Rumor has it that around the time of filming Charlie's
Angels, Lucy Liu of Ally McBeal set out with the lofty goal of
"landing" Matt Damon. Unconfirmed reports say she succeeded. Go
Ling!
2
Claire Danes is the 21-year-old actress best known from ABC's My
So-Called Life and, unfortunately, The Mod Squad. Her next big
role is as the object of Russell Crowe's affection in the Jodie Foster
flick Flora Plum. Russell! You stay away from her!
3 Winona
Ryder was our featured star last month. Since then, we hear she's dropped
Chris Noth and hooked up with alt-rock star Beck. Winona clearly loves
musicians... her resume now includes about half a dozen of 'em.
4 Penelope
Cruz is Matt's co-star in his new flick All The Pretty Horses.
5
Minnie Driver starred with Matt, both on and off-set, in Good Will
Hunting and they remained together for some time after.
6 Johnny
Depp is one of those names you'll always see on a list like this. Although
he's still young, his track record with young starlets will put him in the
Beatty-Nicholson hall of fame in a few years. However, his current state
of
domestic bliss is with Vanessa Paradis.
7 Stephan
Jenkins is the lead singer of the rock group Third Eye Blind.
8 Okay,
we don't mean to suggest that Josh Brolin and Barbra Streisand were
involved with each other, they weren't. The connection here is that Babs
is married to Josh's dad, James Brolin, making Streisand Minnie Driver's
stepmother-in-law if Minnie marries Josh. Got that?
9 One
of Hollywood's hottest young talents, Charlize Theron is in three new
movies opening this fall and is still going hot and heavy with Third Eye
Blind's Stephan Jenkins.
10 We
were pretty sure that Courteney Cox would end up settling down with
Michael Keaton, but that seems to be out of the question with her marriage
to David Arquette. But this is Hollywood, so we never say never.
11 As
we went to press, Meg Ryan was counter-suing for divorce shortly after
begging hubby Dennis Quaid for forgiveness following her three-month tryst
with Russell Crowe.
12
Kate Moss' rumored current companion is artist Jake Chapman, best known
for .... well, nothing really.
13 Adam
Duritz is the lead singer of San Francisco band Counting Crows. You'll
notice that he's had the privilege of dating both Courteney Cox and
Jennifer Aniston (one at a time, mind you).
14
After dating a Late Night staffer for quite some time, Conan
O'Brien became Friends with Lisa Kudrow, who introduced him to
Courteney Cox.
15 Anthony
Edwards and Meg Ryan met on the set of Top Gun and started a
relationship. These days, the ER star is happily settled with his
wife and two kids.
16Academy
Award winner Helen Hunt recently separated from hubby Hank Azaria.
17Sarah
Jessica Parker, the sassy star of the hit HBO series Sex and the City,
has succeeded in both the film and TV world, and in her own personal world
is happily married to actor Matthew Broderick.
18
Unless there's a flaw in the gene pool, we expect the children of
newlyweds Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston won't be wanting in the looks
department.
19
Gwyneth Paltrow and Ben Affleck co-starred in Shakespeare in Love
and are still in an on and off romance, but describe each other as
"good friends". Gwyneth was previously engaged to the newly wed
Brad Pitt and says in the September Vanity Fair that the breakup with Pitt
"broke her heart."
20 Michael
Jackson says his next album will be his last. The bad news is that he now
wants to act. His pet project, The Nightmare Of Edgar Allen Poe, in
which he'll play the lead (!), is now in search of a director. We hear
that Mikey's talking to Tim Burton. Funny, Tim Burton talking to someone
who's actually weirder than he is. Who'd a thunk?
