Say, Didn’t We See Her In A Milk Mustache Ad?

And now, the latest news from the supermodel front, er, beat, courtesy of Cosmopolitan magazine:

During a chi-chi dinner at a crowded Manhattan restaurant, a fashion writer asked to try on the frock Naomi Campbell was wearing. So Campbell, in full view of everyone, took it off and handed it to her.

An anonymous fashion columnist, on Claudia Schiffer’s poise problems early in her career: “In the beginning, she could not put one foot in front of the other. You just sat there thinking, ‘Get a drag queen in here to show this woman how to walk!”’

And when Schiffer recently refused to model swimwear during a photo shoot, saying that she wasn’t required to by her contract, Campbell called her a “German cow.”

Loose talk

Steve Altes, Brad Pitt’s screen-stand in, on his job: “I have been his hand photo-double, doing things like cocking guns, slamming car trunks, zipping duffel bags and grabbing sandwiches. I am not his butt-double or his ab-double. He doesn’t need one.”

Wasn’t she a member of the mink dynasty?

That’s his stand, and he’s not about to budget

Elizabeth Taylor’s estranged seventh husband, Larry Fortensky, has filed papers in their divorce case seeking higher support payments, saying the $5,000 he receives from her every month (out of her estimated $5 million annual income) covers only his “bare expenses.”

It’s sort of the reverse of O.J.’s situation

Soon-to-be-divorced Princess Diana is denying a report in Star magazine that she plans to pay $7.5 million for the New York apartment once owned by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The tabloid quoted an unidentified friend of Diana’s as saying she “feels she is not properly appreciated in Britain” and wants to spend more time in America.

His whole story just keeps getting foggier

And speaking of O.J. Simpson, six prominent Bay Area private eyes have volunteered to donate their services to investigate Simpson’s claims that the real murderers of his ex-wife are still on the loose somewhere in San Francisco.

We thought O.J. always plays him as he lies

Former Simpson sidekick Brian “Kato” Kaelin is suing HarperCollins, claiming the publisher’s advertising implies he authorized the new book “Kato Kaelin: The Whole Truth,” which contends he withheld evidence and lied on the witness stand. Kato’s own book deal with HarperCollins previously fell through.

So that’s who’s been writing the girl’s material

Remember that item last week about a Hungarian magazine interview in which Madonna “sounds as if she’s uttering dialogue Steve Martin might write”? Well, we were close. The whole thing was actually a wicked parody by “Doonesbury” creator Garry Trudeau.
