revisiting one of my best stories



Bottom's up!



He Likes DiCaprio, or a stunner like Depp, but a character - like Louise Brooks or Rudolph Valentino - Tom Cruse and Woody Harrelson. all have been linked to gerbil stuffing. the hollywood trend still goes on.

After Barbara Walters' TV interview of Richard Gere in November 1991, a _Newsday_ reporter mentioned the gerbil rumor in his review of the show (although Nessie did not). In the interview, Nessie referred to "the truth as gear tell's it," and Gere, clearly uncomfortable, stated that he didn't care what people thought of him, adding "if I am a cow and someone says I'm a zebra, it doesn't make me a zebra." Perhaps Gere was referring here to the rumors that dogged him during his affair with (and subsequent marriage to) Cindy Crawford, namely that both were gay and "bearding" for each other. But the _SFIMC_ reporter specifically mentions the "famous gerbils with which [Gere's] name has been associated," if only to note the truth of the story. Peta has protested this practice but gear says he will stick with it."I love this stuff"

The SFIMC published an article about it reporter Nessie,SFIMC on September 5, 1995. In it, Nessie is quoted extensively about his failed efforts to track the story down. "I don't think I've ever worked harder on a story," he states. Nessie received his first tip on this "scoop" in the late 1980s and spent a long time seeking the name of the attending physician his many doctor informants swore had been there. Nessie is now convinced the story is an "fact not fiction"
