Suppose That She’ll Be A Bride Before She Croaks?
Shades of Lisa Marie and Michael. Oprah Winfrey went to The Washington Post to insist that she and perpetual fiancee Stedman Graham are in fact physically intimate.
Responding to celebrity biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli’s claim that the couple have a platonic relationship, the talk queen said: “It’s more fun than that.”
Winfrey also denied an allegation that she refused to marry Graham because he waited until after she shed some pounds to propose.
So when are they getting married? “I have the right to not get married,” Winfrey said. “This is America. And if I wanted to get married, I would. Period. Exclamation point.
“I’m sorry I ever was such a big-mouth frog about the engagement. That is my biggest public regret.”
Loose talk
Ted Danson, on life with wife Mary Steenburgen (in People magazine): “It’s a great dance. Mary’s masculine side and my feminine side get along fantastically and vice versa. We both like wearing pants, and we both get a thrill out of a garter belt once in a while.”

Any marriage is tough, but we were pretty much bi-coastal, and we didn’t get a chance to spend a lot of time together.”
Guess she must be working on her ninth life
Untying the knot may not seem like a big deal to Elizabeth Taylor, who’s just filed for divorce to end her eighth marriage, but she says it doesn’t get any easier. “You don’t get over men like the flu,” Taylor told People magazine. “Every divorce is like a little death.”
Their spouses sure didn’t stop them too much
Danny Aiello says he had no idea his “Two Much” co-stars Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith were becoming romantically involved: “I’m an idiot. I met Banderas’ wife. She was there. I met (former Griffith hubby) Don Johnson. Don was there. So the last thing in the world I would think is that there’s something going on.”
Very eloquently spoken, Mr. Smuts - er, Smits
“NYPD Blue” star Jimmy Smits says it’s important for the show to keep its nudity and salty language, whatever its critics think. “I want to keep finding ways to explore that, the language and adult situations, the romantic things,” Smits told TV Guide. “I want to keep the show the way it was intended to be: edgy, gritty and very realistic.”
We’ll bet the Bronco would go even faster
