Was Kidman's stalker on the rebound from tailing Schiffer? Plus: Spears and Aguilera offered $2 million to strip, and "Sopranos" rumors dumped in the river!
May 25, 2001 | Did Nicole Kidman get Claudia Schiffer's sloppy seconds in the stalker department?
It seems Kidman's alleged stalker, Mathew "I've never stalked anyone" Hooker, he of the flowers, ice cream and acting/directing/writing/ composing/arranging/songwriting/poetic aspirations, had his eye on the German supermodel more than a year ago.
In fact, the New York Daily News reports, just last month, Hooker filed a lawsuit against American and Iberia Airlines, claiming the airlines messed up his "Easter holiday" last year on Majorca, the Spanish island where the frequently stalked Schiffer has a house.
In his suit, Hooker maintains that he was "drugged" and pick-pocketed by his fellow passengers on a flight en route to Barcelona -- and was consequently was unable to rent a car in Majorca. After schlepping out to Schiffer's villa on foot -- "heavy luggage" in tow -- not once, but twice, Hooker was apparently repeatedly turned away by Schiffer's mother and sister. Much to his dismay, he eventually found shelter in the local police station, but not before being felled by a double hernia from those blasted "heavy" bags.
Schiffer, you'll recall, has had no shortage of stalkers in the last year or so. There was the guy who showed up with a marriage proposal and not one wedding ring, but two. And don't forget the Spanish fellow who left his bloody handprints and his car behind.
But a guy who proves his love with hernias? Now that's something special.

Extracurricular 'canoodling'? Fuhgeddaboudit!
Remember those reports about "Sopranos" stars Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow) and Jason Cerbone (the late Jackie Jr). steaming it up off the set? So totally false, Sigler would have you know.
"He's an absolute sweetheart," Sigler says of her former costar on EW.com. "All of my girlfriends are in love with him and tell me how lucky I was that I got to make out with him."
But their mash sessions have been for the camera's eyes only, Sigler insists. "There's been no 'canoodling,' no 'bussing'" off the set, she says. "We're just very good friends."
Capisce?

Naked stars and free PR
Something tells me neither Britney Spears nor Christina Aguilera will take them up on their offer, but the marketing geniuses over at LethalSports.com deserve credit for trying.
The site, which features sports articles and photos of naked women in the spirit of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue "but without the swimsuits," is offering each perky pop star $2 million to pose sans crop-top (and crop-bottom) for its photographer.
What I want to know is, when neither woman opts to doff, will they give the money to the out-of-the-box thinker who came up with this admirable PR scheme? They really should.
