Quotes of the Day

Ivana Toys with Boys
A woman most famous for divorcing well is about to play TV matchmaker. In a fall Fox special titled Ivana Young Man, IVANA TRUMP will select eight twentysomething guys to vie for a "successful but lonely fortysomething woman." When wealthy men like Ivana's ex, Donald, trade in their wives for younger models, it's a tired cliche, but the older woman — younger man coupling still grips the public's interest. (Thanks, Demi!) In other words: Donalds of the world, you're fired!

You're Going Out on the Court in That?
To win a Grand Slam takes talent and drive. To attempt it in a denim mini-skirt and knee-high black gaitors takes ample body confidence and — let's face it — unique taste. SERENA WILLIAMS' custom Nike duds (she removed the shin guards before play) at the U.S. Open last week were just the boldest in a long line of fashion statements by the would-be glamazon of tennis. She has served some winners — like a flappy white skirt at Wimbledon this year — but also some line-ball calls, like the catsuit of the 2002 U.S. Open. "I always considered myself as an entertainer," Williams told reporters. Sure, but should she be doing comedy?

Quite a Step Up From the Waterboy
Before you can teach a quarterback to run, you have to school him in the swagger. Lucky for ADAM SANDLER, who stars in next year's remake of 1974's football-in-prison film The Longest Yard, his coach is Hollywood's most beloved jock, BURT REYNOLDS. "What I told Adam is, 'Get a walk,'" says Reynolds, who played the QB inmate in the original. "A quarterback walk is like a cop walk, where you stride up there, and before you even tell the guy to roll the window down, he knows he's in deep trouble." With a cast including comic CHRIS ROCK and former NFL players Michael Irvin and Brian Bosworth, rookie Sandler is apt to take some hits in the game scenes. "I did all that stuff, and I pay for it every morning when I get out of bed and everything hurts," says Reynolds. Ah, but it was a sacrifice for art — the art of guys really crushing one another.
