"Kate is one of the best people in the world to muck around with. Tongue-kissing her was a pleasure."
- British actor Geoffrey Rush pulling no punches about the bennies of working with "Quills" co-star Kate Winslet, in the New York Daily News.
File this under "Smart Women, Foolish Choices": Mensa member/archer/actress Geena Davis will tie the knot for the fourth time to Reza Jarrahy, a 29-year-old surgeon, her rep announced yesterday.
Surgeon before 30? Must be a perfect match for Davis' Mensa mind.
"They are very, very happy and excited to be engaged," said Davis publicist Paul Bloch. No date yet on the nups.
The doc popped the question to Davis, 44, over the holiday weekend. They met through friends two years ago and have been an item since. The star of "The Geena Davis Show" has professed her love of younger men in published interviews.
Jarrahy will join Richard Emmolo, actor Jeff Goldblum and director Renny Harlin on the list of men Geena has married. Hmmmmmm. If our math is correct, Jarrahy was just a lad in elementary school in 1982 when Davis landed her first film role in "Tootsie." And the good doctor was a college student when his future love starred in 1991's "Thelma and Louise."
Bra revolution
If she can't bedazzle them in movies, British actress and model Elizabeth Hurley will do her darnedest to woo them with gel-filled bras! Cleavage-enhancing ones at that!
Hurley, ex-love of befuddled actor Hugh Grant, is thisclose to signing a $4 million deal with Glasgow, Scotland-based MJM International, creators of the Ultimo bra. For her bra shilling, Hurley would become the universe's highest-paid lingerie model. Liz will also become a shareholder in the company, according to the Ananova Web site.
MJM founder Michelle Mone, 29, developed the Ultimo, not to be confused with the Bro, after wearing an uncomfortable push-up bra to a dinner dance.
Playboy grief
Playmate Carrie Stevens, apparently always on the cutting edge, has developed an online grief support group for "young bereaved persons" just in time for the holidays. But don't fret, you older bereaved people. Carriecares.com "does not exclude anyone who has lost a loved one, is ill or needs a friend," according to a Playboy press release. Whew.
Carriecares.com sprung after the death of Stevens' boyfriend, KISS drummer Eric Carr. The site aims to foster friendship among millions of online users who seek grief support. Piece of cake.
