HOLLYWOOD
HOLLYWOOD ... Still a mystery how
all those lovely ladies in little-nothing
dresses and no wraps didn't get pneu-
monia walking the Golden Globes red
carpet in the cold. Als0, those who will
admit, do admit that the show was a bit
long and more than a bit boring. And
wait, all ye award-show watchers, there
are more to come.
This is not really Hollywood news,
but it's news. I was never a Katie Cou-
ric fan until now. After watching her on
"The Charley Rose Show" tell about her
coverage of the Haitian disaster, and the
young 13-year-old lying in the street
who held on to her while they set both
his broken legs, I say "Congrats, Katie.''
It must have really been a "tough go."
And please, please George, and I
mean Clooney, please get rid of that
hairy facial stuff. You are gorgeous
clean-shaven, but under that hirsute
adornment -- No!
Glenn Close, on the "Late Show With
David Letterman," in a skirt and blouse
looking not at all like those "little black
dress" ladies. And next time you see
her, take a good, long look at her face.
A trip to a plastic surgeon, maybe? ...
AND aren't you a wee bit tired of this
Jay Leno/Conan O'Brien brouhaha.
... And while we're on random sub-
jects, if ever there is a need to portray
President Barack Obama, try Denzel
Washington.
Remember when Sarah Ferguson
married into the royal family? She was
sort of heavy, with bouncing red hair.
Today she is slim and trim, with the
trendy long, straight hair, bangs and
parted in the middle. It's also a whole
new facial look, and she is "tres sexee."
What's next for the Duchess of York in
showbiz, well, we'll just have to wait
and see.
Aside to Kerry G. of Miami: You ask
why we don't see more pictures of the
stars' kids, e.g., you would love to see
Julia Roberts' twins Phin and Hazel.
Answer: They have good reason to
maintain their privacy and not flaunt
pics of the offspring, ever since way
back when the Lindbergh baby was
kidnapped.
And to Bertha J. of Santa Barbara.
Calif.: You ask why we don't see Paris.
Britney, Lindsay and the like presenting
at award shows. Good question. I'll try
to find the right answer, although I think
it's because they have never been award
winners. They have merely "'performed"
in private life.
BITS 'N' PIECES: Harrison Ford may
be a good actor, but he is certainly not a
good interview. Watching him on "The
Late Show" was dull. However, he still
brings in big bucksat the box office,
and that's what counts in the totaling up.
... Chris Pine back in Hollywood after
shooting in Philadelphia. And as far as I
know, there is no "numero uno femme"
in his life .... Did you know that Grace
Kelly and Ray Milland had a romping
affair before she met her "Monaco
Man"? ... And Warren Beatty and Joan
Collins had "a go-round" for a while ....
And finally, Alfred and Alma Hitchcock
once gave a dinner party where all the
food was dyed BLUE. I kid you not!

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) All that flat-
tery and fawning shouldn't affect any decision

if it gets uncomfortably personal.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your Bovine
instincts are on the mark about that "favor"
you' re being asked to do. Agree to nothing
tmless you get a full explanation -- which you

unsettled recent pefiod should give way to a
smoother time going through the week. Use
this quieter time to catch up on matters you
might have had to let slide.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Feeling a
little confused is understandable with all
those mixed messages. Take time to list the
questions you have. Then present them and
insist on answers that make sense.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Cupid can be
very helpful for Lions seeking a love con-
nection. The chubby cherub also brings warm
