Cindy Crawford was recently asked to remove her US$900 Jimmy Choo shoes while going through security at JFK airport. Somehow, amidst all the metal detecting and whatnot, the high-priced heels went AWOL. While I support stepping-up security in the fight against terrorism, this instance seems to be a bit much. I can assure you that no woman would ever try to set fire to $900 shoes .

ANNE MURRAY CALLED AND SHE WANTS HER HAIR BACK. Good news for anglophones -- Céline Dion's next album will be en français. 1 fille & 4 types will be her first French disc in four years. Also, having suffered a hernia, Dion no longer does her flying stunt during her Vegas show; a body double now takes flight. Actually, I'm not surprised the songbird has grounded herself. Hell, I don't even buy her when she belts out "I drove all night" in her Chrysler ads -- mainly because she didn't even walk down the aisle at her wedding. She was carried Cleopatra-style behind a pair of camels. The zoological allusion seems apt. I'm convinced she's morphing into one of Siegfried & Roy's white tigers. Tara Reid has lashed out at what she sees as a Hollywood double standard . While Reid has been forced to work desperately to reform her (rather well-deserved) party-girl image, she's annoyed to see Colin Farrell's roguish behaviour rewarded. "You watch that guy smoking endless cigarettes, every other word is f**k, f**k, f**k, 'I'll screw any girl in the world.' If I did that I'd be blackballed out of the industry." You know, Reid may have a point. Of course Tinseltown's selective prejudice is based on talent, not gender. Farrell is a gifted actor whereas Reid's last two credits are National Lampoon's Van Wilder and My Boss's Daughter. Tara, make a decent movie and you too can sleep with as many women as you want. Speaking of Demi, the dark angel has decided to furnish her new US$4.8 million love palace with furniture from IKEA. While this may sound like she's going cheap on the décor, I think Demi's just a hopeless romantic.
