Sure, Babies Are Pretty, But Think Of The Racket
While tennis may be more of an individual sport, when it comes to kids, Andre Agassi apparently wants a whole team.
“I think men always go into the higher numbers because they’re not the ones going through the actual process and they just think of a brood,” his fiancee, Brooke Shields, tells TV Guide. “It’s their mentality - ‘Let’s have more. Let’s have a team!’ … I think three would be great.”
Shields, star of the new hit NBC sitcom “Suddenly Susan,” won’t divulge a wedding date, but insists: “We won’t be a perpetually engaged couple.”
And when the big day arrives, she adds: “Hopefully, it won’t be destroyed by the press.”
Loose talk

Maria, by the way, is the name of father Carlos Leon’s mother.
We’re more partial to ‘Smell That Person’
Among the nicknames supermodels have for each other, according to YM magazine: Stephanie Seymour, “Daddy Longlegs”; Amber Valletta, “Mother” (because she’s always telling other models to be careful); Linda Evangelista, “EVILangelista”; Tyra Banks, “Lightbulb Head” (because of her huge head) and Elle MacPherson, “Smelly Ellie.”
And then, of course, there’s Jealous Jerry
A British tabloid is reporting that former model Jerry Hall has asked hubby Mick Jagger for a divorce, after finding out about the Rolling Stones singer’s recent dalliances with actress Uma Thurman and Czech model Jana Rajich. Hall forgave Jagger for another reported fling four years ago with model Carla Bruni.
Pretty soon she’ll be doctoring her eyes again
