Take two of these and call me weird

April 3, 2000 | "David is on some strange medication, that's all I can say," Byrne told USA Today last week. The actor's apparently still smarting over Letterman's shabby treatment of him on a recent show. He didn't take too kindly to the talk-show host needling him about his ex-wife Ellen Barkin's relationship with Revlon honcho Ron Perelman. Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! "He was having a bit of a laugh, and he went a bit far," Bryne said. "He should definitely change the medication." Byrne's fellow guest, Martha Stewart, also noted Letterman's peculiar belligerence, the actor said. "She said, 'I'm scared and I don't want to go out there,'" Byrne recalled. "'He's weird tonight.'" Maybe David thanked those miracle-working doctors of his too soon. - - - - - - - - - - - - Does it make you horny, baby? "Perhaps she was researching a film role." -- An unnamed witness hypothesizing on just why Elizabeth Hurley dropped into Larry Flynt's Hustler megastore in Hollywood and left with a "carrier bag" full of sex toys, in Scotland's Daily Record. - - - - - - - - - - - - Neighbors on the rebound Dennis Rodman, bad boy or good neighbor? The Associated Press reports that police in Newport Beach, Calif., have been called to Rodman's house so many times to ask him to tone down his loud parties, they're considering charging him with violating the city's noise ordinance, which could lead to jail time. But while one neighbor who refuses to come forward wrote a letter last week asking that Rodman be evicted ("I have the right to peace and quiet," the disgruntled resident observed), other neighbors swear that Rodman's a fine chap, inviting them over for barbecues and other gatherings. According to the AP, he even picks up some of their children from elementary school. Oh my. - - - - - - - - - - - - And that ain't just lip service "I like my tongue. It's the sexiest part of my body ... it causes the most pleasure for me. I love tongues on men, too. I'm a tongue person, I guess. But tongue piercings drive me crazy ... I prefer naked tongue." -- Actress Natasha Henstridge, getting in a few licks in Stuff. - - - - - - - - - - - - Dr. Feelgood? Not! He may have cut quite a white-coated figure during his time on "ER," but nowadays George Clooney could use a little work on his bedside manner. Clooney tells the upcoming TV Guide that, if asked, he would consider returning for a guest appearance on Julianna Margulies' last "ER" turn. But he doesn't miss the show at all. "Not in the least," he says. Then he disses the show that made him a household name, admitting he wrote a spiky letter to the show's executive producer spelling out its failings. "In the first year of the show, we had a guy walk in with an arrow stuck in his head. He asked for admitting, we pointed him in that direction, and we never saw him again," Clooney says. "If we did that now, we'd take him into the emergency room and talk about how amazing it is that he's alive. And then, you know, Julianna's character would sort of cry because her parents died from an Indian attack. And I said, you know, that's the problem now." Intubate that show, stat! - - - - - - - - - - - - See? It had nothing to do with a gerbil ... "I never saw myself as someone who would be divorced. But the fact was Richard was 40 and wanted to live in a tent in India, and I was 22 and wanted a family and a white fence. Our maps just didn't match." -- Cindy Crawford on why her marriage to Richard Gere didn't last. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits If Darva Conger does decide to peel off her old nurse's uniform for Playboy, as she has hinted she might, Hugh Hefner's people can be assured of at least one magazine sale. Conger's soon-to-be-ex "multimillionaire" hubby, Rick Rockwell, recently admitted on CNN that he hoped his wife would pose. "I want to see her," he says. Awww. For the life-imitates-art files: Mena Suvari, who played the nubile object of Kevin Spacey's affection in "American Beauty," has married a man nearly twice her age. The 21-year-old actress revealed last week that she and 38-year-old cinematographer Robert Brinkmann tied the knot at a secret ceremony in early March. Lester's loss was Robert's gain. Who is the unnamed couple bidding on the 2,400-square-foot Tribeca penthouse loft formerly occupied by John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy? Rumor has it, Ed Burns and Heather Graham are awaiting co-op board approval to snap up the space for $2.4 million. According to FashionWireDaily, Burns and Graham recently got edged out of a deal on another apartment at 71 Hudson Street, which, the Web site points out, "is slightly spooky, considering that JFK rented the same apartment for two years." Bet Oliver Stone could come up with a pretty good conspiracy theory about that one ...
