HOLLYWOOD ... Not everyone knew
too much about Tom Sizemore. He was in
"Devil in a Blue Dress," "Natural Born Kill-
ers," "Wyatt Earp," and several other mov-
ies. On TV, he was in "China Beach." And
now he" s in Paramount Pictures' "The Relic"
with Penelope Ann Miller.
BUT. When he was arrested
and jailed in West Hollywood
for spousal abuse, and then re-
leased on $50,000 bail, his name
rang out loud and clear on TV,
radio and in print. Now every-
b(v,.l y knows whoTom Sizemore
is and even though the publicity
was bad, Paramount is reaping
the benefits with big bucks at
the box office.
Aside to Audrey S. of
Butte, Montana: Yours is a dif-
ficult question. It's hard to tell
about the on-again, off-again
romances of the younger stars,
because they keep very much to
themselves and don't make
those public appearances like the "glamour
kids" of yore. As far as I know, Sandra
Bullock and Matthew McConnaughey are
still together. As for marriage plans, I'm sure
your guess is as good as mine. Their agents
aren't talking, their publicists aren't talking
and THEY aren't talking! And believe me.
I'VE ASKED!
How many femmes admit to being 65?
Elizabeth Taylor not only admitted, but as
you know, celebrated nationwide. And yes.
Of course, there have been nips and tucks to
take away the ravages of time. Matter of fact,
it was told to me that one facial surgeon was
l(nown to say he was petrified about working
on one of the most beautiful faces in the
world. He has done an excellent job. Happy
belated birthday to Elizabeth Taylor Hilton
Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Warner Burton
Fortensky. (I'm not sure that's the proper
order, but they're all there!)
LOTSA' BITS 'N' PIECES: Stood
next to Sally Kellerman while paying for a
hyacinth plant at Mordigan's Nursery.
Looked like she was getting ready for some
serious gardening, what with all the gardenia
bushes, ferns, and etc., she was buying. And
speaking of looks, the lady looked just great.
Glowing skin, trim figure and a great smile ...
Add the late Sheldon Leonard's name to the list
ofshowbiz folk who' ve earned a Phi Beta Kappa
key ... Drew Barrymore isn't
the only thespian offspring of
the late, great acting clan. Her
half-brother John Barrymore III
has several TV and movie cred-
its. Hopefully, his career will
take off too ... Romantic song-
ster Clay Crosby's debut album
is titled "Moonburn _ Songs of
the 1930s Movie Crooners."
Crosby has been appearing at
the Gardenia Restaurant and
Lounge in Hollywood... When-
ever I see something wonderful
by or about Steven Spielberg, I
think back to 1976 when I was
President of the Hollywood
Women's Press Club. He had
just completed "Jaws." He was
guest speaker at a luncheon and sat on my right.
He was a very nervous young tyro then and when
the time came for him to get up and speak, he'd
bitten his nails to the quick. We're all very proud
of Steven's magnificent body of work, but also
for his many charitable generosities ... Wanna
bet there will be a movie or a miniseries about the
murder of a child beauty queen sooner than you
can blink?... Nobody works harder at promot-
ing a pic or TV pic than Tom Selleck. After
weeks of talking about "Saber River," he's
back in New York winding "In and Out" with
Kevin Kline. Then it's back to the ranch for a
while with Jillie and Hannah ... And a farewell
to my colleague, Theo Wilson, one of the great
court reporters. Theo's book, "Headline Jus-
tice: Inside the Courtroom _ The Country's
Most Controversial Trials," had just hit the
stalls. After 10 years of working on it, she was
scheduled for book signings, parties and inter-
views. It was to be wonderful. Instead, the night
she was to appear with Tom Snyder, she com-
plained of feelingill, was i'ushed to the hospital
where she died of a cerebral hemorrhage. We'll
miss you, Theo.

Q. Our family has been
praying for the Bill Cosby
family over the tragic mur-
der of their son, Ennis.
In talking about the
Cosbys, one of my neph-
ews said he believes Bill
has a daughter who was
married or engaged to the
fighter, Mike Tyson. Is this
true? And if, so, why
hasn't there been any men-
tion of it in the press?
Jacklyn B.
A. One of Bill's daugh-
ters had reportedly told her
father that Tyson had come
on to her, and when she re-
sisted, he persisted. She fi-
nally got away from him.
How Bill handled his
daughter's complaint
against Iron Mike was never
completely reported. How-
ever, I understand from
sources that Mike got the
message !
That is about as close as
any of the Cosby daughters
has ever gotten to Mike Tyson.
Q. A few weeks ago, I
saw a movie called
"Hairspray" and I swear,
the young girl who starred
in it was credited as Ricki
Lake. She was very heavy,
but there was a resem-
blance. Was it the same
girl? Dina H.
A. It was. That was Ricki
in her rather heavy years.
She had had a weight prob-
lem since childhood, and to
her credit, she worked hard
to bring her weight down.
She continued to watch her
weight even during her preg-
nancy. She says she intends
to make sure no ounce of fat
that wasn't there before the
baby was conceived, will
stay on after the baby is de-
livered.
Incidentally, the part of
the warm, wonderful _ and
quite heavy _ mother in
"Hairspray" was played by
the very talented Divine, one
of the great female imper-
sonators. He once said, "I
love women and when I play
a woman, I do it with re-
spect and affection."
Q. Is Stacey Keach
married to Jane Seymour?
I say he isn't, but my sister
is willing to bet that he is.
Please answer this letter if
you can. Carolanne A.
A. You haven't said what
the terms of the bet are.
Please write back and let
me know. Meanwhile, pre-
pare to collect because you
win. Seymour ("Dr. Quinn:
Medicine Woman") is mar-
ried to Stacey's brother,
James.
Q. I was really moved
by the movie, "Dead Man
Walking" with Susan
Sarandon. Is she related
to the actor, Christopher
Saradon? Also, is it true
there'll be a sequel to the
movie? Glenna G.
A. Susan is the ex-wife
of actor Chris Sarandon.
There is no definite word
on a follow-up film.
Q. Is the country star
Shania Twain related to
the writer, Mark Twain?
Patricia L.
A. Probably not. Re-
member, Twain is a pen
name for the author whose
real name is Samuel
Clemens.
Q. I know that Rosie
O'Donnell has a young
son. However, I'm curi-
ous about something. Who
is the father of the boy?
Rosie never talks about a
daddy. Liz C.
A. Rosie's son, Parker,
is adopted. Rosie has said
that when she reached a cer-
tain age, she realized she
really wanted to be a mother.
Thus, son Parker came into
her life. However, don't
look for Parker to make an
appearance on Morn' s show
anytime soon. Rosie prefers
her son stay out of the lime-
light for now.
