Plus: Actress Patsy Kensit took who to bed? - - - - - - - - - - - - By Amy Reiter Look, I'm as skeptical about psychic phenomena as the next snarky columnist, but even I have to admit that there are things -- Jesse Helms' political success, for instance, or Daryl Hannah's appeal -- that can't be explained with mere logic. So when I heard that Elizabeth Joyce, the clairvoyant who, back in the summer of '97, predicted that "a dark-haired girl named Veronica will upset the White House January 20, an angry blond will bring forth the truth, it will be later verified and Clinton will be impeached in the fall months of '98" was foreseeing a fresh batch of Clinton scandals in Y2K, I couldn't help but give her a ring. (My aura made me do it.) While leafing through a supermarket tabloid, Joyce told me, she suddenly perceived that it'd be splitsville for Bill and Hillary this year, and that the president would begin dating "young women -- not that he has stopped." But not just any women: Mariah Carey or Cher were the babes who sprung into Joyce's consciousness. "I think he's going to go after people in the music business, and I felt those two names," she said. "I have no idea why." And if the president wants to widen his net to include big-name stars of the small screen, Jennifer Aniston might soon be available. Joyce predicts that Brad Pitt will be ditching out on his special Friend any day now. So much for "I'll be there for you." - - - - - - - - - - - - Naked he came ... but not on film "I think that nudity is undignified. I think nude men look ridiculous. I really do. I didn't spend 20 years learning how to do something in order to have people staring at my bottom." -- Actor Michael Caine on his reluctance to do nude scenes, in "Michael Caine," a new biography by Michael Freedland. - - - - - - - - - - - - Beckham's butt floss Seems like every day the British tabloids are reporting that soccer star David Beckham has lavished his wifelet, Victoria (aka Posh Spice), with yet another extravagant gift. But now, finally, we've discovered what he gets out of the deal: The privilege of wearing Posh's undies. "He likes to borrow my knickers," the little lady confessed the other day on a British television show. Pressed by her interviewer, Johnny Vaughan, she reluctantly admitted that her hubby's predilection was for neither bikinis nor briefs but ... "thongs." Talk about offsides. - - - - - - - - - - - - At least she didn't try on his jeans "She said she had cooked a frozen pizza, drank a root beer soda, she was doing her laundry and she had made a long-distance call to her mother in New Jersey." -- Officer Jeffrey Hunt on Cristin Keleher, a stalker who allegedly broke into George Harrison's Hawaiian home the week before the ex-Beatle was attacked by another deranged fan in England. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Next time you and your squeeze have a little tiff -- you might try hugging your dead mother's ashes. It works for actress Patsy Kensit, who keeps the remains of her mom in an urn by her bed. When she and her husband, Oasis front man Liam Gallagher, "have a big row," she tells GQ magazine, "I get into bed and cuddle it. He says I'm like something out of 'The Munsters.'" True. So true. Woody Harrelson's Los Angeles oxygen bar, O2, is closing down after just 18 months in business. You mean, people weren't clamoring to plunk down $10 for a hit of oxygen-rich air? Why, even Elizabeth Joyce couldn't have predicted that! salon.com | Jan. 6, 2000
