featured in Entertainment Weekly, right? Well, tell that to 18-year-old actress Alicia Silverstone (“Hideaway”), who sings the blues about having to act when she’s not feeling a whit of self-confidence. “When I look in the mirror, sometimes it’s very sad, because I feel like this ugly, fat blimp, you know? And then I have to go be this beautiful girl.”
Would a tofuburger still be called a Chef Royale in Paris?
The latest celebs to bare all for those PETA anti-fur ads are rock singer Melissa Etheridge and live-in lover Julie Cypher. Their “We’d rather go naked than wear fur” ad will debut April 4 in The Advocate.
Would that be something like ‘Donna Reed’ with an Uzi?
In listing what viewers want, “Mommies” actor Julia Duffy told TV Guide, “They’d like us to be more like ‘Roseanne,’ more adult dealing with the battle of the sexes. They also want us to talk about being mad at the prospect of our children turning into criminals, at having sex once a month and at how clueless males can be. We have to capture that thin line between madness and ‘Donna Reed.”’
And, of course, Uma Thurman is again available
