Out Of The Closet: British pop singer
Sir Elton John is selling off 20,000 items of his
clothing for charity. John has become almost as famous
for his outrageous outfits and spending binges as for his
music. The doors to his temporary shop in London opened
on Wednesday, Nov 29th to raise money for AIDS research.
"You can buy as much as you want, but the price is
set -- there'll be no haggling," says the singer's
spokeswoman, Petra Walton. All of the items are priced
below their purchase value, with some selling for as
little as five percent of their original value. Gee, I
wonder how much that $70,000 silver suit and massive wig
he wore to his 50th birthday party three years ago is
going to be? I mean, that's not too outlandish to wear
around the office is it? For more on Elton's Aids charity

Sign Of The Times: Actor John Stamos
of "Full House" fame has paid some $30,000 in
an online auction for a giant "Disneyland"
sign. The auction was held on the newly constructed Walt
Disney Co. page of Ebay. According to the report, Stamos
plans to display only the "D" portion of the
sign in a party barn he plans to construct at his Santa
Monica, CA, ranch and will put the rest of the letters in
storage. Now maybe Michael Jackson can get that authentic
Peter Pan he's had his eye on. Oh wait, that's not a
statue, that's a guy in a costume! For more official

I Want A New Drug: Actor Robert
Downey Jr., who was just released from prison three
months ago, faces more legal troubles for alleged drug
abuse. Downey was bailed out early Sunday, Nov. 26th for
$15,000, after police in Palm Springs arrested him late
the night before and charged him with possession of
cocaine and methamphetamine. Officers responded to an
anonymous 911 call at around 9 p.m. that indicated there
were drugs and guns in a hotel room at the Merv Griffin
Resort. When police arrived, they found Downey alone in
the room with the drugs and was arrested without
incident. Well, he's first on my list for Death Pool
2001. For more info on the cast of Ally Mcbeal visit www.allymcbeal.com
Santa
Baby: 70-year old actress Eartha Kitt has
completed her 20 city tour encompassing the country as
the Wicked Witch in The Wizard of Oz. She is now
currently touring the country in "Rogers &
Hammersteins Cinderella." Batman's infamous Catwoman
is still HOTter than ever. Now in her fifth decade of
making men nervous, Eartha Kitt still electrifies
audiences with her one-of-a-kind persona. She is at her
best while peppering her flirty sets with gold-digging
songs about champagne, stretch limos and pearls. Funny, I
thought Madonna invented that? For her tour schedule
