Willis says he and Thornton love each other "in a prison way"; Halle Berry and Hilary Swank talk breasts. Plus: Waxing nostalgic with Cruise, Cruz and Kidman.

Nov 30, 2001 | Remember how Angelina Jolie said she'd beat up any woman who had eyes for her husband, Billy Bob Thornton? Well, if that threat extends to men, too, Angie may have her work cut out for her.

Bruce Willis says he and Billy Bob, who have worked on a couple of films together, have something special going on.

"Billy Bob and I have a kind of a male love for each other, you know what I mean?" Willis tells Peoplenews.com, adding, "You know, in a prison way."

And just to make sure you don't misunderstand, Willis offers the following clarification: "We do love each other, and there is a kind of need for each other."

Perhaps they'd like to exchange vials of blood?

Off diaper duty

Whatever you do, do not suggest to Hugh Grant that he may be something of a surrogate father to Elizabeth Hurley's unborn child.

"Absolutely not," the actor sniffed to reporters in London. "I find that a slightly patronizing invention."

In fact, he says, he doesn't plan on getting remotely that close to the little tyke-to-be. "I'm not being a godfather," he said.

I guess that means the rest of us don't have to kiss his ring.
