  Gossip with Gregoire!


Tuesday, August 24, 1999

The hysteria surrounding "The Sixth Sense" has gotten so insane that you can't even utter the line "I see dead people" to a crowded subway car without suddenly starting a stampede! (I tried it and it really works.) Finally I broke down and saw this Bruce Willis film and basically figured out the "shocking" ending within the first five minutes. What was more shocking to me, actually was the appearance of former New Kid On The Block Donnie Wahlberg, popping up here as a gun-wielding nutcase with a Calistalicious physiqu. Due to the intensity of the scene, I was unable to observe whether Donald was still "hangin' tough." With Jordan and Joe also making slight solo attempts to reclaim their stardom, one only wonders if Jon and Danny are up to anything.

Molly's World

This week's column's second throwback, Molly Ringwald, is making an appearance in the super-flop "Teaching Mrs. Tingle," though it's her impending pregnancy that'll be tingling her for the next nine months. That's right, Miss Molly's going pregnant in pink, just a month after her marriage to writer Valery Lamenigere. Seems the rigors of carrying a child have already been affecting Molly's mind; she showed up last week to what she thought was the movie premiere to "Tingle" only to be barraged by journalists asking questions regarding the week's OTHER flop new film "Love Stinks" with Tyra Banks. Whoops! Seems Molly went to the wrong premiere! Don't you hate when that happens to you?

Randy Rose

From the Too-Much-Information Department: The NY Post just revealed the seamier details of Gloria Stuart's autobiography entitled "I Just Kept Hoping," which documents the literal millions of sex couplings had by the aged Titanic actress. "I remember one weekend there was so much activity I could hardly get out of bed," says the 89-year-old Wilt Chamberlainne in one passage. The sagging sweetheart also worked as a nude model in San Francisco in the years following her initial film stardom. (Wonder if that's what gave James Cameron the idea to sketch Kate Winslet in the nude?) Seems also that the petite passion fish kept it going even after Social Security kicked in; at 72, she had a lustful affair with a 78 year old whom she had sex with earlier in life but had forgotten about. Needless to say, these saucy septuagenarians played around "easily, often and joyously ... which discombobulated many of his lady friends." Hell, it discombobulates me!

Hah. Now go watch Titanic.

Sightings

While stumbling to the HoJo last week, I noticed a very conspicuous film crew outside a Broadway theater on 45th Street. I investigated to discover a commercial being filmed for a new Estee Lauder product -- looked like a lotion -- and who was being filmed walking into this redecorated "Estee Lauder theater" than Liz Hurley, drop-dead beautiful in perfect make-up and a silky, silver gown. It's always wonderful to catch stars in their natural environ -- in Liz's case, that means anyplace with cameras -- because they look so much more idyllic than, say, Lenny Kravitz , who was just seen this week working out a downtown gym. Still sexy, yes, though it's hard to adore him when he's drenched in sweat (unless you're Whitney Houston, who is never NOT sweating).

Later that evening, while on my way to dinner, in Hell's Kitchen I nearly ran over Richard Chamberlain. escorted by a male companion or bodyguard. I did not come in actual physical contact with him, which was fortunate, as I would have smeared his heavy layers of makeup; clearly he was on his way to perform some sort of Kabuki Thorn Birds.

A spy within the Dolce & Gabbana clan told me that the sultry, sharp-featured Angie Harmon from "Law And Order" was seen greatly enjoying the performance by transexual Amanda Lapore at a recent D & G party in Chelsea the other night. Later, she was seen digging the Sugar Hill Gang, who performed shortly after. How, er, fashionable.

Speaking of fashion, Jay-Z was seen in the East Village living a hard knock life by stopping inside Urban Outfitters in his hot new purple BMW. Was he there to pick up a votive candle or an inflatable chair? We'll never know....

Gregoire's MailBag

Limp Biskit fans are a vicious lot! I got more hate mail than Satan on Sunday for my little itty, bitty implication that maybe, just maybe, this popular rock band weren't the most original musical artists on the earth. Behold the only legible sample:

"You suck! I read your little section about Limp Biskit. Correct me if I'm wrong, but did you compare Limp to the Beastie Boys? They are from two different types of music: heavy, and messed-up-crap! I could stand listening to the Beastie Boys, but I could not listen to you compare them to the almighty Limp Biskit. Plus I know that Fred could kick the crap out of Dennis Rodman n-e-day! Cum On Man, are you stupid or what? You must have eaten paint chips as a young child!"

First of all, the paint chips were water-based and affected only my physical appearance, not my critical mind. But thank you for correcting me on the Limp Biskit originality thing! Seems they didn't rip off the Beastie Boys. They ripped off The Beastie Boys AND Rage Against The Machine. Oh wait, except Rage Against The Machine are intelligent artists with political and social messages. Limp Biskit is simply a loud, loudly marketed band that incites rioting crowds to pillage! Mavis, get the Grammy committee on the line!

In other news, one reader defends Richard Gere's hair color choice by proclaiming "I LIKE the salt and pepper hair. Grecian Formula looks terrible." But how does he maintain it, I wonder? Shouldn't he be more salt-n-peppery now than he was twenty years ago? Will it look the same in forty years? Will it look the same in four thousand years? Oh, the enigma wrapped in a mystery wrapped in L'Oreal that is Gere's head!

"Hey Gregoire, babe, how about check'n out some of those top CEO's, and those powerhouse guys who run the top corps! I just betcha that you can come up with more dirt and gossip and some way-out-there stuff! I like to know all about those people and their secrets too. After all Gregoire, don't they just about run our country?"

Actually, I've often been asked why I don't leap into the affairs of politicians and corporate bigwigs. Does anybody really want to know the sex secrets of the CEOs of Pfizer or Shell Oil? Thank you, but I prefer I little glitz in my trash, if you know what I mean. As for the more name-worthy power elite, usually their proclivities are covered up or so widespread that it's a non-issue. Seriously, if I had a dollar for every prostitute who comes up to me and says they've slept with David Geffen, why, I'd BE David Geffen. (I can't even print the rumors I've heard about him, as BG is a family site.)

Plus, supposedly, weren't those people the ones at the orgy? What else do you need to know?

Until the release of the "The Seventh Sense" starring Demi Moore ("I see dead careers"),
Gregoire
