...thankfully retired on Jan. 1, 2000.... Here's a rumor for you: Madonna, never very good at being subtle, wins coolness points for her antics on New Years Eve. At a party at Donatella Versace's in Miami, she and pal Gwyneth Paltrow were enjoying dinner when Jennifer Lopez and her posse decided to crash the festivities. Madonna, who's been dissed by Lopez in magazines, reportedly stood up and said "Dinner's over." And the dinner guests dispersed, leaving little Miss Puffy all by herself...I saw The End of the Affair last night and I'm convinced that...
...trouble began the day after Christmas when Combs and Lopez went to Club New York, a newly hot Times Square nightclub. Now Club New York isn't exactly a gangsta's paradise--PEOPLE magazine held its holiday party there. Nonetheless, around 2:50 a.m., shooting erupted and three patrons were wounded.

Another uncertainty: cops claim witnesses saw Combs with a gun; but since Lopez wasn't fingered by witnesses, why was she held? A source close to Lopez says the actress feels that "the way the police handled this was inappropriate. She could have been quickly cleared and released...
...also has to wonder how this will affect the Combs-Lopez romance. Lasting relationships are not usually built on dates that end in gunfire and group arrests. But the arrests shouldn't taint Lopez professionally. Says Variety editor Peter Bart: "So many actors today have such a bland demeanor. A slightly dangerous rep might help, or even enhance, her career." As for Combs, who has proclaimed his innocence, his latest CD, Forever, hasn't sold well, and these new legal hassles only add to his worries. Just last April, Combs was arrested for assaulting a record executive, a matter...
