IS THAT SEAT TAKEN?
Filed Under: Quirk > Tom Cruise

When Tom Cruise’s people finished packing up his offices at Paramount, two interesting pieces of info leaked out. When he remodeled his office, Tom had a porthole cut into the wall so he could sit at his desk and enjoy the view of the Paramount Pictures water tower. Sometimes he occupied the offices day after day, and at other times he was gone for months. Since day one, he always had a standing order – when he returned, whether it was after a day or a month, he had to have a NEW toilet seat installed in his personal bathroom. We can’t help but wonder if anyone saved those stacks of nearly new toilet seats, and if they’ll be turning up on eBay.

SORRY SIR, THAT'S NOT ON THE MENU
Filed Under: Um... Wha?
This actor enjoys playing wise cracking heroes and cops and his characters are usually quick on the draw. Maybe that affinity for guns has carried over into his private life. The guy was dining alone at the fancy Belvedere restaurant in the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills. Out of the blue he turned to the waiter and said evenly “I need a gun.” The waiter gulped and the actor continued “Do you carry a gun? I need to borrow it right now!” The actor seemed agitated and the frightened waiter told him he didn’t have a gun. The server reported the conversation to the manager and the manager hastened to calm the actor down. The meal ended without incident, but the servers are still talking about the strange encounter.

CAN'T LET GO
Filed Under: Eva Mendes > Joaquin Pheonix

The TALK of fashion week in New York is not puff sleeves – it’s the apparent coupling of Eva Mendes and Joaquin Phoenix and their fervent denials. Not long ago they finished the movie “We Own the Night ” but can’t seem to let go of each other. Despite the fact that they have been seen together numerous times looking QUITE affectionate (including last Thursday according to Rush & Molloy,) Eva flatly denies a romance. She insists she still has her live-in boyfriend – a handsome film maker named George Gargurevich, but they are rarely seen out together. We sense the makings of a love triangle.
