Talking dirty: Miley Cyrus's boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth, told Who, an Australian online magazine, that "our secret, sexy place to go" is Steak 'n Shake, in Nashville, which has "pretty much the best food, ever." (So much for secrecy.)
"When I look over at her when she's biting into a steak sandwich," he said, "and there is some steak sauce dripping down her chin, there is nothing sexier than that."
(It's a chain. Try the Wisconsin buttery cheeseburger and bacon cheese fries. Sexy!)
Getting serious: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are house-hunting, says the N.Y. Post. The other day they checked out "a three-bedroom, $4.35 million penthouse" in Manhattan, the paper says. Fast work: they've been dating for barely a month.
Lifestyles of the rich and wasteful: Nicolas Cage, in Anchorage, Alaska recently, bought a $2,000 four-inch knife in a specialty shop, reports TMZ.com. What put the zeros on the price tag is the handle, made of ivory, reportedly from a mammoth. TMZ says this kind of work, by knife maker Don Dezarn, is mainly decorative, but that Cage said he'd use it to eat steak. Now where can he find a mammoth T-bone?
Now it can be told: Diane Keaton - what? You never saw Annie Hall? - told People mag that when she was young and dating Hollywood hunks, she really carried a torch for Al Pacino, who was "charming, hilarious, a non-stop talker - like a lost orphan, like this kind of crazy idiot savant. And oh, gorgeous! I was mad for him. I worked hard on that one." But when she said the "m" word, he fled. She never married but has two adopted kids. She's 65.
I'm afraid the Oscar people blew it by choosing Billy Crystal as the emergency-replacement host, after Brett Ratner talked his way out of producing the show, leading his pal Eddie Murphy to quit as host.
I've always liked Crystal, but the last couple times he did it, he lacked his old energy, I thought. Anyway, a better idea was floating around online: Somebody set up a Facebook campaign to have the Muppets do the hosting. Crystal is 63. The Oscar show is scheduled for Feb. 28.
Madonna, who's dating 24-yearold dancer Brahim Zaibat, has found a new justification for having a boy toy instead of a partner her own age. She told Harper's Bazaar her sons Rocco and David "need a male role model as well. So I need to keep this in mind: What is this person modelling to my sons? What kind of man is he? What values does he have?" Good question: what values would you need to live with a lusty old rich broad? She's 53. Rocco is 11. David is 6. Her daughter Lourdes is 15.
Fraudster Bernie Madoff was "inappropriately letchy" says his son's fiancée. Catherine Hooper, engaged to Andrew Madoff, told the N.Y. Post that Bernie "came up behind me at Christmas (one year) and grabbed my butt." Andrew, she added, didn't want to talk about it.
