So, Like, Her Mother Is Still Keeping Tabs On Her?

The actress also confesses that she has a penchant for tarot-card readings, but draws the line at calling the Psychic Friends Network.
“I would be so embarrassed to have one of those 900 numbers appear on my phone bill because I don’t know how I would explain it to my business manager,” she says. “It would almost be like saying, ‘OK, I’m white trash.”’

Gwyneth Paltrow, on being Brad Pitt’s squeeze (in US magazine): “Women come right up to him and press their bodies against him from behind … it’s getting to be like the Beatles or something.

He must have majored in social stud-ies
Hunky Keith Hamilton Cobb, who plays Noah Keefer on “All My Children,” admits to being something of a nerd in high school - “tall, skinny and kind of strange-looking and no coordination, and horrible at everything,” as he put it in People magazine.
