Scoop for the Week of April 21st

Then the two got into what was later called a "spirited argument." No matter how you try to sugar coat it, all the other actors--including fellow Angels Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz--fled for their trailers. And production was even shut down for the rest of the day! Shooting didn't resume until the next day after Lucy, Drew and Cameron met with Bill and the director to patch things up. Wonder what Charlie has to say about all this?

She's Hanging Up Diane Keaton (her ex-hubby, Al Pacino's, on this week's birthday list) stars with Meg Ryan, Lisa Kudrow and Walter Matthau in Hanging Up. But she's still hung up on another actor stealing her name. See, she was originally born Diane Hall. When she started out in the business, though, there was already an actress with that name. So she changed her last name to Keaton. Then came Michael Douglas. No, not the Michael Douglas you know that's engaged to Catherine Zeta Jones. This Michael Douglas became Michael Keaton--yes, Batman. Confused yet? Diane says he liked her last name so he took it. That's what he told her in a phone conversation anyway. Makes you wonder how something can be stolen that's not really yours.

She's Baaaack Just when you thought we'd finally gotten rid of her, Jenny McCarthy's making her way back to television. She was the co-host of MTV's Singled Out. Then, back in 1997, her self-titled sitcom--Jenny--was pulled by NBC after 10 of 17 episodes aired. But now 20th Century Fox Television has signed her to a not-yet-titled series pilot. Don't look for a naturally blonde Jen, though. In Gwyneth Paltrow-like fashion, she's sporting a new brunette do. Jenny will play one of three 20-something friends ... and that's pretty much the basis of the show. Sounds like another Friends, sans talent.

Birthday Trivia: She was born in Decatur, GA, and is best known for her five years on this hit show where she played the likes of Tammy Faye Bakker, Hilary Clinton, Sally Jesse Raphael and even Ivana Trump. She went on to another hit show where she played the little sister of a former cast member, and getting good use of her southern accent. Who is this birthday girl?
