Feb. 29, 2000 | Gina Gershon might well be the queen of the fib-'n'-'fess routine. The actress, who has proclaimed herself a passionate devotee of vampires and shoplifting over the years, demonstrates her remarkable ability to keep 'em guessing during a recent interview with the London Telegraph's Amanda Mitchison. For instance, she tells Mitchison, she likes to shoot guns. "I am actually really good at it. I really enjoy it, and it scares the shit out of me how easy it is to shoot a target. I was working with this sniper rifle the other day ..." Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! What's more, she shares, she collects "pure black male cats" who "show up at my window every now and then" and "adopt" her. And she adds, "I am totally into poison rings. I collect poison rings." Oh, and don't forget the whip thing. "I was into whips for a while," she says. "What can I tell you? I really like cracking whips." Then, like a whip, Gershon herself cracks, leaving Mitchison -- and the paper's readers -- completely baffled. "I have to say that sometimes I like to lie," she says. "I just get bored." Can you say "pathological"? - - - - - - - - - - - - Lies, lies and more lies ... "I just figured I'd been bullshitting my way through life and lying and I believed it, and that's pretty much what ... acting was about." -- Mark Wahlberg on the intersection of lying and acting in the London Observer. - - - - - - - - - - - - This is for all the fat girls, too You know the naughtiness in Hollywood has gone too far when even Camryn "Snow White" Manheim is copping to a little puckishness. But at least Manheim's sly behavior is for a good cause. The well-rounded "Practice" star tells the upcoming issue of USA Weekend that she's plotting a film of her own, a criminal-justice drama that she hopes to start shooting in spring 2001, because she needs to "prove that I can be a leading lady." "I'm always thinking ahead," she tells the magazine. "I'm mischievous that way." - - - - - - - - - - - - The game of life Then again, there's such a thing as being too honest ... "Sometimes I get panicky," Tobey Maguire says of coping with fame in the March issue of Harper's Bazaar. "I ask myself what life is, you know? Is it the pursuit of material success? Is it a spiritual journey? But hey, the kid's only 24. Give him a few years on his spiritual journey and he'll be lying to the press like a champ. - - - - - - - - - - - - Death be not proud "I thought it was a joke when I read the script. I was upset. I was planning to leave, but not like that!" -- David Hasselhoff on his character's death by explosion on the season finale of "Baywatch Hawaii" in TV Guide. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits How do you say "Eh-oh" in Russian? Russian kiddies will soon find out; the BBC is exporting the Teletubbies to a Russian state broadcaster that reaches toddlers from the Caspian Sea to Siberia. Siberia ... now that sounds like a great place for Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po. Talk about paths of glory. Last week, a California high school voted to rename itself Kirk Douglas High School in honor of the actor, whose foundation funneled $25,000 its way. Oh well, it's better than a lap-dance from Jenny McCarthy ... Guess Tommy Lee's not the only one prone to vicious attacks in the Anderson-Lee household. According to the Associated Press, Tommy and Pamela Anderson Lee are heading into a Los Angeles court to face charges that their pet Rottweiler bit a female visitor to their Malibu home. The woman, Doreen Cott, alleges that "this dog had a vicious nature, disposition and propensity." Now where could the pooch have picked that up?
