...clearly never seen St. Elmo's Fire; then again, he was 7 when it came out, and it is rated R. But maybe he could use the guidance of an older woman. Lately he and Diddy have been referring to themselves as the newest version of the legendary Rat Pack. Moore, who was a founding member of the mid-'80s Brat Pack--which included such early bloomers as ANDREW MCCARTHY and ALLY SHEEDY--might want to point out that that isn't necessarily the greatest career move...
