Jay Leno Show...Helen Hunt a control freak! Snatches cue cards from host's hands!

Surf is up!

(so was Hunt's ire!)



Over the years, make-up and wardrobe personnel at the studios (and in the employ of Independent Film companies) have tittered that Oscar Award-Winning actress - Helen Hunt - was difficult to work with.

After Ms. Hunt's appearance on the Jay Leno Show last night - it was quite evident to the multitudes that the normally low-key movie star is not only a control freak - but an ill-mannered guest to contend with!

Bookers on the late-night circuit beware!

An old Chinese proverb says it all.

"Never insult a host in his own home."

If you want to be asked back, that is.

So, what was all the brouhaha about?

When the talented thespian (who has played opposite respected biggies in the industry like megastar Jack Nicholson) was asked to participate in a quiz about surfing, a short way into the upbeat segment - the pushy broad not only balked at some of the questions - but was inclined to snatch the cue cards right out of Jay's sweaty palm!

Mr. Leno reacted politely, in spite of her outrageous behavior, but was obviously startled by Hunt's insulting conduct and lack of sense of humor (judging by the expression on his face).

Hunt was on the top-rated talk show to tout her new feature which is about the gripping real-life tale of a female surfer (which has been adapted for the Silver Screen) who lost her arm in a shark attack.

Hunt, getting on in years, was cast to play the mother for obvious reasons.

Because the ultra thin (she was all bones if 'ya ask moi) actress boasted to be a surfer, Jay was posed a few questions - understandably so - in an amusing bold-faced effort to sort-out the lingo surfers often coolly spit out as they dart off to hang ten.

Ms. Hunt wasn't put off by the first expression "gnarly", but - not surprisingly- she didn't get it quite right.

When Jay offered up the next expression - "tubed" - she reacted suspiciously (just betcha, she thought she was going to be the brunt of some twisted on-camera joke).

At this juncture, the ice Queen not only went through the roof, but committed the unthinkable.

Uh-huh!

Hunt put a halt to this phase of the interview, and did so, without an apology.

Across the country, I expect viewers at home were screaming at their television sets.

"Bit**!"

And, how was your day?

Scandals...of the Privileged Few! A novel by Julian Ayrs! Serialized on forgus beylan!

COMING SOON!

"Scandals of the Privileged Few" is a novel by Julian Ayrs set in the picturesque climbs of San Francisco!

Julian's latest literary work (to be serialized each week at "forgus beylan" on the web) features a juicy plot sure to captivate the most intelligent discriminating fans of fiction.

Undoubtedly, avid readers will be titillated by the delicious cast of curious characters as their - sometimes tawdry, but always entertaining - stories unfold each week!

Robert Steele

A brash young attorney in his mid-thirties, with a flair for fashion (he despises dreaded umbrellas, though), Robert climbs (and beds) his way to the top of the conniving back-stabbing legal profession on the treacherous West Coast without looking back (or having any regrets).

Danny Bloomer

A self-styled bisexual with a passion (and weakness) for blonds in faded blue jeans.

Unfortunately, the talented auteur is always a scant heartbeat from the memory of a former lover (who departed from this mortal coil too soon) which may be his undoing.

Melony Vanderbilt Kidd ("Butch")

Even by her own standards, "Butch" is a "walking cliche", alright!

Strong-willed and defiant - the privileged kid from the right side of the tracks - is an endearing "misfit" with a special knack for weaseling her way into the private incestuous lives of the high-and-mighty.

Next to her skillfully penned "Memoires", Andy Warhol was a slouch in the literary department!

Candace Whitney

A classy dame who gravitates to fame and fortune like moth to flame.

Ms. Whitney is the ultimate social butterfly (with bags of loot to boot) adept at flitting about the tony environs of the elite uppercrust - with no door unopened or key unlocked - if she had her druthers.

But, a mysterious past lurks on the horizon, sure to knock her flat on her pretty ass if she's not more forgiving or discreet in the future.

Brad Butler II

This dreamy blue-eyed surfer dude pines for Mr. Right. 

And, he has all the prerequisites to lure the bait, you betcha!

But, will his naivete be his downfall - ultimately - in the sleazy down-and-out cut-throat underbelly of debauched Tinsel Town?

The Contessa

The Royal is rumored to own the Villa at 88 Stone Canyon Trail on Cypress Ridge. 

But, the tongues really wagged one fateful evening recently, when it is was revealed that the elusive beauty was once the lesbian lipstick lover of sultry screen siren Greta Garbo!

