HOW TO PLAY...
Three of the gossip items in the Mike Walker Game are TRUE. See
how celebrity savvy you are by figuring out which item is definitely FALSE.
When famed Avon makeup guru JILL FINK discovered her $350-a-jar moisturizer cream kept getting mysteriously depleted, she suspected mischievous elves -- or hubby PATRICK DEMPSEY! After catching McDreamy in the act of schmearing the goop on his kisser Jill sighed to pals, “He’s hooked on the stuff”-- and now she orders two pots at a time!
Talk about turning a sow’s purse into a silk ear! Smokin’ hot funnygal/producer TINA FEY -- who’s no sow, but did have a designer purse she’d stashed under her seat when she charged onstage to snag her “30 Rock” Emmys – was horrified to discover some thieving creep had stolen it! Here’s my “silk ear” payoff: When Tina mentioned the theft to American Express execs, who often feature her in their ads, they instantly made a deal to star her in a new commercial focusing on her real-life purse loss and how -- because she's a member – AMEX instantly canceled her old card and issued her a new one with just ONE phone call! (Tina, you “30 ROCK!”)
Even hardened Hollywood-ites are astounded by JEREMY PIVEN’s legendary arrogance, but just days before winning his Emmy, the “Entourage” star snagged the Snotty Smartass Award at swanky Barrel Malibu wine bar -- going all divo and making a big stink when they refused to let him light up a stinky stogie! My Spywitness reports that after being told by the joint’s sommelier that (1) it’s against California law to smoke indoors, and (2) customers want to sniff the bouquet of their expensive wines, not smelly cigar fumes – Piven sneered: “What if I was to tell you I'm personal friends with the owner?” Pointing to the joint’s three owners sitting nearby, the sommelier snapped: “Then I'd say you're a liar. Look, they don’t want you smoking in here, the customers don’t – and I don’t. But you can smoke on the outside patio.” Not letting it go, Piven challenged: “Yeah, so what will happen if I do light up?” Said the sommelier: “We’ll call the police, and you’ll pay a fine.” Laughing nastily as patrons gaped, Piven blustered: “Seriously? That's all you can do? That's all that can happen?” But when he acted like he was actually about to fire up, the sommelier – well-known locally as a martial artist --quickly warned: “That…AND you'll be on the business end of my fist, buddy!” Instantly, Piven piped down, pouted for a minute – then pranced petulantly to the patio and puffed on his precious cigar.
LISA RINNA, who always arrives five minutes after her lalapalooza lips, hit the Emmys sporting a stylish white gown, but as she strutted her stuff on the red carpet in the hot sun, she began to MELT like the Wicked Witch! Eyewitnesses gasped and pointed at mysterious skin-colored streaks radiating down her bosom as Rinna raced into the Nokia Theater and started screaming into her cell phone, begging somebody to bring her a new dress STAT because "boob sweat" had melted her newly applied spray tan and orange streaks had fried her frock.
