Dampened spirits
Sharon Stone's got a bone to pick with Cindy Crawford's baby; Björk storms off Lars Von Trier's set.

May 4, 2000 |  Wanna know the surest way to piss off Sharon Stone? Pee on her.

According to Scotland's Daily Record, Stone was none too pleased when Cindy Crawford's wee son, Presley, dampened his diaper while she was holding him recently during a film shoot in the Bahamas.

"Sharon was mighty upset at the time," said a witness to the wetness. "She gave him back and rushed inside to change as she muttered a few expletives."

Got a hot tip? Tell Amy!



Guess she learned a thing or two about basic instincts.

Why it's a "Lifeline," not a "Wifeline"

"You're so screwed!"

-- Tea Leoni to her husband David Duchovny, after he called her for help on the celebrity edition of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."

Björk: Worse than her bite

That wacky Björk!

According to the Danish Daily Berlingske Tidende, the Icelandic pop diva's over-the-top on-the-set temper tantrums almost derailed Danish director Lars Von Trier's new film, "Dancer in the Dark," in which she stars.

During one particularly bizarre blowup, Björk startled the film crew by ripping off a hunk of Von Trier's shirt with her teeth and storming off the set in her bare feet.

Production on the $12.2 million followup to Von Trier's "Breaking the Waves" and "The Idiots" was halted until the strange star returned -- four days later.

The old man and the bottle

"This man was extraordinarily prolific. The amount of drinking this man did in a day is what I would do in six months."

-- "Monty Python" alum Michael Palin on Ernest Hemingway's special talents.

Juicy bits

I gotta say, this one smelled fishy to me from the start. Rumors of a secret wedding between Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie are apparently false. "They are not married and not engaged," Thornton's publicist, Michelle Bega, told the New York Daily News this week. They are, however, "very much together." Got that?

He's wild, he's crazy and he's returning to TV. Variety reports that Steve Martin has signed a three-year deal to develop and produce new TV shows for Carsey-Werner, the company behind "That '70s Show" and "Third Rock From the Sun." "I am very excited to be working with Carsey-Werner," said the comedian, "but I am even more excited not to be dead." Now if only he could stop shouting "Woo!"

If you're always getting Lucy Liu, who plays Ling Woo on "Ally McBeal," confused with "The View's" Lisa Ling, you're not the only one. Happens all the time, Liu tells USA Today. However, she says, she doesn't think they look anything alike: "It's like saying Hillary Clinton looks like Janet Reno." Well, now that she mentions it ...
