It’s Quite The Treat Seeing Slow Bo In Slo-Mo Again

Compiled By Staff Writer Rick Bo

When Bo Derek decided to return to the movies at age 38, she thought she’d start with “something small and fun and light.”

Well, one out of three isn’t bad. Derek appears in “Tommy Boy” as the stepmother of larger-thanlife “Saturday Night Live” player Chris Farley.

“I flew from Hong Kong without reading the script and started working the next day,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

Derek spoofs her famous first film, “10,” in her very first scene, rising from a pool in slow-motion wearing a skimpy bikini.

Her biggest problem has been keeping up with Farley and “SNL” colleague David Spade. “I’m kind of slow with jokes,” she admits. “Sometimes they’re on their third when I’m just laughing at their first.”

Elton John, reminiscing about his druggie days (in Q magazine): “Sometimes when I’m flying over the Alps, I think, ‘That’s like all the cocaine I sniffed.”’

We bet he’d get a kick out of some new boxers

Steven Seagal turns 43 today.

Supermodels Naomi Campbell, Elle MacPherson and Claudia Schiffer were sent scurrying for the sidewalk Friday morning when a phony bomb scare interrupted their appearance on “Live With Regis and Kathie Lee.” A taped episode featuring Tony Bennett played for the final 15 minutes.

It doesn’t go on her hips, it goes through them

Model Kate Moss may look like a bird but she doesn’t eat like one, says Johnny Depp. “She eats like a champ,” he tells British Esquire. “She really puts it away.” As for critics who claim she’s promoting an unhealthy body image, he adds: “Why punish somebody because they have a good metabolism? Because they digest their food better?”

It just might be the greatest story ever told

Charlton Heston has chosen “In the Arena” as the title for his autobiography out of almost 100,000 suggestions submitted in a fan contest. Among the rejects: “Loved Him, Hated Hur.”

Actually, we’d like to see them trading places

Jamie Lee Curtis thinks it’s swell that father Tony Curtis appeared in Vanity Fair wearing only his briefs. “For my dad to be so brave and put himself out there like he did, it’s the greatest picture of him I’ve ever seen,” she says. “In a weird way, I’ve never been prouder to be his kid.”

It began when the guy questioned his manhood

John Wayne Bobbitt, who’s emceeing for an exotic dancer these days, has been accused of assault and battery by a nightclub patron in Massachusetts. Bobbitt claims the fellow threw a drink at him and started punching first.
