His highness gets down
- - - - - - - - - - - -
April 4, 2000 | I dunno, maybe it's just me, but if I were the future king of England, I might think twice about getting up onstage at a hotel pub and belting out "YMCA." Not so, Prince William. According to U.K. papers, the young royal made like a Village Person on a recent geography field trip, belting out a karaoke version of the gay anthem/ballpark favorite with three school chums. (Quick, fetch the queen's smelling salts!) Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! "The prince really got into it and was singing his heart out," hotel owner John Hudson told reporters. "He did the hand movements along to the song, although he didn't do the dance routine." No word on whether he was the Indian, the cowboy, the cop or the construction worker. - - - - - - - - - - - - Action Jackson "My action figure sells out, so that's real cool. It's kind of good to know that people are playing with me." -- Samuel L. Jackson on the continuing popularity of the "Phantom Menace" action figure made in his image. - - - - - - - - - - - - They're called boobs, Ed ... Good news for Julia Roberts. The real Erin Brockovich is pretty pleased with the way she's depicted her on the big screen. The film, Brockovich says, is wholly accurate, despite what the Wall Street Journal's been saying. That is, except for one thing: Roberts' peek-a-boo bras. "Actually, I never show my bra," the cleavage-flaunting crusader indignantly informs the London Telegraph. "I wouldn't. It's not my style." Got that? - - - - - - - - - - - - Some hairdos never die "Most people can have bad hairdos and no one sees it. Mine live in infamy." -- Tori Spelling on tressing to excess in Australia's New Weekly magazine. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Is reconciliation in the future for Soon-Yi, Mia and Woody? Woody Allen has told the New York Post that'd be A-OK with him. "I'd get together with her in a minute," Allen says of Mia Farrow, the longtime lover he jilted in favor of her adopted daughter, Soon-Yi Previn. He says he's sure Soon-Yi still loves mama Mia. Now doesn't that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy? Sounds like Madonna's hormones are acting up. The Maternal Girl was recently spotted bursting into tears as she bid her lover Guy Ritchie adieu at Heathrow Airport before jetting off to the U.S. She also appears to be going through that pre-baby nesting phase. London real estate agent Graham Bond has told U.K. papers that she's instructed Ritchie to scour the London neighborhood Chelsea and find her a home a pronto. "Madonna is sick of renting and has told Guy to make sure he finds a home quickly, with good security and enough room," Bond said. "Somewhere they can move into before the child is born." The Beatles are getting back to where they once belonged. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison are collaborating on "The Beatles Anthology," a whopping book that will reveal the reasons for the band's breakup 30 years ago as well as drugs, sex and personal rivalries within its ranks. "It will dispel some of the myths and put the record straight, as every Tom, Dick and uncle of a friend has been writing books on the Beatles since 1963," McCartney told the U.K. Sunday Telegraph. The influence of Yoko Ono, who will receive a quarter of the book's profits, will also be gauged. Three words: Revolution No. 9. Halle Berry has turned herself in after being charged Friday with leaving the scene of an accident that injured her and another driver on Feb. 23. The Associated Press reports that Berry was cited for the misdemeanor and then released on Saturday. She's scheduled to appear in court May 4 and, if convicted, could face up to one year in county jail and $10,000 fine. Berry, berry scary ... But not as scary as getting ganged up on by the members of Motley Crüe. The Greensboro, N.C, security guard who accused Tommy Lee and Nikki Sixx of assaulting him during a concert, shouting racial epithets at him and inciting the crowd to attack him during a 1997 concert has settled his suit against the band. And the fans go wild. She'll be back? Linda Hamilton says she'd be up for a "Terminator" sequel -- but only if her adulterous ex-husband James Cameron is at the helm. "He's the genius behind those projects," Hamilton tells TV Guide. You might even say he's king of the "Terminator" world.
