KIM CATTRALL PART II
Remember when we said that Kim Cattrall should take a night off? Well this photo is proof positive that we are 100% (on the) money. After last week's FFP went out we received a note from our gorgeous subscriber Polina who was jet-setting in St. Bart's over New Year's and happened to be aboard the S.S. Diddy with Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Naomi Campbell, other assorted masters of bling, and as you can see, Kim C! Cattrall's BS quote in last week's Us, "Sleep. I can't get enough. The holidays are very stressful" had us wondering if her sleep machine has the soothing sound of clicking cameras. Many thanks to Polina and her picture snapping friend who caught Cattrall in the over-exposed act once again.

CHASING AI PAPI!
Move over Ben & Jen. Make room for Matt & Eva, the latest "friends" accused of coupling over the holidays. Now, we could go on about how M&E are the new and improved version of B&J (better acting, genuine sex appeal, real hair) but the thing that makes us go hmmm is the high school-like nature of the whole situation. Ben hooks up with a hot Latina. Cautious Matt waits a few years before playing Adam to Eva. It's like the Madonna-Gwyneth copycat thing without the resentment. In fact, the happy quartet was spied gambling in Vegas over the holidays. The whole thing is vaguely reminiscent of Chasing Amy where the two male characters embroil themselves in irrelevant women when all they really want is each other. Do a Google on Matt Damon and Ben Affleck's picture comes up in the third row. Search for Affleck and Matt isn't until the second page. Perhaps it's Ben, like in Chasing Amy, who is the aloof half of the dynamic duo. Either way, in our opinion Matt is a better choice for a mate than paparazzi lovin' JLo. Now if only we could say the same thing about Ben.
