Sprout, sprout, let it all out

"A complete load of shit!" exclaims the actress. She's pretty sure she's figured out how the item made it into Liz Smith's gossip column, though. While filming in Australia, she explains in an interview in Mademoiselle, she stopped off at a supermarket. "I went in, I saw Brussels sprouts -- they were massive -- and I just really wanted them." So she bought them and asked a cafe to cook them up for her. Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! Next thing she knew, local reporters were nosing around the cafe asking questions and -- quicker than you can say, "How would you liked those cooked, ma'am?" -- a gossip item was born. "I don't even go on diets," says Winslet (who recently boasted that she liked "having a good pair of tits on me and a good ass"). "I don't believe in them." - - - - - - - - - - - - Alien behavior "I put that wig on and I didn't say an intelligent thing for four months. My voice went up, I walked differently and I would ask incredibly stupid questions." -- Sigourney Weaver on going blond for "Galaxy Quest." - - - - - - - - - - - - Bell-bottom blues Ashton Kutcher, who plays Kelso on "That '70s Show," is definitely not ready for his close-up. He blames his pants. The mega-tight bell-bottoms he wears on the show are just a little too revealing, Kutcher recently told reporters. "If you go to the bathroom and you don't shake it good enough, everybody's going to know because everything's right there. There's no hiding it." What a drip. - - - - - - - - - - - - He's baaack "Hello Friends in Cyberspace: Who is this? Can you guess? I'm one free Mother Fucker ... Let the celebration begin." -- Stone Temple Pilots singer Scott Weiland, gleefully broadcasting his release from prison/drug rehab in a message on the group's Web site. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Ground control to major opportunist: You can't name your bank "Bowiebank.com." Q magazine reports that David Bowie was forced to change the name of his Internet venture (which plans to offer David Bowie credit cards, online bill payment and bank cards) from "Bowiebank.com" to "Bowiebanc.com" because the First National Bank of Bowie, Texas, already had dibs on the name. Rumor has it that Catherine Zeta-Jones dropped out of Oliver Stone's film "Beyond Borders" because she needed time to plan her impending wedding to Michael Douglas. "Catherine wants her wedding day to be perfect and needs time to prepare for it," one "insider" told Scotland's Daily Record. Stone retaliated by offering her role to Julia Roberts, the "Runaway Bride." Billy Ray Cyrus' wife, Tish, popped out a new baby girl on Jan. 8, the birthday of her husband's idol. "A brand new baby girl on Elvis' birthday!" the singer exclaimed. "What a perfect way for me and Tish to begin the new millennium together." Be still, his achy-breaky heart. George Clooney's no fool. The actor told reporters this week that he hasn't been contacted to guest on "ER" but said, "I'd go back for $2 million an episode -- I'm not an idiot." Cash, stat. Maybe he spent all the money on guitars and Cadillacs? According to the Hollywood Reporter, the cast and crew of Dwight Yoakam's directorial debut, a low-budget indie film called "South of Heaven, West of Hell," have filed union complaints and taken legal action against the country singer, accusing him of refusing to pay them for their work on the project -- making it north of lucrative and northeast of worth their time. Who can name a more efficient way to "Win Ben Stein's Money?" Anyone ... anyone? How about just stealing it? That's what two armed muggers did outside the game-show host/actor's Beverly Hills home last week. They got his cash, his credit cards, his jewelry, his paycheck, his briefcase ... and his gratitude. Said Stein, "I will be eternally grateful to the guys who mugged me that they didn't shoot me and kill me."
