Dec. 11, 1999 |
- - - - - - - - - - - - Monday: "Call me undependable " 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 aired 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. Read the entire Nothing Personal Column for Monday, Nov. 6. - - - - - - - - - - - - Tuesday: "Does Carrey need to exorcise? " Jim Carrey recently claimed he was so immersed in Andy Kaufman's persona while filming the late comic's biopic, "Man on the Moon," that he lost himself completely. Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! After the film wrapped, Carrey said, "I spent three weeks thinking, 'What do I like again? What do I believe? How do I feel about that?'" When travelers hear an actor talk like this, they are advised to grab their cameras and run. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Carrey and Kaufman's best buddy, Bob Zmuda, suddenly slipped into the roles of Kaufman and his creepy alter ego, lounge lizard "Tony Clifton," and terrorized an unsuspecting group of journalists during an L.A. press junket on Saturday. During the "tussle," the two Tinseltownians defaced the walls of the Four Seasons Hotel with graffiti, flung iced tea and smashed reporters' equipment. At one point, "Clifton" even proffered a prosthetic penis.

The latest target of the Rupe's choice invectives? The Queen of England, whom he dubs a "stubborn cow," and her hubby, Prince Philip, a "little upstart" and a "thoroughly unpleasant man." "You have to look at the pictures of Prince Charles when he was 5, meeting the Queen when she came back from a tour -- he was only allowed to shake hands with her. His are totally dysfunctional parents," the British actor says in the January issue of Playboy. "They're extremely arrogant and determined not to move into the 20th century." And speaking of English throwbacks, Kate Winslet claims that while she and her husband, Jim Threapleton, are "totally equal" in many aspects of their relationship, she's perfectly content to give him the upper hand in public. "When we go out, he wears the trousers," Winslet says in an upcoming USA Weekend interview. "I love that. I love being the wife on his arm."

Journalists everywhere are dusting off their superlatives: "Best film of 1999!" "Worst book of the century!" "Most impressive bratwurst of the millennium!" Says who? Says a bunch of folks who see films, read books or taste bratwurst for a living. These "professionals" test stuff all day, every day. You gonna trust them? Didn't think so. So before Nothing Personal starts tossing off hots and nots, we turn to you, our expert readers, to help scan the pack of pesky publicity seekers we call celebrities and hand out the honors accordingly. Here's how we'll do it: I'll pose a series of questions. You'll think about them long and hard, or not at all, and answer as many as you like by e-mailing me. Then, I'll pore over your responses, pluck the ones I find most interesting from the pile, print them in a column later this month and -- voilą -- the Nothing Personal Readers' Choice Awards are born.
