In this sample, his wife, Gail Sheehy, talks about the first time she saw Felker, when they were both at the New York Herald Tribune. The first time I laid eyes on Clay he was yelling on the phone — something unusual. I dared to walk down the back stairs at the Herald Tribune women's department, which was a flamingo-pink ghetto. But I had a story idea, and the only way to do it was to go and talk to Clay. So I was quite terrified; but then when I heard him and saw him, he was very big. And he had a huge voice, which just, you know, sliced right through me. And he was yelling at somebody about tickets to Dinner at Eight. He was just, like, another creature from another planet to me.

According to the mag, they'd been dating since December. "Mandy is one of those genuinely sweet angelic people you wish to meet your whole life," Ryan wrote. We agree! We've been dying to meet Mandy since she played Lana the witchy popular girl in the original Princess Diaries. "I am grateful for our friendship and how it allowed us both to grow and learn more," Adams added. Of course, he blames the media spotlight for the split. "Unfortunately I am allergic to paparazzi and have found the best antidote to that sort of nonsense is staying behind the guitar and typewriter, staying close to my support group of friends and band mates and not engaging in activities that prevent me from taking care of myself or others," he says. "I found the entire speculation and subsequent photographs and intrusions terrifying and only wish to live as normal a life as possible, so that I might always remain punk as f*** AND sober." Laying aside the fact that the only "lie" we ended up printing was the one Ryan told us, who hides their relationship from the press and then sends out a press release about their breakup?

Haysbert: '24' role may have helped Obama [CNN] Source: Daily Intelligencer - New York Magazine | 2 Jul 2008 | 7:20 pm Katie Holmes Not Selling Tickets on Broadway; Plus: Tom Cruise Heading to the Stage?![]() Photo: Getty Images It seems Katie Holmes is much better at selling magazines than she is at selling Broadway tickets. In today's Post Michael Riedel reports that her upcoming Broadway debut, in Arthur Miller's All My Sons, just isn't the draw that producers had hoped for. Despite brokers' expectations, the girl is no Julia Roberts, "who pretty much sold out Three Days of Rain in One Day of Rain." (To this we can only say: Duh. Who expected Joey Potter to bring in the fans of Shelby Eatenton Latcherie?) Riedel explains that Holmes, unlike the last Mrs. Tom Cruise (and unlike Daniel Radcliffe in Equus a few blocks away), doesn't get naked onstage. Also, the economy isn't great these days: "People aren't shelling out $110 for a play anymore," one broker says. "It doesn't matter who's in it." (This explanation we don't buy, mainly because of two words in last week's column: Taylor Hicks.) But what Riedel fails to mention — an omission we think speaks volumes — is that Holmes is not putting on a one-woman show. And the producers' botching of this message suggests to us that the show might be selling more tickets if Katie Holmes weren't in it. Oh, you didn't know that Tony winner John Lithgow, Tony nominee (and Little Children hottie) Patrick Wilson, and Oscar winner Dianne Wiest are in this play, too? Why would you? All anyone can talk about is Katie Holmes, Katie Holmes, Katie Holmes. "Backstage at All My Sons, the buzz is that the cast has been forced to sign confidentiality agreements," reports Riedel. "The Scientology minders in charge of Holmes apparently don't want any press they can't control." Hint, hint, producers: This may be the perfect excuse to shift the focus to everyone else. An All My Sons with Lithgow, Wilson, and Wiest would sell just fine, we expect; we think all Katie Homes is doing is overshadowing her talented (and stage-tested) co-stars. Also, talk about burying the lede, Michael Riedel! "By the way, Cruise has been putting out feelers to theater producers about doing a play at some point. He's in career recovery, which usually means a visit to Broadway at some point." Interesting! But which show? We're going with The Producers. After all, Josh Harnett already stole his part in Rain Man — and maybe Cruise can loan the production some Nazi uniforms. —Lori Fradkin YOU CRUISE, YOU LOSE [NYP] Source: Vulture -- Entertainment, Music, Culture, Theater, Movies, Art -- New York Magazine Blog | 2 Jul 2008 | 7:15 pm Tinsley Mortimer Explains How to Become Popular![]() Tinsley with friends Fabiola Beracasa and Max Azria.Photo: Getty Images Maybe you are not the tallest or the prettiest person, but this is your one chance on Earth to enjoy the beauty of life. And one of life's greatest joys is the blessing of companionship, the bonds between you and others whether friends, family, or new acquaintances. Close, honest relationships will in turn make you a happier persona and will also make you want to focus even more carefully on your appearance and behavior. So being self-obsessed but not letting anyone know will make us popular? How do we do it, Tinz?! We've condensed her tips into a handy bulleted list. • "Do not judge people beforehand, quickly, or superficially; try to like them and get to know them as individuals." • "Be sincere, be inclusive, be respectful, and be positive." • "Show respect to everyone. Even a person in the lowest imaginable job is a human being with feelings." • "Don't put on a façade when you interact with other people." • "If you have been the guest in someone's home, have received a present, or have simply been treated specially, always send a thank-you note on lovely stationery … Put down that Blackberry — e-mails are inadequate." Oh, Tinz! We could have come up with those ourselves. This is exactly how the fashion industry operates, after all.
