Stargate’s Richard Dean Anderson was quite a catch back when he starred on MacGyver, but not even Teri Hatcher could land him. He never wanted to be a husband, but he doesn’t mind being a father. He spends a lot of time with his 8 year old daughter Wylie. Recently he took Wylie and her friend to the movies in Malibu – we bet they saw Nancy Drew.
MEG RYAN FAMILY OUTING
MELANIE BROWN'S FRIENDS ARE WARY OF STEPHEN BELAFONTE
Melanie “Scary Spice” Brown’s problems are NOT all over now that Eddie Murphy has turned out to be the father of her child. Her friends are worried about her new relationship with this guy who calls himself Stephen Belafonte. One friend who really cares about Mel confided, “Some of us get the feeling he’s a phoney and we don’t trust him. We don’t even think that’s his real last name. If you try to check him out – he has no history before 2004. He used to hang out in clubs and never had any money. We’re afraid he’s WAY too interested in that Spice money!” Her friends don’t want to upset Melanie, but they’re keeping an eye on the guy.
AMY WINEHOUSE: PERCHED ON A RAILING
Amy Winehouse can pretty much do what she wants – except when it comes to smoking at Heathrow airport. She and her husband Blake took their cigarettes outside because the airport has recently become a smoke-free zone. Amy has missed a number of concerts and appearances lately claiming she’s “exhausted,” hopefully she’s flying off to a restful locale.

After a year of separation, Johnny Knoxville filed for divorce July 3 from his wife Melanie. Only a few days later he was seen in Beverly Hills letting it all hang out – smooching his new girlfriend. And she’s skinny. (Remember Johnny once said the difference between a wife and a girlfriend was “about 45 pounds.”) We don’t know if this is the former Mercer Hotel waitress he was supposedly living with, but she might be.
JUDGE JUDY MAKES UP HER MIND
The irrepressible Judge Judy Sheindlin provided some free entertainment for other diners at Madeo’s restaurant last week. The opinionated TV judge was dining with a female friend who had marriage problems and was seeking advice. As Judy listened to her tearful tale of woe she couldn’t resist clucking and commenting on each marital disaster. She tried to console the unhappy friend and ended their dinner with “You’re better off without him!” People seated nearby silently applauded her summation.

Apparently Billy Bob Thornton and his exwife Angelina Jolie ARE still friends. She credits him with giving her the best advice after her mother’s death. Billy told her “You’ll never get over it, it’s never going to be OK. Just kind of let it set with you, and let it be part of who you are now.” Above, we caught him browsing on Robertson, but later he went to Urban Outfitters to make his purchases.
WHAT'S NEXT? CELEBS IN REHAB, OF COURSE
Celebs in Rehab – what could be more fun than that? The show has already booked eight celebrities with substance problems who don’t mind admitting it. Most of them have already displayed their bizarre behavior on other reality series. Committed so far are Chyna Doll (wrestler Joanie Laurer,) Andy Dick, Jeff Conaway, and Puck from The Real World. The show is set in a real rehab in Pasadena and cameras willl follow celebs as they kick whatever they’re on. We can hardly wait.