Stay posted for Chapter One!

Ryan Seacrest...head-over-heels in love? Wedding bells!

Between the sheets with Ryan!



A columnist gushed bright-and-early this morning in the San Francisco Examiner that Ryan Seacrest is head-over-heels in love with Julianne Hough.

In fact, the gossip-monger is wagging her tongue to all within earshot that the hostest-with-the-mostest is ready to trot down the aisle!

Well, spring is inclined to rustle up the passions when it comes to lovebirds, 'ya know!

With all the big bucks the lad has been raking in of late, he sure can afford to splurge on some mighty dazzling bling for a lucky bodacious babe waiting in the wings!

Just maybe, all the hype-and-hoopla over the Royal Wedding, has Ryan pining to be betrothed to someone special, too.

Insiders close to the perky celeb titter that they've never seen Seacrest do handstands like this - round a sexy pretty dish - before!

Like coke, maybe it's the real thing?

Of late, Seacrest has been dressing awfully spiffy on - "American Idol" - often turning-out in dapper designer suits, spruced up with chic elegant accessories, and a "do" that has been giving Justin Bieber a run for-his-money, too.

Actually, the quirky Disc Jockey made my Best-Dressed list for 2010.

Ryan is also a friend on "MySpace".

Maybe I should just zip off a tweet and scoop up the exclusive?

Needless to say, I'll be dashing to the mailbox in search of an invite to the wedding, over the next few weeks.

Handsome is as handsome does!

Lindsay Lohan...crash lands SUV! Life's a beach!

The door became unhinged, I guess!

Though Lindsay Lohan has escaped the mean streets of LA LA LAND to tony climbs at a picturesque beach temporarily - it doesn't appear that the infamous recovering bimbo babe isn't out of harm's way - by a long shot! 

Go figure!

Taken aback by a posse of paparazz lolling about (LOL) on the well-manicured walkwayy outside her spanking-new digs - the dizzy starlet was inclined to shift into drive-by mode - to effect a mad dash for the open door of the garage on the lower level of the upscale condo unit.

What was intended to be a smooth maneuver - to avoid the prying press - ended up a comedy of errors.

Within minutes of cruising inside the garage (while the wheels were still smoking, dudes) the door tumbled down out-of-control (much like Ms. Lohan on a starry drug-laced Hollywood night) and smashed into the roof of the $130,000.00 SUV just "gifted" her.

Then - Eureka! - the door bounced up-and down-again without any rhyme or reason.

Uh-huh!

The loopy landing was all caught on camera- natch- by a TMZ photog who was on-the-ball.

Golly, those roving gossip mongers over at Harv's must have horseshoes up the a**, eh?

Talk about a scoop!

If it's any consolation to Lindsay, there wasn't one ghastly cactus bush in the vicinity to fall into!

But, the whole hilarious scenario begs the question.

Did the "Mean Girls" star fall off-the-wagon or is she just a lousy driver?

Charlie Sheen...drunk or suffering adverse drug reaction? Hotel trashed!

 

Charlie in less-complicated days!

Depending on which news report you catch on the wire or over the Internet, Charlie Sheen was hospitalized earlier today in New York City, due to either an unfortunate adverse drug reaction - or, dramatic drum roll, please - due to excessive binge drinking that left the TV comedy star incoherent.

As tawdry details about the shocking incident filtered out from the Plaza Hotel, and the local Police, tabloid shows and gossips alike were inclined to titter that Sheen fell down and went boom in a big way in the big apple.

New York newsies reported Sheen was spied with an unidentified woman and found drunk and naked in a trashed hotel room after a night of wild partying.

Though rowdy, the sexy romp remained violence-free throughout the festive night at the Plaza Hotel,, until Mr. Sheen allegedly discovered that his wallet was missing.

At this point, all hell broke out.

When Police responded to a call from hotel staff - the  "Two and a Half Men" star - was intoxicated and incoherent.

According to the men-in-blue, Sheen voluntarily agreed to go to the hospital without resistance.

Sheen's publicist - Stan Rosenfield - asserted in a terse prepared statement earlier today that the actor had simply reacted badly to an unspecified medication.

"What we are able to determine is that Charlie had an adverse allergic reaction to some medication and was taken to the hospital, where he is expected to be released tomorrow," Rosenfield summed  up on a positive note.

No arrests were made and no criminal charges are expected.
