April 15, 2000 | - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Monday: "Come to daddy" Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! OK, show of hands: How many of you spent Friday a.m. gazing at your morning paper and marveling over how strikingly attractive Elián González's father is? And let's face it. Juan Miguel González, flanked by his equally photogenic wife and baby son, probably had an inkling, too. "What do I have to do to prove I love my child?" González reportedly asked Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., last week. Answer: Show photos of his adorable family to Janet Reno. Immediately after receiving the pics, Reno issued a statement saying she intends to "take every step to ensure that a transfer occurs in a fair, prompt and orderly manner." And González himself declared, "I'm sure ... that soon I'll have my son with me."

Particularly if there's any danger that you might drop the world's largest disco ball on his head. The Los Angeles Times reports that, before agreeing to appear at a gay dance event boasting said whopping mirror ball, the gender-bending '80s icon -- who was nearly crushed by a plummeting mirror ball of average size last year -- took a few precautions. At his insistence, the event's promoter provided him with a written pledge that the ball will be kept at least 50 feet away from him.

Her habit of lying to hapless journalists -- just for snicks! -- is worrying her mother. "Every week I get another frantic call from my mother asking if it is true that I have a compulsion to shoplift every day and that I have a special poncho to put stolen CDs in or that I am in love with my prison pen pal, Charlie Manson. That's what I told the London Times." Recently, Gershon says, she told "this completely ignorant British interviewer" that "The Vagina Monologues," in which she's acting, is "a new sci-fi movie about how the last baby on Earth had to be hidden from UFOs inside the womb of a living sheep but you could still hear the baby talking." "I expect the phone to ring any minute from Mom asking me if the sheep vagina story is true," Gershon chortles.

The New Country, an Australian newspaper, may be facing a lawsuit after erroneously claiming that pop princess Natalie Imbruglia is having a lesbian affair with Silverchair's Daniel Johns, according to Dotmusic.com. "Romance Between Woman Stars of Rock," blared a headline in the weekly paper. "Homosexual activity in the past would have remained secret or else threatened one's career," the paper opined. "Not only does no one criticize some stars for their lesbian relationships, but now it is a form of advertising." Thanks for the interesting insight, mates, but ... um ... Daniel Johns is a guy.

Reports are swirling that Bill Murray and Lucy Liu mixed it up -- and nearly came to fisticuffs -- on the set of "Charlie's Angels" recently. According to Variety, the trouble started when Liu took issue with the film's script midtake. Murray came to the dialogue's defense. A raucous argument ensued. The rest of the cast made a beeline for their trailers, and the shoot was called off for the day. The next day, all interested parties -- Liu, Murray, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore -- reportedly met with the director for a little smoothing over.
