At a bookstore in Century City, Calif., recently, Drew Barrymore was signing copies of Riding in Cars with Boys—on which her new movie is based—when one fan placed a copy of Guinness World Records in front of the actress. Barrymore looked up and discovered that the prankster was comedian hubby Tom Green. "If I were in this book," he commented, "I'd be listed under Biggest Idiot."
One of the highlights of Bruce Willis's film Bandits is the dinner-table scene in which he appears with two of his three daughters, Scout, 10, and Tallulah, 7. Willis mentioned to director Barry Levinson that he wanted to put the girls in the movie when their mom, Demi Moore, brought them to the set in Portland, Ore., last fall. The proud dad let on that Scout could belch with the best of them—on cue, no less. So she did, while Moore watched the action from a monitor in another room. Oldest daughter Rumer, 13, appeared as Moore's child in 1996's Striptease.
To research playing strippers in Dancing at the Blue Iguana, Daryl Hannah, Jennifer Tilly and Kristin Bauer got down to the bare essentials. While Tilly and Bauer attended "stripper school" for three months at one Los Angeles exotic-dance club, Hannah was hanging out backstage at another club, Crazy Girls, almost every night until 3 a.m. When it came time to strut their stuff for real, the trio went to Crazy Girls one night, with Hannah donning a black wig. Each came away with close to $50 in tips.
At an Art Heals auction to benefit Sept. 11 victims, Sela Ward paid $4,250 for a painting of the American flag, but she would have paid a lot less if it weren't for her Once and Again husband, Billy Campbell. Unbeknownst to Ward, Campbell was standing right behind her, topping each of her bids. She was shocked to finally turn around and see who the competition was. Mean-while, Meredith Deane, 12, who plays Ward's daughter Zoe on the show, raised $400 for the Cantor Fitzgerald relief fund by setting up a lemonade stand (built by the show's set-construction crew) near the Santa Monica home of her parents, who matched her take. They lost a family friend who worked in the World Trade Center at Cantor Fitzgerald, a financial-services firm.
