In line at the grocery story Wednesday, I stood behind a woman purchasing a copy of US and The National Enquirer. Some heavy duty reading there. She also had on yellow socks and a fanny pack, so there were other forces at work. But I don't get my celebrity info from such rags. Rather, I click my mouse along the beacon of electronic truth known as the Internet. You can believe everything you read online, trust me.
Take, for example, the collection of celebrity gossip known as the A List. Who's gay? Who flies in Thai hookers to movie sets? Who's got a torture chamber in her house? Who's got five more minutes to finish this post and find out?
Allow me to take you into the lives of the rich, famous and fake-boobed, with an assist from the A List:
Kirstie Alley: The former Cheers star turned tricks as a teen, boasts about her parents' sexual skill and has a torture chamber in her house. And she's on the cover of The National Enquirer, which reports that the bloated, 5-7 Scientologist weighs over three bills.
Jennifer Aniston: A big pothead who tips well.
Warren Beatty: Linked with Isabelle Adjani, Brigitte Bardot, Candice Bergen, Halle Berry, Sonia Braga, Judy Carne, Cher, Julie Christie, Joan Collins, Janice Dickinson, Britt Ekland, Jane Fonda, Melanie Griffith, Goldie Hawn, Bianca Jagger, Diane Keaton, Madonna, Vivian Leigh, Jackie Onassis, Michelle Phillips, Diana Ross, Diane Sawyer, Stephanie Seymour, Carly Simon, Barbara Streisand, Liv Ullman, Mamie Van Doren, Tennessee Williams, and Natalie Wood.
Clint Black: Prefers uncut men. He likes playing with the skin and loves to give, not receive.
Kobe Bryant: Described Beyoncé as boring in bed.
George Bush: Glad-handing sack of shit.
Helena Bonham Carter: Dresses like an old homeless woman and has the worst breath you've ever smelled.
Bill Clinton: Reportedly nailed Sharon Stone on election evening.
Joan Crawford: Slept with every male star at MGM except Lassie.
Matt Damon: Likes threeways with hookers and Ben Affleck. One account has the two looking at each other (and getting off on that) while doing the pro.
Mel Gibson: Has a taste for Thai hookers; has them flown in while he's on set. Is also a shoe fetishist. Locals on one film agreed that he had the world's worst case of b.o.
Reggie Jackson: Gay or bisexual.
Michael Jordan: Linked with Robin Givens, Vanessa Williams, and various porn stars (including Kylie Ireland).
Jay Leno: Into bondage. Buffoon. Linked with Sandra Bernhard.
Nancy Davis Reagan: Reported to give the best head in Hollywood, in her day.
Winona Ryder: Linked with Ryan Adams, Dodi al Fayeed, Beck, Bono, Ed Burns, George Clooney, Matt Damon, Evan Dando, Daniel Day-Lewis, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., David Duchovny, Adam Duritz, Jakob Dylan, Everlast, Jimmy Fallon, Dave Grohl, Corey Haim, Chris Isaak, Courtney Love, Brittany Murphy, Chris Noth, Dave Pirner, Charlie Sheen, Christian Slater, Mark Wahlberg, Paul Westerberg, Bruce Willis, and Pete Yorn.
And there you have it. An intimate, and 100% truthful, look at some celebrity lives. The A-List qualifies its findings by saying that they "may or may not be true, and is based on hearsay, rumor, and gossip..." Ah, whatever. If it's good enough for the Internet, it's good enough for me.
