In The Nutty Professor, Eddie Murphy's 400-pound scientist discovers a secret potion that transforms him—temporarily—into a svelte Casanova. So if Jada Pinkett, who plays Eddie's love interest, could quaff a magic elixir, what would she change about herself? "Actually, I'd probably add a few pounds," says Pinkett, 25, who is 5 feet tall. "I weigh 100 pounds even, and I'd like to be about 112." Reminded that plenty of high-caloric grub is already available at any supermarket, she says, "I know, but I'll wait. My metabolism will slow down when I'm about 30 or 31, and that's when I'm really gonna bloom! That's when my mother got her hips, her thighs, that really curvy, sensual flesh thing happening. That's why I'm not rushing it—because it's going to come at a great time. I'm gonna have my second round of womanhood, and everybody's gonna get all excited: 'Ooooh! Have you seen Jada lately? She got a bigger A Jada Pinkett: chest and a butt so wide! Butting out? Ummm-hummm!' "
LICENTIOUS BEHAVIOR
Michael Keaton met himself coming and going in the new comedy, Multiplicity, in which he plays a harried businessman who tries to solve his chronic overscheduling problem by cloning himself. "Even I was getting a little sick of myself," says Keaton, 44, of his four incarnations. "One day I had 16 costume changes." Would he like to be cloned in real life? "Who wouldn't? I'd send my clone to the DMV for driver's license renewals, which is always very time-consuming. And maybe he'd look better in the photo, too."
DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR SILVER
Actor Dolph Lundgren's next role will be at the Olympics as the non-competing leader of the U.S. pentathlon team. The Rocky IV star got into the five-sport event while training for 1995's Pentathlon. "Very grueling," says Lundgren, 37, of the one-day event on July 30. "It starts around 7 a.m. with pistol shooting. Then epee dueling, swimming 300 meters and equestrian show-jumping. Last is a 4,000-meter, cross-country run." When's lunch? "Lunch is some old sandwich on the bus," says Lundgren. It could be worse: "Pentathlon was a warrior's sport in the ancient Olympics. It included wrestling to [near] death, which must have been the last event. I guess they saved a few bucks since they didn't need any silver medals."
WHERE THE BOYS ARE
In the last year, Margaret Colin has worked with some of the most appealing guys in movies. She plays Harrison Ford's wife in Devil's Own, which costars Brad Pitt and is due in December. In Independence Day, she's Jeff Goldblum's ex-wife and works for Bill Pullman. "What can I say? Things are tough all over," jokes Colin, 39, who is wed in real life to Guiding Light's Justin Deas. Not that she's impervious to her costars' charms. "With Brad, I have to say the abs sucked me in. His face, his abs and the wild-card quality of him." She found an interesting contrast in ID's leading men. "With Jeff, there's that charm, and he goes into funny and then into weird. Bill just stays nice. He talked about his log cabin in Montana. Apparently he and Sandra Bullock traded stories about laying tile [when making While You Were Sleeping], and he was trying to relate to me through lumber."
