...Weird-Looking Guy with Gorgeous Model" celebrity- romance competition, but a rumored new matchup could top them all. The hot gossip out of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, last week was that GENE SPERLING, former director of the National Economic Council, is something of an item with supermodel NAOMI CAMPBELL.

Lately denials have been flying all over Hollywood. Warner Bros. Pictures denied that (contrary to a New York Post item) Marilyn Manson had been cast in the upcoming kiddie flick "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." The two actors' unions, SAG and AFTRA, denied that they are at war with each other.
