March 29, 2000 | The British tabloids are reporting that Sean "Puffy" Combs was banned from the set of "The Wedding Planner" after he threatened Matthew McConaughey about getting too close to his girlfriend, Jennifer Lopez, with whom McConaughey shares some steamy love scenes. "Keep away from Jennifer," Puffy reportedly told McConaughey, before he and his entourage cornered the actor in his trailer for "a long chat." Amy Reiter Amy Reiter's column appears daily on the People site, Monday through Friday.
Got a hot tip? Tell Amy! "Later Puffy was banned from the set when they filmed a lengthy love scene because the director feared Puffy could have lost it," an unnamed witness tells Scotland's Daily Record. "It's a good thing, too, because Matthew looked like he was really enjoying the kiss -- they needed seven takes and each one lasted 10 seconds." A lot can happen in 70 seconds. - - - - - - - - - - - - Naked she came ... to London "At the moment the towel came off a kind of gasp -- of surprise or delight or horror -- went around the audience." -- The London Evening Standard on Kathleen Turner's nude scene as aging seductress Mrs. Robinson in the West End stage production of "The Graduate." - - - - - - - - - - - - The naked truth Puffy's not the only one keeping an eye on Matthew McConaughey these days. Sandra Bullock apparently still has a thing for her ex-boyfriend's buff bod. Bullock recently told the Calgary Sun that when she first heard about McConaughey's naked-bongo-playing brush with the law last October, she freaked. "Matthew isn't the kind of guy to get out of hand," she said. But as the details of McConaughey's arrest emerged, she "understood perfectly." "It was his house and he didn't feel the police had the right to tell him how to dress or not to dress," Bullock explained, before offering her own opinion. "Matthew looks gorgeous naked," Bullock said. "He should be naked as much as possible until things start falling." Or until Puffy starts making them fall ... - - - - - - - - - - - - A threat? "There are things I won't expose, like who my musical influences are. I'm gonna tell you who I've slept with before I tell you that. Certain things are sacred." -- Tori Amos on influential exposure, in Rolling Stone. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Oops, she did it again: Britney Spears was given four stitches after a heavy camera fell on her head during a video shoot for her single "Oops, I Did It Again." It's the second time this year Spears has suffered a head wound while filming a video. In January, she fell off a bed while filming "Born to Make You Happy." Is Christina Aguilera pulling a Tonya Harding or what? Has Charlie Sheen cleaned up his act? California Judge Lawrence Mira apparently thinks so. On Monday, he released the star 71 days early from probation on alcohol and drug offenses. "I feel great," Sheen told the press after the ruling. "They say the longest journey begins with a single step. I took that first step two years ago in the courtroom. Everything has improved since then." Talk about spin city. Meanwhile, in another California courtroom ... Jason Priestley was sentenced to five days in jail Tuesday after pleading no contest to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge from his Dec. 3 traffic accident. He's also been ordered to serve three years probation and to enter a drug or alcohol treatment program. 9021 ... oh well. Houston, we've got a problem. The New York Post reports that it wasn't a "sore throat" that kept Whitney Houston from singing during the Oscar telecast as scheduled. Sources have told the paper that the singer was booted off the show by musical director Burt Bacharach and replaced by Faith Hill because she was "totally out of it" and "discombobulated" during rehearsals. "Just leave," Bacharach is reported to have told Houston. "It's not going to work out." Harsh. Jimmy Page did not -- I repeat, did not -- buy John Bonham a stairway to heaven. The British High Court has ordered the publishers of Ministry magazine to pay undisclosed libel damages for printing an article in 1999 alleging that Page watched his Led Zeppelin band mate choke on his own vomit while he stood over him in Satanist robes, performed a useless spell, and fretted about puke getting on his sheets. Gosh, and it sounded so plausible ...
