In Other Words, You Are What You Don’t Eat
So how’s that New Year’s diet coming along?
Thought so. But self-discipline is in among the celebrity set, according to Mirabella.
Before attending a recent party, Madonna let it be known that she would consume exactly three ounces of Caesar salad and a small bottle of Evian water.
Several celebs have abandoned dairy products. “I can smell dairy on people,” says actress Marilu Henner.
Designer Diane von Furstenberg, who has already given up meat, coffee and tea, says she’s considering stopping sugar.
Henner hasn’t had sugar since her wedding cake five years ago: “One taste of sugar, and I felt that I was on the most powerful drug there is. My teeth began to chatter. I wanted everybody to leave so I could eat their desserts. Sugar is kiddie cocaine.”
Loose talk
Lauren Hutton, on looking great at age 52 (in Top Model magazine): “All I can say is that I drink large quantities of water, I use a lot of hydrating creams, and I make love once a day with an Italian.”
At least it makes them easier to remember
Jane Wyman turns 82 and daughter Maureen Reagan 55 today.
But Mr. Rosen will be happy to offer his services
As we reported here Friday, the Rosen Law Firm of Raleigh, N.C. gave its “best celebrity divorce” award for 1995 to Olivia Newton-John and Matt Lattanzi. Only one problem: They’re not divorced. “It’s just an amicable separation, for the time being,” Newton-John’s publicist said.
That’s clearly what you would call a cold shoulder
Speaking of divorce, Prince Charles wishes he could ditch the 30 photographers and six television crews hounding him during his Swiss ski vacation. Asked how the snow was, Chas replied: “Cold and white.” And the weather? “At least we can see where we are going this year, and see where you lot are as well.”
Sure, it’s no big deal, but we like saying her name
Tiggy Legge-Bourke, the nanny to Prince William and Prince Harry who was photographed nuzzling Charles during last year’s ski trip, had her lawyer send a letter to several British newspapers Tuesday saying persistent rumors that they’re romantically involved are “totally untrue … a series of malicious lies.”
He wondered why they were putting the squeeze on
Dick Wilson, the actor who played Mr. Whipple for 25 years in those Charmin commercials, was a bit perplexed when he failed to receive December’s installment of his free lifetime supply of bathroom tissue. A Procter & Gamble spokesman said it won’t happen again.
So they thought that everybody knows their face?
A California court has thrown out a lawsuit brought by actors George Wendt and John Ratzenberger, who claimed that robotic figures in a chain of airport bars were modeled after their Norm and Cliff characters from “Cheers.” Said the judge: “I find that there is no similarity at all. … The facial features are totally different.”
