...record, he is back together with his second ex-wife, the actress Lauren Holly. Their divorce, and her rumored affair with actor-director Edward Burns, made Carrey tabloid fodder--fishbowl living being another level on which he can relate to Truman Burbank. "I got in a fender bender on Sunset, and before I knew it there were paparazzi, because someone used his cell phone and made 300 bucks." He worries about media snoops planting recording devices in his hotel rooms--"So then you can't masturbate"--and worse. "Am I going to be combing my beard some day," he wonders...

In a series of interviews with the TV tabloid show American Journal, Steve said he cried often during this period and his children were confused and devastated...
...trucks. It was an embarrassing black eye for the new program, but it prompted NBC to bring in a fresh executive producer, Neal Shapiro, who put the show on a winning road. Dateline spun stories off the day's news more often than its rivals (particularly on high-impact tabloid stories like O.J.
