What a shot to attract even more female tweens: a photo of the incredibly photogenic Freddie Prinze Jr. sitting on rose petals with the accompanying quote, “Girls don’t have to be thin to be hot.” The February issue of Seventeen magazine is a definite eye grabber.
“Girls in L.A. don’t eat anything,” he says in the cover story. “You don’t have to be thin as a board to be hot. I’ll say, `You look hungry. I’m not kissing you till you’re full because I’m afraid you’re going to bite my lip.’ ”
Maybe that’s why the twiggy actress Kimberly McCullough left him.
“She bounced,” Prinze, 23, continues. “Almost four years with the girl, man, and then one day she just . . . I guess my novelty wore off.”
Prinze, who has been seen canoodling gal pal Jennifer Love Hewitt, adds that he enjoys cooking (Chilean sea bass is a favorite) for his dates and that he likes to get to know them better by taking them ice skating, bowling or to the minature golf course. Where was this guy when I was in high school?
Speaking of school, there’s a Q&A titled “When I was seventeen . . .” with Shoshanna Lonstein, former teen girlfriend of dirty old man Jerry Seinfeld. Now 24, the fashion designer says that when she was 17 her closet was filled with Levi’s 501 jeans and Betsey Johnson dresses and that she had a dreadful layered haircut. Lonstein also says that her dream Valentine’s Day was “when my boyfriend of two years took me to his house. He had made two paths with candles: One led to the dining room, where there was a special dessert; the other path led to the couch, where there was a small box. Inside was a beautiful ring with two little diamonds and three sapphires. I still have it on my finger because six months ago we started to date again.”
Lonstein doesn’t add whether she dumped him when Seinfeld came courting.
In his first interview in six years, Guns n’ Roses’ Axl Rose speaks with Rolling Stone. David Wild writes, “At 36, Rose looks a bit older and more solidly built than the lean rock god of his `Sweet Child o’ Mine’ days, the result perhaps not just of the passage of time but of his kickboxing regimen and a lifestyle that’s said to still be largely nocturnal but zealously healthy. He’s dressed tonight in Abercrombie & Fitch, with his reddish hair intact and cut to a Prince Valiant-ish midlength. Having failed to deliver a new album by the end of the 20th century, is Rose ready to commit to releasing a record sometime during the 21st?
” `Yes, I think that would definitely be the right time,’ he answers, a slight grin coming to his face.’ ”
The new G n’ R album is expected to be released this summer.
