OK, I’ll Bite

I”d like to see what this guy used for a fishing pole. The people at Berkley Gulp! bait are banking that this new ad featuring professional fishermen in the buff will appeal to burly, beer guzzeling, sea lovers everywhere. Yeah, I can see that and no doubt Brokeback Bay won”t be far behind.

Weather sales for the organic product go up due to the attention grabbing ad remains to be seen, in the mean time it sure does make wrangeling worms seem a lot more appealing.

“WE’RE both blond and have the same shoe size, but I would never want to be her, although I owe her a lot. Before I played her, I felt like I was a blue-collar worker. Acting wasn’t fulfilling. Then she came along, and nothing has ever been the same” - Sharon Stone discussing her “Basic Instinct” character, Catherine Trammell, with Jeanne Wolf on movies.com.

Hollywood beauty Sharon Stone is glad to be single, after enduring countless relationships with “unbalanced” ex-boyfriends.

The Broken Flowers actress, 47, has been married and divorced three times, to Phil Bronstein, Michael Greenberg and George Englund JR.

Stone admits she tends to be romantically involved with troubled men and likens the male sex to “dogs”.

She says, “All the exes in my life either had an offbeat mother or underwent some kind of childhood crisis. They were unbalanced, looking for parental guidance and they see me as the mother figure.

“I think all men are dogs. I honestly do. You know every man starts barking sooner or later.

“At least my character in Basic Instinct has the good sense to kill men afterwards, so they won’t go around sprouting nonsense.”

TOMMY Lee nearly got duped into hooking up with a transsexual while partying in Toronto the other night.

The renowned babe-bagger was hanging out at the Ultra Supper Club when he called over he/she stunner Nina Arsenault, set her on his lap and shared a few shots of tequila. “She downed hers quickly, while, she reveals, he ‘gagged’ on his tequila,” writes Shinan Govani in Canada’s National Post. “She wasted no time, then, in calling him a ‘pussy.’ He apologized, telling her: ‘I’ve been drinking tequila since 7 a.m.’ . . .

Things were going just swimmingly, when somebody took it upon themselves to tell Lee’s bodyguard about the ‘Nip/Tuck’-ness of it all, and the bodyguard then whispered something in the star’s ear. ‘That’s when he took a good, long look at me,’ Nina recalls. A bucket of cold water seemed to come splashing down. ‘You know what? I’m dying for a cigarette,’ Lee was heard to say, as he got up from the table with his posse. ‘Great!’ said Nina, as she trailed behind them.” But when they approached the lounge, the paper reports, Lee’s bodyguard put up his hand and told Nina, “You’re not coming with us.”
