...verrrry interesting. One of these days, I'll divulge... If 28 Days, Sandra Bullock's next movie, flops, she's gonna have to either a) do another Speed sequel, b) go to acting school or c) start doing infomercials... I think I'm the only one who thinks Whoopi Goldberg is a better Oscar host than Billy Crystal. Billy is nice and safe, but Whoopi was 100 percent grade-A raunch. After Vanessa Williams sang the hit song from Pocohontas, she wondered aloud about the color of her own "wind." And when she tackled Showgirls, she was just asking...
...benevolence, is hard at work on granting us the latter. The producers of next year's Academy Awards show, husband-and-wife team Lili and Richard Zanuck, made a public plea this month to intermittent emcee BILLY CRYSTAL, who last year ceded the hosting duties to Whoopi Goldberg. "It's the one thing people agree on--they all want Billy," said Lili (kindly refraining from adding, "just not in any more of those City Slickers movies").

...houses, Almodovar, 48, is a reliable moneymaker. He also makes the kind of bright, saucy films Hollywood wishes it could. So the studios have courted him ever since his 1988 hit Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown.

But though he hopes to make a film soon in Florida, based on Pete Dexter's novel The Paperboy, Almodovar's roots are deep...
...Hard truths: Planet Hollywood stock, which sat at $24 shortly after going public in 1997, is now at 19 cents (yes, cents). Founding partners Arnold, Bruce, Demi, Sly and Whoopi aren?t exactly the hip-kid draws they were at the turn of the decade. And almost any operation that in seven years opens more than 80 restaurants (including ones in Bangkok and Dubai) is bound to have growing pains; PH?s latest was a $228 million loss for the quarter that ended in December 1998. Despite Earl?s rote assertion that "Today is the first step in our plan...
...dying Caesar's ear, "Say, 'Et tu, Brute?'" So it's nice that Vilanch, a wide guy with a blond mop that makes him look like an obscene Senor Wences puppet, is now (as one of his 1,500 T shirts reads) ALMOST FAMOUS, camping it up with Whoopi on the syndicated hit Hollywood Squares, for which he also serves as head writer...
