Helen Dissed Harrison: Pow! Right In The Kisser
Oh, those nasty interview sessions. They can get you in such trouble.
Ask Helen Mirren. The “Prime Suspect” star caused a bit of an uproar last month when she appeared on an early-morning British radio talk-show.
The subject got around to American actor Harrison Ford, and Mirren was frank. “He finds it impossible to kiss on-screen,” she said “He’s probably not very good off-screen, either. It’s not just me. Other actresses agree.”
Here’s take two: It’s not true. Mirren has never kissed Ford.
“I absolutely lied,” she told the Dallas Morning News. “I’ve never kissed Harrison, so I don’t know. It was just such a silly thing… So I’m mortified that my foolish tongue has gotten me into such hot water.”
Loose talk
Rocker Ted Nugent on whether he feels right for modern times: “I think I’d rather be born now because now needs me. They didn’t really need me back then. They had a bunch of guys who were good shots.”
Trivia question: Where’d he leave his heart?

One thing we know - the truth is out there somewhere
According to a report in the Los Angeles Times, it’s a “done deal” that “The X-Files” will move its production from Vancouver to Los Angeles. Series star David Duchovny has lobbied for such a change so that he can be nearer his wife, “Naked Truth” sitcom star Tea Leoni.
This must have him running around in circles
Steven Spielberg is in trouble - again. Already being sued for allegedly stealing a writer’s material to make “Amistad,” he and writer Michael Crichton face trail in St. Louis on charges that they plagiarized a script in making director Jan De Bont’s film “Twister.”
Monday, Monday, so good to these groups…
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will take on a distinctly ‘70s look Monday when it inducts The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and Santana. Other new inductees include The Mamas and the Papas, rockabilly pioneer Gene Vincent and R&B artist Lloyd Price.
He’s actually the Artist who was supposed to show up
The Artist formerly know as Prince is not making any new fans in Evansville, Ind. “He ripped people off,” said bar owner Dan Harpole. The reclusive rocker was supposed to highlight a post-concert party to which 300 people paid $15 a head. Instead, he hid upstairs. “I was really disappointed in what he did to the fans here,” Harpole said. “They didn’t get what they paid for, and it made my club look bad. I apologize to anyone who paid $15 to see someone for 30 seconds.”
Then they arm-wrestled to see who would wear the pants
And so Kevin married Sam. That’d be Kevin as in Kevin Sorbo of “Hercules: The Legendary Journey” fame, and Sam as in Sorbo’s girlfriend Sam Jenkins. The ceremony was held on Monday.
