Plus: He may be slick and oily, but Jesse was no SEAL. And: Gwynnie sings! - - - - - - - - - - - - By Amy Reiter No. 1 on my list of actresses whose clothes I don't want to borrow: Ally Sheedy. In an "Intimate Portrait" of the erstwhile Brat Packer, which airs Monday night on Lifetime, Sheedy cops to a pesky little incontinence problem. The actress' bladder troubles hit while she was shooting "The Autumn Heart," with Tyne Daly as her mother. In one particularly emotional scene, Sheedy's character had to enter a room and find her mom dead. "We shot it three times, and every time I shot that scene ... I just peed all over myself," confesses Sheedy. "The first time, I used the blow-dryer, thinking 'Whoa, I must be really into the part or something.'" After the second take, she says, folks on the set started to wonder, "What the hell is her problem. She has no bladder control." "The third time," she giggles, "was just ridiculous." Daly, however, is very supportive of her co-star's damp acting style. The death scene, she asserts, was very intense. "If she had to pee in her pants, that's what she had to do. It's OK with me." Yeah, but was it OK with wardrobe? Depends. - - - - - - - - - - - - Speaking of leaks and mothers "George is no dummy ... maybe he was a tad of a late bloomer." -- Barbara Bush on her son George W. - - - - - - - - - - - - UnSEALed? Is Jesse Ventura a big, fat faker? A retired Navy SEAL named Bill Salisbury says the Minnesota governor has some nerve calling himself a SEAL. Sailors who served alongside Ventura, says Salisbury, report that he was only a "frogman" in the Underwater Demolition Team -- which was a whole different gig back in the '70s, when Ventura left the service. The next thing you know, they'll be telling us WWF matches are faked. - - - - - - - - - - - - Four score and hands in the air! "With the criminal mind, it's hard to know why they do things. I mean, why Abe Lincoln?" -- Maryland police officer Lt. Rafael Hylton on an alleged robber who held up 10 stores in the Washington area dressed as Honest Abe, black topcoat, tack-on gray beard, stovepipe hat and all, in the Washington Post. - - - - - - - - - - - - 9021 ... uh-oh Last week was a doozy for Jason Priestley. First he announced that he and his wife of less than 10 months, makeup artist Ashley Peterson, are separating. Then early Friday morning, while tooling around Hollywood, he totaled his 1999 Porsche by driving it into "several fixed objects and a parked car." The actor sent his buddy to the hospital with a broken arm and got tossed in the slammer on suspicion of drunken driving before being released on $50,000 bond. "I think they do that to everybody," Priestley told the press after his release, "especially if you're a celebrity in town." So rough to be rich, famous and living in paradise. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Mama, I want to sing ... Gwyneth Paltrow has just recorded a cover of the Temptations' "Just My Imagination" with Babyface (aka Kenneth Edmonds) on the soundtrack album for her upcoming flick "Duets" (directed by proud papa Bruce Paltrow). "She has a great voice!" the actress' good buddy Guy Oseary, the head of Madonna's Maverick Records, exclaimed last Thursday in the New York Daily News. First, Matt Damon. Now Gwyneth? Can Ben Affleck's yodeling debut be far behind? Sad news: "Match Game 2000," hosted by Gene Rayburn, will never happen. The '70s game show host who made Brett Somers, Charles Nelson Reilly and Nipsey Russell household names died last Monday at 81. "He was the Frank Sinatra of game show hosts," his former agent Fred Wostbrock told the Associated Press on Friday. Now we'll never know the definitive end of the sentence "Dumb Dora is so dumb ..." He'll be missed. salon.com | Dec. 6, 1999
