So claims hairdresser Art Padilla, whose California spa, Amadeus, caters more to Tinseltown than Beltway heads. Padilla says Liddy's "hard, plastic" 'do kept voters from being able to relate to her. "Her look was too stiff. That puffy, sprayed, don't-touch-me sort of look," the stylist tells me, adding that everyday folks were "looking for something softer, more natural. Something that if you put your hand on it and rubbed it might move a little." Responsive hair that feels your pain. But Padilla isn't impressed by the other candidates' styles, either. Al Gore's side part makes him look like a strict high school principal. George W. Bush's mane screams party animal more than president. And Donald Trump's toupee-like tresses make him seem "dirty and underhanded." Who does Padilla like? Non-candidate Jesse Ventura: "His bald head is so straightforward, so honest." So should Liddy take a page from the Body and shave it all off? "No," says Padilla, and then thinks it over. "Well, maybe on one side, just to be cool." - - - - - - - - - - - - It's good to be the King "I'm reinventing manhood." -- Larry King, 65, announcing that he and his 39-year-old wife, Shawn, are expecting another baby. - - - - - - - - - - - - Hot mama's hot flashes At last! An explanation for Diana Ross' breast-related fracas at Heathrow Airport: hormones. "I am in the midst of my menopause," Ross tells the London Telegraph. "I can't sleep at night. I keep getting warm flushes. When I walk into a room, I say: 'Open a window. Isn't everyone in here hot?'" She's also Miss Waterworks. "I cry a lot. I cry at the drop of a hat these days." But lest you think she's no longer the supreme diva she once was, be warned. "This is not the end of my sex life," she says. "Diana Ross is still a hot mama." But keep your sticky little hands off the ta-tas, pal ... Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! - - - - - - - - - - - - But she doesn't do windows "I love to iron. I iron my jeans. I'm obsessed with it. Like, why would you iron your jeans? But I iron them just to, like, feel the wonderfulness of ironing." -- Jennifer Love Hewitt getting the wrinkles out of her strange obsession on the TV Guide Channel. - - - - - - - - - - - - The considerate campaign Looks like John McCain's Web masters are having a good giggle at George W. Bush's expense. Or are they just trying to be helpful? Visitors to the official McCain Web site will notice a link on its home page that reads (in lovely red and blue script lettering) "Bush Campaign Staff, Click Here." A quick click takes you to a page -- "For Bush Campaign Staff" -- announcing that, from Oct. 1 to 13, the McCain 2000 Web site received more than twice as many hits from Bush campaign staffers (traced through visitors' Internet Protocol address) than from any other source. "So, to make it easier for the Bush campaign to surf our site," write the McCain folks, "we have included a top ten list of pages they might want to visit while doing their research." So thoughtful. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Your "Friends" suspicions have been confirmed: "We're all losers," Matthew Perry (aka Chandler) confesses in an upcoming issue of USA Weekend. "That's what 'Friends' was from the beginning. And then when people started talking about the haircuts, and then we got famous, and we were on the cover of everything, people forgot that. But the truth of the matter is that if you look at each one of these six people, they're still losers." Even Monica? Sure, she looks demure, but Hugh Grant says Elizabeth Hurley's got one heck of a seamy underside. "She tends to use people and boss them around. She even tends to be violent ... she throws things at me," he recently told a U.K. magazine. What's more, she's been known to urge him on while he's filming love scenes, "by saying 'Be sexier, dirtier.'" So what did he need Divine Brown for? Shhh ... Don't tell Fonzie. Roz Kelly, who played Pinky Tuscadero on "Happy Days," is on probation. Kelly's three-year prison sentence -- for firing a gun into two parked cars and then blasting away at a neighbor's home because she was ticked off about an incessant car alarm -- was suspended on Wednesday. And the Fonz thought he had a hard time saying "I'm sorry." What is it with crazed stalkers and Steffi Graf? The man suspected of hijacking an EgyptAir plane told a judge he was armed with only a pen and did it for "love for Germany and Steffi Graf," reports the Associated Press. Watch your back, Andre Agassi. There's a new star on the Hollywood Madam's walk of shame. Just weeks after release from prison, Heidi Fleiss has filed for bankruptcy, claiming more than $269,000 in debts. Might be time to grab that "black book" and consider black-mail.
