Depending on when you talked to him, funk singer Bobby Brown gave three variations on how he got into a Walt Disney World bar-fight last week.

1, Brown said Neil Kelly, 37, was staring at him.

2, Brown said Kelly spit at him.

3, Brown said he objected to Kelly flirting with a woman from his entourage.

Whatever, a “ranting and raving” Brown, 26, and two friends confronted Kelly and later were arrested and charged with aggravated assault and disorderly conduct.

But Brown didn’t go peacefully. Police say he urinated in the police car, then scratched a profanity on the car seat. After a night in jail, he was released on $5,000 bond.

Loose talk

Holly Hunter on playing serious stage roles such as “Hedda Gabler” or “Medea”: “When they don’t want me any more in front of the camera, maybe I’ll start doing those chicks.”

Say it out loud, it’s his band’s world

James Brown turns 62 today.

They can, though, still order a Royale with cheese in Paris

Fame and fortune have their price. Just ask Jodie Foster. Because “of what might happen to me, I can’t go to McDonald’s or a coffee shop,” she told Psychology Today. Also, the magazine reports that celebrities die on average at age 52, compared to 72 for mere mortals.

TV miniseries: What else in life is there?

As for Anjelica Huston, who delighted in playing Calamity Jane for the CBS miniseries “Buffalo Girls,” celebrity life is just great. Of course, what’s not to like? “You get to fall in love, you get to ride the range, you get to miss your friends, you get to kill people,” Huston said.

Anjelica, finally, finds time to forgive the jerk

Speaking of Anjelica Huston, whose split with lover-of-17-years Jack Nicholson occurred in 1989, the 43-year-old actress finally has let go of the anger. “I don’t want to be a sour old woman blaming Jack for the rest of my days,” she told USA Today. She even co-starred in a movie with Nicholson. Called “The Crossing Guard,” it was directed by Sean Penn and should be out in the fall.

Imagine, people see Marky Mark as a sex object

Mark Wahlberg may be getting more acting gigs (look for him opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in “The Basketball Diaries”), but some of us still remember him mostly for being that smirking underwear model for Calvin Klein. “People still expect me to come into a room with my pants hanging down. At first it was cool. Then it became the only thing I was known for. I was stripped of my voice. I was just a torso.”

Then again, who could possibly have wanted to know?

Donald Trump has something he wants us all to know. “I have not had, or ever even heard of, a penile transplant,” he wrote in a letter to the editor in Esquire mag.
