Monkey business
- - - - - - - - - - - -
Dec. 21, 1999 |
Just days after Wynonna Judd's ex-husband, Arch B. Kelley III, got slapped with 50 days in the slammer for chatting up reporters in violation of a divorce agreement, the former Mr. Jennifer Lopez spilled his guts a to U.K. tabloid. "I see her body on the screen and I think, 'That woman used to lie naked next to me in bed,'" Ojani Noa whimpers to the News of the World. Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! And just in case you're wondering just what that felt like, well, Noa's happy to elaborate: "Jennifer was totally uninhibited. We did whatever two humans could possibly do. It was animalistic." Noa, who claims that Lopez seduced him, proposed to him -- and then left him high and dry once she was good and famous, also shares that the owner of the world's most beloved booty liked to do it anytime, anyplace. "She loved taking risks," he says. Not the least of which was marrying him. - - - - - - - - - - - - The loneliest job in the world "I'd been feeling a little like the Maytag repairman." -- White House scandal spinmeister James Kennedy on the scandal slump that's got him on the move. - - - - - - - - - - - - Monkey business And speaking of animal magnetism, actor Alan Cumming has just gone public with a story that makes that old Richard Gere and the gerbil rumor sound like a PETA lover's bedtime story. At the premiere party for the upcoming film "Titus," Cumming told tipster Baird Jones that he dabbled in a little monkey business on the set of the 1997 film "Buddy," in which Rene Russo plays a woman who raises a gorilla as a son. While Russo was deathly afraid of the chimps on the set, he says, he was "so curious about what it would be like to French kiss a chimp that I convinced one of the handlers to take me and a couple of the other actors into the pen after hours and let us smooch with them." So what'd he find? "French kissing a monkey is very different than kissing a human because they have gigantic wet tongues, which are also very rough. It's like soggy sandpaper." So much for "No animals were harmed in the making of this film." - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Move over, Pamela. Cindy Margolis, reputedly the "most downloaded woman on the Internet," has snagged a talk show deal for next fall with CBS's syndication arm, Eyemark, reports Variety. The suits at CBS say "The Cindy Margolis Show" will appeal primarily to men. But of course, they'll only watch it for the articles. Have the lambs at last broken their silence? According to the Hollywood Reporter, Anthony Hopkins has approved of the latest version of "Hannibal," the sequel to the Oscar-winning "The Silence of the Lambs," and has agreed to reprise his trademark role as Hannibal "The Cannibal" Lecter. Steven Zaillian's rewrite of David Mamet's script is said to end very differently from Thomas Harris' bestselling novel. Whaddya say, Jodie? Sounding suspiciously like Garth Brooks, Linda Ronstadt is threatening to stop performing in order to spend more time with her two daughters. "I have very little interest in singing publicly anymore," Ronstadt tells Wall of Sound. "I've had an unusually long career. Most people's careers don't last as long as mine, and nobody would want them to, unless you're mentally imbalanced." Wonder what Mick Jagger would say about that.
