Eggs, legs and eating beauty

Nov. 20, 1999 |
- - - - - - - - - - - - Monday: "Women of the year: Talking on eggs" Camera-ready odd couples were everywhere at Glamour magazine's Women of the Year awards Thursday night. There was Elizabeth Dole, who received a lifetime achievement award, posing with Jewel. (Flash!) There were pols Donna Shalala and Barbara Boxer chatting it
up with members of the soccer team as alpha advisor Naomi
Wolf, plus-size model Emme and civil rights activist Myrlie
Evers-Williams, among other current and past honorees,
circulated in the background. (Flash ... flash-flash!) … And that was just at the pre-show press conference. Katie Couric, clad in a sleeveless black leather sheath and high black boots ("Am I a glamour do or what?" she crowed), kicked off the festivities by reciting the highlights of the year that was: "Monica moved on, and so did we," she said. "Hillary hit the campaign trail." But when she got to Martha Stewart's highly successful IPO, she got a little personal: "I thought we bonded over all that candle-dipping," she quipped. "But she didn't call. She didn't write. So there goes my piece of that IPO."

was bad. Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! In the December Esquire, Sharon Stone brings basic instincts to a whole new level. The actress weighs in on one thing she thinks a guy oughta do before he dies: shave a woman's legs. "You've got to ask yourself why," she proclaims. "Why do I want to shave a woman's legs? Why do I want to know how? Why haven't I fantasized about this before? Do other guys fantasize about this?" Accessories to your crime of passion? Stone recommends whipped cream, fruit, chocolates and a bit of bubbly. "Don't be afraid to taste the fruits of your labor," she counsels.

The actress/comedian confesses to Bust magazine that she's gotta have it ... all the time. "I am so much more interested in having sex now than I ever was," she says. "I'm always initiating sex. It's embarrassing."

She longed to be like the busty Jennifer Love Hewitt. "I'm obsessed with that girl!" she says. "But [she and Sarah Michelle Gellar are] probably having less fun than me, because they have to be so happy and such good role models." Still, being a sexy teenage role model has its drawbacks: "It makes me uncomfortable -- the idea of little boys in their parents' bathrooms, jacking off to me. Yuck."

Yes, the fancy frocks would melt right on the models if they wore them too long, confirms show spokeswoman Stephanie Teuwen. And yes, they're all edible. "Last year," Teuwen confides, "we had a dress made out of chocolate-covered orange peel that the designer kept having to redo because people kept eating it."
