Nancy Puts Best Foot Or Something Forward
Loose talk
Actor Liam Neeson, denying his reputation as a ladies’ man, describes one as “somebody who hangs out in lounge bars and says, ‘Hi, baby. Have you seen ‘Schindler’s List’?”
Her boots may be made for walkin’, but here’s just what she’ll do: Nancy’s gonna strip and show her body in plain view.
That’s Nancy, as in Nancy Sinatra, the 54-year-old daughter of Frank Sinatra and singer of such pop hits as “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.” And in celebration of her new album, she’s going to appear nude in a Playboy layout.
Now, most 50-something celebs would balk at baring themselves in a national magazine, and Sinatra is no different. But she got over it. She even forgave the model, half her age, who showed up for a similar photo session.
“I didn’t hate her. I didn’t feel jealous,” she said. “Besides, we bring different things to the pictures. She brings beautiful breasts, and I bring OK breasts and lots of personality.”
What’s her real age? Don’t speak! Don’t speak!

For some professionals, even a thank you is unnecessary
Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder loves danger. Maybe that’s why he was swimming in the surf off Auckland, N.Z., on Saturday. Whatever, he was carried 250 feet offshore and had to be rescued by members of the Karekare Surf Club. When all he offered in return was a quick, “Thank you,” lifeguard Eric Davis said, “We are volunteers operating on a shoestring budget and a donation would have helped us along.”
Forsooth, Maury, thou shouldst get thyself to a funnery
Maury Povich, whose own modicum of talent has been put on perfect display in the talk-show format, told TV Guide that, in a classical sense, criticizing his peers is pointless. “Shakespeare used all the themes tabloid TV touches,” he said. “Shakespeare might have been thought of as the Ricki Lake of his era.”
