''Have You Heard The One About....'' Part 2

Hollywood, being Hollywood, attracts the glamour and excitement of dreams coming true. That is why we, as a public, foster our attention on Tinseltown. We have unfulfilled dreams of being a big-shot, of everybody knowing us, and, having fabulous wealth and power. If we cannot achieve this dream, we follow the stars whom seem to have the most in common with us. Also, the stars we lust after. There are different configurations about following the goings on about show business. We are interested. Therefore, we should also be interested in Hollywood gossip and lore. Here are a few famous stories about the original Sin City. As always, I must state these stories are rumor, not fact. So, the words ''apparently'' and ''allegedly'' must always be around the following tales...... Rod Stewart likes bachelor parties. Yes, this story has been making the rounds since the 70's. It seems like Rod, a known ladies man, was attending a party thrown in someone's honor. A bachelor party. Now, as we all know, bachelor parties are attended by men, with an occasional visit or two by some strippers and, in some cases, women of a ''scarlet nature''. Ok. Dirty dealings abound. No surprise there. But, in this story it seems like more happened and Ole Rodney Stewart was the center of attention. What happened? Well, according to legend, Rod ''serviced'' most of the males at this party orally. Or, in street slang, he sucked off the whole crowd. Yes, not only are you in Mr. Stewart's heart and soul, but, also his stomach. The story continued with him being rushed to the emergency room and having his stomach pumped, where the huge amount of semen was said to be found. Now, Rod has always denied this story for years, since it has become almost a Rock and Roll Royalty Tale. He has joked and addressed it as a bullshit rumor. It probably is not true. He is a notorious ladies man who has had a penchant for stunning blonde woman. But, anything is possible. As a side note, this story about blowing guys at bachelor parties seems generational. Whomever is the hot male star music star in a decade seems to have this story sticking to him, so to speak. I have also heard this about Elton John [ which may have happened because of his notorious lust for men in the 70's], Jon Bon Jovi, and David Bowie. One last thing, a female has not-too-long-ago entered the ranks of the alleged stomach pumpers: Britney Spears. With her inclusion, the story is now shooting down the throat of the fairer sex. Its nice that we are growing in society that we can slander both sexes........ Speaking of David Bowie. A story about him is just as popular as the bachelor story. In the 1970's David was married to a stunning model named Angela Bowie. In show business language, the word ''stunning'' usually means that no one in the outside world finds this person attractive except for the fashion industry. At this time, David, also, was a bisexual. He publicly stated his preference for both males and females. And, he was very loose with his ass, sleeping with anyone, male or female, that came in his eyesight. So, as the story goes, Angela, or Angie, comes home to the house she shared with David. And, whom does she find curled up in bed naked with him? Why, Mick Jagger!!! Apparently, these two friends were more than friends, according to her. However long this may or may not have gone on is unknown, but, according to Angela, when she and David divorced, they had it in their divorce decree that for ten years she would not tell any tales about their life together, nor would he. Both sides went along with this silence for the ten years. As soon as the gag order was lifted, Angela spilled the beans about Jumpin Jack Flash and Major Tom. The strange thing is both Mick and David have never laughed off the story or denied it. Its possible it may be true. Angela Bowie claims the famous Stones song, ''Angie'' is about her and Mick's longing for her....... Tom Cruise loves auditions. Now, its almost too easy to write about the weird antics of this weasel. A cottage industry seems to have developed about Mr. Top Gun and his sexual leanings and bizarre behavior. A few years ago, he ''married'' the very cute Katie Holmes, a young, naïve girl many years his junior. Nothing new there, Hollywood loves to play the age thing. In a refreshing twist of switching, older women are jumping all over younger man [ I am a VERY BIG fan of cougars!]. Anyway, back to Tommy, because of his notorious bizarre behavior--- and the endless stories about his closet gay lifestyle--- his handlers have been scrambling for years to cover his escapades with pairing him up with various women. The marriages of Mimi Rogers and Nicole Kidman have been open debate for the gossip industry. Both seemed to sign on the dotted line with his management to go along with the charade of marriage with him so they could advance their careers. So, after these two marriages came to a shocking ending of divorce, Mr. Save The World went after another wife. Apparently, because the public is not being fooled by all of this, Tom Cruise found this mission impossible to find another actress to take his hand in matrimony. What does he do? Well, he turns to the Church of Scientology to help him audition actresses to play Mrs. Tom Cruise. Yes, just like when you audition for a play or movie role, actresses, young and naïve, were sent to the Church and met with the heads of this organization. When they passed muster with these refugees from the cast of ''Rosemary's Baby'', they were sent to Tom, where he interviewed them and weeded out the bad candidates [ these must have been the women with dignity and minds of their own to think]. Among the actresses brought in were: Jennifer Garner, Scarlett Johanson, Jessica Alba, and Katie Holmes. Finally, he selected Katie to fall in love with and live in a blissful state. They even ''conceived'' a child, which further gives credence to the Rosemary's Baby analogy. After a few years of the perfect couple, alas, this third trip down the aisle did not last. The public was not fooled, of course. But, it became a bitter divorce, which must have stunned Tom and his Cult Of The Damned. Katie went on her way and is raising the child pretty much on her own, a wise move. But, this story about the auditioning seems to have the most legs in terms of currency.......... Natalie Wood was a star we remember quite fondly. From her career as a child star to her adult roles, and, finally, to her mysterious [and, still unsolved] death in 1981 at the age of 42, Natalie still has a lot of people who still follow the flame of her memory. Her private life was quite active, with many men in and out of her life. But, there is a story, a horrible story, about how she lost her virginity at the age of 16. She was raped by an older man. A famous actor. One of the biggest actors in movie history. This man, apparently, seduced her against her wishes as a teenager, getting her drunk and finally, well, it is stated above what happened. Because this actor was so famous--- and powerful-- he was able to skate any kind of prosecution for his dastardly deeds. Natalie's account seems to be strong in reality. She did not make the story up, by most accounts. The name of the famous actor is well-known throughout the years in the Hollywood culture. Natalie never publicly announced whom he is but most insiders there are aware of his identity. Lana Wood, Natalie's sister, has said she will announce his name when the veteran actor dies. He is still among the living. The actor is believed to be Kirk Douglas...... So, those a few more stories about Hollywood. I posted one blog about a year ago with different stories. I will post more in the months ahead. Perhaps, you have heard some of these tales, maybe, in other forms with other names attached to them. Let me state again that these are rumors, not fact. Well, some are but I have to say this to be fair and to save my ass in court. Rumors, folks......... Perhaps........
