Oh ... my ... Gah ...
Is Geraldo dating D-d-d ... I know I can get this out ... D-d-d ... just give me a minute ... D-darva Conger?
The New York Daily News contends that, "according to a variety of sources," TV talker Geraldo Rivera is keeping regular company with the former nurse/"Multimillionaire" bride/Playboy model.
Mercifully, Conger seems to be one of many women in Rivera's rotation these days -- and the paper says there's been no talk of marriage, since Rivera is still in the process of divorcing his wife of 19 years, C.C. Dyer.
If they were to tie the knot, Conger would get a real multimillionaire hubby after all ...

She's got the world in a headlock
It looks like the WWF dubbed the wrong wrestler "The Body."
Women's wrestling biggie Chyna says she's proud of the hard body she reveals in its entirety in the November Playboy.
"A body like mine has been rejected for so many years: 'Not the ideal beauty. Ugly. Masculine,'" she tells TV Guide. "But doing Playboy for me is the pinnacle. And I'm very proud. It wasn't a sexual thing. It was, 'Look at me. Here I am.' Now people love the body. It's about damn time."
And if you don't find her physique attractive, I just dare you to tell her to her face.

Juicy bits
Let the games pause before they begin? Psychic Uri Geller told London's Sunday Mail that he made the Olympic flame appear to stall as it made its way to the top of the stadium during the opening ceremony last week. Seated comfily in his home in England, Geller says he reached out across the world and held the flaming cauldron by focusing his mind on it. Well, that's a mighty big spoon.
Their eyes may have met across a crowded room, but it wasn't love at first sight for Jennifer Lopez and the Daddy of Puff.

"When I saw him insecure, when I saw little bits of him under all the bullshit," she says, "that's when I fell for him." No ifs, ands or, well, you know ...
