It’s The Sweet Ones Who Can Fool You The Easiest

Loose talk

Andy Garcia, who is married, has three daughters plus a female dog and cat, on his personal life (in GQ magazine): “Most mornings I wake up with six women in my bed.”

Spy magazine has posed the question: “Kathie Lee: Psychopath?”

The nasty rag convinced a psychiatrist to read talk-show host Kathie Lee Gifford’s memoir “Listen to My Heart: Lessons in Love, Laughter, and Lunacy,” written with her young son, Cody, and appraise her mental state.

The shrink found that “Kathie Lee is in constant conflict between keeping things orderly and in control and making a mess…”

“Both narcissistic and anal, she does not see other people as autonomous, separate beings, but rather only as they relate to her…. She feels compelled to take any kind of conflict and confrontation and put a ‘cute’ twist on it.”

Gifford is, he said, “very self-centered, very controlling, and who (has) a great deal of anger with which she is unable to cope.”

Today, he’s the king of kings of Hollywood

Tom Cruise turns 33 today.

Actually, the whole thing sounds just like a movie plot

It’s difficult to say for sure what has transpired between Hugh Grant and his girlfriend, Elizabeth Hurley, since his arrest on Wednesday for allegedly romping with a prostitute. But at least a few days ago, Hurley was still reeling. “I am still bewildered and saddened by recent events and have not been in a fit state to make any decisions about the future,” she said in a statement. “This is all very painful for me. For years I have turned to Hugh for help during difficult times and so now even though my family and friends have been very kind I am very much alone.”

Did they at least give him a T-shirt in return?

Some of us have trouble giving a couple of bucks a month to United Way. Actor Denzel Washington has shamed us all by giving $1 mil to Nelson Mandela’s Children’s Fund. That’s one-tenth of the salary he will earn for his role in the upcoming film “Courage Under Fire.”

Wanting to move on is, of course, a basic instinct

Just split: Michael Douglas, 51, and his 30-something wife of 18 years, Diandra. She filed for divorce, seeking custody of their 15-year-old son, Cameron. “There are no plans for a divorce,” said a family spokesman. Both of them are just going to get on with their careers.”

Think maybe they transported him in a white Ford Bronco?

In case you wondered, Christopher Reeve has been moved from the University of Virginia Medical Center to the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. The 42-year-old ex-“Superman” is still paralyzed from a May 27 horse-riding accident.

Hugh Grant was arrested for doing much the same thing

At one point during a public meeting with Britain’s Duchess of York, Oklahoma City bombing survivor P.J. Allen, all 22 months of him, took a small truck he was holding and ran it up the duchess’ chest.
