Which celeb is worried that he's losing his touch in bed? He's always prided himself on being a prolific lover and was mortified when he failed to rise to the occasion. The poor sap has unwisely been crying on his friends' shoulders but what he didn't tell them is that it's a familiar old problem. He's suffered like this for years.

Caine: Beckham too young to be knighted

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-11-08 - 17:44:11

Sir Michael Caine has said he believes David Beckham is too young to be given a knighthood.

His comment follows rumours that Tony Blair has put the footballing superstar forward for the honour.

The legendary actor said he was confident that the 31-year-old could get the award - but said he thinks officials should wait for him to age.

"He strikes me as being very young," he declared on BBC Radio Five Live. "I was over twice his age when I got mine."

The 73-year-old added: "They should wait until he gets his first grey hair, like they did with me, then give him a knighthood."

Victoria Beckham, meanwhile, said she would be delighted if it were the case and would love to be known as a Lady. "Can you imagine?" she commented. "Oh, I’d love that, that would be quite fabulous!"

Caine was knighted six years ago aged 67.

Firecrotch hates the party girl image

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-11-08 - 17:27:39

Lindsay Lohan says she hates her reputation as a party girl. "I'm 20 years old. Is it a crime to go ... dancing with your friends?" the actress said Tuesday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

Lohan said she was "lucky and blessed" to be able to act.

"I've been acting my whole life and this is what I love to do," said Lohan, whose screen credits include "The Parent Trap," "Freaky Friday," "A Prairie Home Companion" and the upcoming "Bobby," about the 1968 assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy.

Emilio Estevez, who directed the movie, told Winfrey that Lohan was a professional on the set, showed up on time and turned in "the best work of her life."

The media focuses on allegations of wild-child behavior "because it sells," Estevez said. "I'd rather have them focus on how extraordinary she is in this film," he said.

"Bobby," set for release Nov. 23, has an ensemble cast that also includes Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Anthony Hopkins and Laurence Fishburne.

In July, James G. Robinson, chief executive officer of Morgan Creek Productions, chided Lohan in a letter for her behavior on the set of "Georgia Rule" and doubted her absence was related to heat exhaustion.

"We are well aware that your ongoing all-night, heavy partying is the real reason for your so-called 'exhaustion,'" he wrote.

The news comes just one day after Fearon revealed in a newspaper interview that he is ready for love.

Ryan Phillippe: 'I'm Not a Perfect Person'

by lawsonjeff @ 2006-11-08 - 12:12:28

Ryan Phillippe has been mum about his split from wife Reese Witherspoon since their divorce was announced on Oct. 30 – until now.

In an exclusive statement, Phillippe says, “I’m not a perfect person, but I’m not guilty of a lot of the things I have been accused of. My priority is and always has been the health and safety of my family."

It’s no secret that Phillippe has always enjoyed hitting the clubs with friends. He and Witherspoon "would fight over that kind of thing all the time. He got away with a lot and he knows it," according to a source at a Santa Monica bar that Phillippe used to frequent.

His rep, however, denies it: "Look, he went out, she went out, it wasn’t a point of conflict."

Others who know them say Phillippe often stayed at his Venice office after arguments with Witherspoon, sometimes "for days a time," says the source. "He said she hated that."

Whatever happens next, says a Phillippe pal, "I know they love their kids to death. So they'll do what they can to keep it from turning ugly."
