In the Buffy
- - - - - - - - - - - - So proclaims Sarah Michelle Gellar in the upcoming issue of TV Guide. "I do not want to see Cameron Diaz's butt crack on the cover of Vanity Fair," harrumphs the vampire slayer. Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! And she's not too impressed with "Felicity" star Keri Russell for revealing the details of how she lost her virginity in a recent Jane magazine interview. "I want to know about their jobs and their hobbies," Gellar says of her fellow actresses, "but I'm not interested in when or how they lost their virginity." Then, of course, she goes on to comment about her own love life (or lack thereof -- "It's no fun not having someone to snuggle up with on a rainy day") -- and her own body parts. Objecting to rumors that she's anorexic, she blurts, "I've always been a skinny little thing. Yes, I did at one point have a little baby fat and I did lose that. But I'm a 5-foot-2, tiny-boned person." And no, she hasn't had "a boob job." "Lemme tell ya," she says, pointing at her breasts, "if I paid for these, I'd like 'em to look a lot better than this." See? She's nothing like those other oversharing actresses ... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - No angel "I love to kick butt." -- Cameron Diaz on how training for the "Charlie's Angels" movie has "brought out the tough girl" in her, in the U.K.'s Now magazine. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I got a rock Looking for a really far-out Valentine's Day gift for your sweet baboo? Something to rocket your relationship right to the next level? How about cologne designed to smell like a meteor? A team of British perfumers at Quest International -- which has developed scents for everyone from Dior, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Hermes to Avon and Mary Kay -- have put their noses together and come up with a "concept fragrance" that captures the smell of moon dust. Based on the observations of astronauts and on lead sniffer Les Small's own "close encounter with a meteorite," the unisex essential oil, Meteorite Accord, may soon be headed to a perfume counter near you. (Quest spokeswoman Shirley Giovetti says the aroma experts cooked up the moony brew when they were feeling "exceptionally creative.") According to marketing materials, the experimental fragrance is "smoky, metallic, almost like gunpowder." Nothing like the whiff of gunpowder to let your special someone know you care ... - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Fly me to the moon "I would like to get into the Guinness Book as the first Latin American artist to play on the moon. It's easy to get a rocket now." -- Latin jazzman Tito Puente, sharing his lunar ambitions in the Toronto Sun. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits You thought watching John Malkovich going through his own portal was strange? Variety reports that "Being John Malkovitch" screenwriter Charlie Kaufman's next screenplay, "Human Nature," will focus on a woman (to be played by Patricia Arquette) whose hormonal imbalance leaves her covered in body hair, and a scientist (Paul Giamatti) who contends that good table manners will save the world. Please pass the SALT treaty? Brace yourselves: "Life Is Beautiful" star Roberto Benigni is heading back to the Oscars -- this time as a presenter. Maybe the hyperkinetic actor-director wants to make good on last year's promise to "make love to everybody." Next up for Barbie -- a pierced navel? Well, she's one step closer, anyway: She now has a bellybutton. The new "Jewel Girl" Barbie boasts a midsection with a navel and no unsightly waist seam, allowing the doll to don midriff-baring fashions with impunity. "Bend her over and she gets a little bit of a [paunch]," Barbie marketing exec Anne Parducci tells USA Today. The emphasis, of course, is on "little bit."
