So, He Expects Them To Divine The Truth?

Hugh Grant says he just can’t go home again since becoming a big star.

“I do miss Britain terribly and it’s very sad we can’t go back,” Grant, who lives in Hollywood with Elizabeth Hurley, told London’s Sunday Express. “I spent three days there last year and that was all I could take. It was a nightmare.

“I used to love being able to walk down the King’s Road and have my breakfast while I read the paper without having to hover in the corner under a baseball cap like I have to do now.”

But La-La Land isn’t much better, he said: “I find the people there take themselves so seriously and they don’t understand my self-effacing ways. I say, ‘Oh please, it’s a terrible film and I’m awful in it,’ and they take me at my word. It’s quite grotesque.”

Loose talk

Drew Barrymore, on shooting Wes Craven’s upcoming “Scream” (in Entertainment Weekly): “I had to scream a lot for 12 hours a day from 17 different angles. I mean, to keep dredging up those tears that came after … I’m not going to have PMS for five years.”

Guess she passed the cross-dresser examination

Gina Gershon (“Bound”) tells US magazine she was satisfied with “Showgirls” despite the critical pans: “When I did it, I always thought, ‘Oh, I just want the drag queens in New York to imitate me.’ Well, I was there a couple of months ago, and this beautiful black man comes running up to me, and not only did he know my lines, he knew my dance movements and the color of my character’s lipstick. Then all of a sudden I realized that this guy was RuPaul! I thought, ‘I have done my job.”’

We never realized that he had that kind of chops

Pony-tailed action hero Steven Seagal is passing the time on the movie set of “Fire Down Below” by playing the blues on his guitar. “We jam in my trailer, at my house, on the set, wherever,” he told Entertainment Weekly. “My songs are as good as any out there.”

Hey, is there a better Stallone flick than ‘Twins’?

When Danny DeVito stopped by Nashville’s Hard Rock Cafe to pick up some souvenirs for his kids, The Tennessean reports, he asked the staff: “Hey, do you know a good place to eat dinner in town?”

You’ve got to keep fighting when things get rocky

Sylvester Stallone’s baby daughter is “doing terrific” following surgery to close a hole in her heart, his spokesman said. Said Sly in a statement: “I have been blessed with two miracles within the past nine weeks - that of my daughter being born, and that of my daughter being reborn.”

What, he’s actually expecting another knockout?

Proud papa Mike Tyson, on his 8-month-old daughter (on “Inside Edition”): “Me and her mother, we joke and laugh, but we just hope that we don’t have to kill this guy. I think I’m a nut thinking that. Eight months old and I’m thinking, what guys will be snooping around? Some older guys will try to separate her from a little bit of cash.”
