The most interesting, though, were Kathy Bates and Emilio Estevez. When asked their status, Estevez quipped, “Oh, yes, we’re sleeping together.” Sniffed Bates, “We’re making a movie together.”

There’s been just three issues of John Kennedy’s much-publicized publishing effort, George magazine, and the advertising pages already have dwindled from 175 to 100.
