 Entertainment - Elizabeth Hurley: More Controversy

Sometimes, saying you're sorry just doesn't cut it.

Model-actress Elizabeth Hurley who appears in the upcoming comedy Bedazzled may never work in Hollywood again. The actress may be expelled from the Screen Actors Guild for crossing picket lines to film an ad for Estée Lauder, the cosmetics company she represents, according to the New York Post. Hurley, 35, has apologized profusely for shooting a non-union commercial in New York City during the five-month-long TV commercial actors' strike. "She was completely unaware of the situation because she doesn't live in this country," Hurley agent Tracey Jacobs explained to The Associated Press in July. "And she is extremely apologetic about it. Had she known it was struck work, she would have never done it. She is very supportive of her union."

Union reps say that Hurley will probably be ejected, or at least heavily fined, despite her claims of ignorance. Even if she's not booted, some of her peers may still burn her for betraying SAG.

Actors have been striking since May 1 in order to force cable advertisers to pay residuals to actors in commercials, rather than utilizing a flat-rate pay scale.

 

 Entertainment - Backstreet Boys Antics

Here are three new fun facts about Alexander James "A.J." McLean to file away for future reference.

  • He's a good tipper
  • Ladies over the age of 21 dig him, too
  • Alcohol makes him do stupid things

OK, so maybe the last item isn't exactly news.

According to a report New York Post, A.J.'s late night antics aren't entirely in keeping with his band's squeaky-clean image. At least he still has good manners.

In the wee hours of Monday, Oct. 2, McLean and two companions allegedly showed up at New York watering hole Seppi's and were throwing back kamikazes and Jack Daniels when a little filly caught the singer's eye. He insisted on picking up the tab for her libations. After an hour of chatting her up, the two headed out together - with A.J. leaving behind a $60 tip for the barkeep.

After a bonus like that, naturally the bartender was delighted when McLean came sauntering in the following morning, at 3 a.m., with a different woman in tow. When she seemed nonplussed by the entertainer's boasts about the giant Las Vegas manse he was considering purchasing, he figured out an alternate way to impress her. Or should we say, "cooked up"?

The bartender filled A.J.'s mouth with Sambuca - then ignited the liquor with a match. His date sprinkled cinnamon over the blaze, producing a shower of fireworks, before McLean gulped the concoction down. "It was like an exploding volcano," the bartender told the Post, "really cool but kind of dumb if you're a singer."

Well, McLean's little stunt may not garner him a Nobel prize nomination, but it did the trick - the young lady left with A.J. … in search of throat lozenges, no doubt.
