HERO? WE THINK NOT
Filed Under: Tom Cruise
An open message to Tom Cruise’s publicist: Enough with the trumped up hero stories! Since when did it become an act of heroism to stop and check on people who’ve just had an auto accident? It’s common, decent behavior and other people do it every day without seeking praise. It seems like every time Tom turns around he’s “rescuing” someone when it’s simply an act of good manners. And SOMEONE close to him always trumpets it to the press. Hero, schmero. Remember, this is the same guy who wouldn’t allow construction workers at his own house to look him in the eye.

NOT AS SWEET AS HE LOOKS
Filed Under: Attitude > Dr? Phil
“In real life, Dr. Phil is NOT the compassionate sensitive man you see on TV!” So says an insider who was present for his son Jay McGraw’s wedding to playmate Erica Dahm. “Phil is turning his son’s wedding into a TV show and he walked around with cameras filming the rehearsal dinner and wedding preparations etc. ( Doesn’t that mean the wedding is a total write-off?) Phil micromanaged every detail of the event. He butted into everyone’s work to interview them – about the flowers, lighting, music, decor, food, etc – it was like a giant commercial. And he wasn’t charming about it. ”
“Phil made comments about all the wedding details but ne never complimented or thanked anyone or acknowledged their work in a nice way.”
“And during the wedding festivities Phil was a big HAM and repeatedly stood up and made corny speeches.” Said our snitch. “His manners are brusque – during the reheasal dinner at Republic he impatiently ”dismissed” hovering waiters. And he doesn’t watch HIS diet – he requested bowls of mac and cheese on the table. The surprised wedding guests all had to surrender their cameras at the reception at the Beverly Hills Hotel. Is Phil selling the photos?
The parting gift for guests was not from Tiffany’s – it was a little set of measuring spoons with each inscribed with corny things like “a pinch of love.”
One more reason for Oprah NOT to show up!

WHAT WOULD HER MODELS THINK?
Filed Under: Janice Dickinson
Janice Dickinson still knows how to have a good time – and for that, we gossip writers have to thank her. The reality star of The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency appeared at On The Rox to see the ban Shaban last week. She obviously had eyes for a bandmember and hung with the group before they performed, downing tequila shots one after another. Our observer lost count after six or seven. At one point she announced to a server “I don’t pay for ANYTHING!” and continued to drink, presumably as a guest of the band. While Shaban performed, Janice sat at the bar and threw olives and cherries and limes at them, laughing raucously. She became slurry and loose limbed and had to hold onto the bar for support. At one point she flashed her bra at the band. Finally, she slumped into a stupor, and the long haired lead singer carried her out at 1 AM.
