Celebrity Quote Of The Week

"I asked the hairdresser, 'Do I really need to be in the first shot?' and she said, 'Yeah, we asked, and you definitely have to be in it.' So it's like, 'Da-a-addy, do I have to be in the first shot?' And he's like, 'Nope.' It was great."
-- Gwyneth Paltrow on her grueling "Duets" shoot, as reported by Salon.com

If I made you accidentally vomit while you read that quote, I apologize. But the truth must be told!

SEEN!

Friday had her own personal preview for the film "Dancer In The Dark" when she suddenly came across pop-icon-turned-actress Bjork walking toward her, wearing a potentially fake, full-body fox fur: "its head staring at her breasts as she walked." Ah, so typically strange, ain't she! Incidentally, I just looked into my crystal ball and I saw next year's Academy Award race for Best Actress: Julia Roberts vs. Bjork.

An odd assemblage of talent descended on the FHM Magazine party at Eugene last week, including boxing star Lennox Lewis (who is not gay and wants the world to know), porn star Heather Hunter, model Tyson Beckford, and hanger-on Stephen Baldwin. Meanwhile, Stevie's brother Billy Baldwin was seen at the corner of Broadway and Lafayette giving some money to a homeless guy. Be careful, darling, that could be you one day!

Always one for torture, I stopped in at Spa last week, where dozens of different parties were going on, including soirees for Jean-Paul Gaultier, Detour Magazine, HX Magazine, and legendary artists Pierre et Gilles, who look less strange in person than in their heavily airbrushed pictures. Also in a corner booth: Gabriel Byrne smiling, drinking, and enjoying the deejaying prowess of drag queen superstar "Lady" Bunny. Of course the place was a fire hazard -- so packed with fabulons, pseudo-fabulons, fabulons-to-be, and nobodies -- that I couldn't even get to the bloody bar (i.e. I left after 30 minutes)!

Had there been a fire, everyone would have been killed instantly, unless Sally Field were there! Seems the glorious actress can evacuate a building faster than a Melanie Griffith movie marathon. In Toronto, she and her costars in the upcoming film "Beautiful" were relaxing in their hotel suites when a fire alarm went off. Not one to dally about, Sally quickly gathered up her cast (which includes Minnie Driver) and got them safely out of the building, stopping on her way to help an old woman reach the lobby. Then she went back inside and single-handedly stamped out the flames by delivering her searing "Norma Rae" monologue.

"Gregoire, it's me, the captain of the losing team of Glam-Quest Summer 2000, still frothing for a rematch, which, if it were taking place right now, I would single-handedly win because of last night's encounter. I was crossing Eighth Street at Broadway against the light when a black Mercedes honked at me. I said, 'Shut up,' because I should always be able to cross the light because I am me. He honked again, and I turned around to say, 'Oh, good for you with the horn.' However, halfway through the sentence, I realized who was driving the car, so I finished off with nary a pause: 'Oh, good for you with the horn ... Puffy.' I guess I'm lucky he didn't shoot me, huh? (No Jennifer, alas he was accompanied by a male member of his 'posse.')" --Amy

Oh, please, dear, why aim a revolver at you when he can plant that Mercedes logo right into your abdomen with brute force? Glad to hear you escaped this near-fatal encounter with Daddy Puffums.

"Gregoire, hi! I'm from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. On Tuesday, the boy band 98 Degrees was in our city promoting their new album. Well, they were being interviewed by one of our local radio stations Power 92, when they started saying how bitchy and neurotic Toni Braxton was at the MTV awards. Apparently, the band said she was probably 'on' something and she was just flipping out and that is really not the 'real' Toni Braxton. Can you believe they said that?"

It does seem a tad foolhardy to be wringing other people's dirty laundry out to the Canadian press. Trust me, that kind of scoop wafts down into the States faster than the northern breeze (or a bad Celine Dion ballad)! If Toni knew some juicy info on Nick and the boys -- and I'm sure some exists, just look at them! -- I doubt she'd spill it during a random radio interview. My favorite bankrupt R&B star's got some restraint, for sure, messy drama queen though she is.

"Gregoire, so I was browsing at CB Bigelow's in the West Village before meeting some friends for martinis, and who was trying on lipstick there but Liv Tyler!" - Rebecca in Tribeca

Just imagine! An offspring of Stephen Tyler spending some serious glamour time on her luscious lips. I'll bet they spend millions of dollars a year on lip products and salves alone, more money than even Jennifer Lopez spends on lipgloss! (That's saying a lot, too. In "The Cell," I swear you could see your own reflection on Jenny's mouth.)

Until D-a-a-ddy lets me sit out the first shot of the morning,

Gregoire
