In her autobiography, Cloris Leachman brags about bumping uglies with Gene Hackman.

“As we moved into the main course, it was as if a cosmic wind enveloped us. Some giant space magnet was pulling us together. We didn’t finish the meal. We went upstairs, flew into bed and made love. It was epic… I remember well the feisty lad he was.”

Whoa, down girl! Sometimes celebs just don’t know how to keep their big mouths shut! But Cloris isn’t the only star who’s screwed someone strange. Hollywood has a whole history of odd hookups.  Here are some of the most shocking… [via Huffington Post]

• Britney Spears has done something that actually makes sense: she’s the new spokeswoman for sexy/trashy brand Candie’s, sold at Kohl’s. [WWD]
• Sarah Jessica Parker said she regrets wearing a black wedding dress when she wed Matthew Broderick in 1997 and would do things differently today: “(I would) white it up. I’d wear a beautiful, proper wedding dress, like I should have worn on that day.” [Times of India]
• Tom Cruise is threatening to sue Addictiontee.com for Photoshopping his image onto tees which say “Sex Addict” and “Everything Turns Me On.”  A spokesperson for Addictiontee.com says their next tee shirt will say, “I sue everybody.”  Oh…snap. [Times of India]

As we all know, TMZ has treated us to the audio of the f-bomb tirade Christian Bale launched on a director of photography while filming “Terminator Salvation.” We found Bale’s rant to be rather unprofessional…and unbelievable. We didn’t realize he could be such a douche bag, which got us thinking about other male celebs who lost their hotness when they opened their big fat mouths.

Tom Cruise is no longer a Hollywood idol. The paparazzi love following him and we enjoy watching his crazy interviews. But I can’t remember the last time I saw one of his new releases. His overworked publicity team has noticed that few non-Scientology people respect Cruise anymore, so they’re trying to improve his “screen-idol status.” After the jump, find out what features the New and Improved Tom Cruise will have.

Mega movie star and big time Scientology devotee, Tom Cruise, is on “The View” tomorrow in a pre-taped segment in which he discusses Jett Travolta’s recent death and the interest in whether Scientology was a contributing factor. In the preview clip above, Cruise gets choked up. Tune in tomorrow at 11am to watch the full episode of “The View.”

Poor Connor Cruise. Even though MOST parents with adopted and biological children love all their kids equally, Tom Cruise is making it hard to believe he’s one of them. The star has been making the rounds on the talk show circuit for the last few weeks, promoting his new movie “Valkyrie.” Coincidentally, however, Connor is making his acting debut in the Will Smith film “Seven Pounds.” As a result of his busy promotion schedule, Cruise wasn’t able to make the premiere of “Seven Pounds” in L.A. this week, but you would think he would devote a little bit of his interview time talking up his 13-year-old son’s accomplishments. Not so! Instead, Tom has stuck to chatting about his other kid—biological daughter Suri. He told Us Weekly that he would “love it, love it” if she became an actress, without mentioning that his only son actually was acting professionally, in a movie out NOW. What gives Tom? I know Suri is cute and all, but Connor deserves some love—and press—too! [NY Daily News]

Last week our own astrosexologist extraordinaire, Kiki T, got “In Bed With” our President Elect, Barack Obama. This week she’s analyzing the astrological chart of a breakout movie star (you’ll have to check back on Friday to see who!), but we’d like your input on who she should get beneath the sheets with next week. Whose sex life are you dying to know more about?

One of the biggest shockers of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” season finale was the breakup of Kim and Big Poppa, after only seven months of dating. We can’t believe she thought he would propose to her. We’re going to assume that he dumped her because, let’s face it, Kim had no reason to end things with her sugar daddy. We think the best prescription for this heartbreak and budget-ache is for Kim to jump right back into the dating pool. Check out who should be Big Poppa II after the jump.

Last night I went and saw Katie Holmes in Arthur Miller’s play “All My Sons”. Now, originally I was going to compare Katie Holmes Broadway debut to Sarah Palin’s VP debate: As long as she didn’t run off the stage screaming, vomit, or totally blank on her lines, then it was a success. But then I realized, this was just too mean for the once lovable Joey Potter. Admit it, we all used to love Katie Holmes pre-Tom Cruise — before she became a robot and was renamed “Kate”.

Remember her on “Dawson’s Creek” as little Joey Potter who, both on-and-off- screen, dated the adorable, age-appropriate Pacey? Remember when she tried to seduce Michael Douglas in “Wonder Boys”, and we kinda wished he’d gone for her? Remember when she actually “acted” in “Pieces of April”, and came pretty darn close to pulling off quirky and deep? See! You used to like her! I did too! BUT, does this mean she belongs onstage opposite the fabulous Diane Wiest and legendary John Lithgow? Hell no, Xenu. But I’ll give her an A for effort.
