Man On The Moon : Jim Carrey
On Line has
offer the Man On The Moon Daily Dish reports that Any and all romance between them ended with their breakup last year, Holly tells Daily Dish, contrary to their several appearances together over the summer. "I will always love Jim," said Holly, who filed for divorce in July 1997. So why did she fuel reconciliation rumors by accompanying Carrey to the premiere of "The Truman Show"? "As a show of support" for her ex, she says, of whom she clearly she thinks fondly. nNo matter, Holly has moved on and is now happily involved with Todd (Gus) Gustawas, who runs Matthew McConaughey's movie company, JK Livin Productions. Daily Dish also asked Holly about those persistent rumors last year linking her with actor/director Ed Burns. She insisted the stories weren't true. "I have a lot of men friends," she said, "and Ed is definitely one of them. But that was all it ever was." |

On the set of the Milos Forman-directed
Andy Kaufman biopic, Man on the Moon Jim
Carrey reportedly suffered a minor neck injury while filming
a scene with the same professional wrestler who once put Andy
Kaufman in a neck This is the latest incident of line blurring on the set of the film. Carrey has reportedly sunk deeply into the role, even asking for two trailers on the set, one for "Andy Kaufman" and one for Kaufman's lounge lizard alter ego, "Tony Clifton." The parallels between this incident and Kaufman's real life are unnerving—and perhaps even a little suspicious. Back in Memphis in 1982, Lawler, a former Southern heavyweight wrestling champion, offered to fight the eccentric Kaufman, who until that point had only wrestled women. Kaufman, who had proclaimed himself "Inter-Gender Wrestling Champion," didn't last long in the ring with Lawler, and the comedian was taken away from the exhibition match on a stretcher, with four compressed vertebrae. A few months later, Kaufman, still wearing a neck brace, appeared with Lawler on Late Night With David Letterman, and things quickly devolved. The infamous appearance, in which Lawler whapped Kaufman in the face and the comedian responded by swearing a blue streak and throwing Letterman's coffee at the wrestler, was part theater and part mayhem. After the show aired, Kaufman threatened to sue NBC for $200 million, and he dismissed those who thought his injuries were all an act, telling them to "check with the hospital I was in. Let them look at the X-rays." Lawler said he never really knew whether Kaufman was angry or whether it was an act. "It appeared to be real," he said earlier this year. But, he added, "You never knew what was real and what was not." |

Jim and Elton : USA Today reports that Elton John, who is a friend of Milos Forman's, accepted an invitation to visit the set of the film, and he and Jim Carrey took a shine to one another.That would explain why Jim recently joined John onstage for a rousing rendition of Rocket Man. But it turns out what went on backstage was even more intriguing. After the show, says the paper, Carrey was telling John about Kaufman, and explaining how the late comedian would get carried away by his alter ego, Vegas lounge lizard Tony Clifton. The vegetarian Kaufman, while channeling Clifton, would eat prime rib, drink Jack Daniels, and smoke. But when the Taxi star was back to his old self, he would clean out his polluted system by—get this—swallowing 30 feet of cheesecloth. John found the entire story fascinating, and decided to send Carrey a gift that would pay tribute to all three parts of his current psyche. The entertainer sent expensive red wine for the Carrey, Limburger cheese and magazines of large, naked over-50 women for Clifton, and 10 packages of cheesecloth for Kaufman. The Incredible Mr. Limpet : Jim Carrey and a Hollywood crew have picked Cedar Key FL as the location of the film The Incredible Mr. Limpet ,a remake of a 1964 movie in which Don Knotts played a bookworm who dreams of life under the sea. Scouts from Warner Bros. were looking for a fishing village that could be seen from the water, said Judith Hagin, film commissioner for Ocala and Marion Counties. The village has forests that were once a major provider of cedar for pencils in the mid-1800s and it is still home to some fishermen. |

Jim Carrey, who made impersonations of Vanilla Ice (remember White, White Baby?) and Michael Bolton, gave his pipes a workout this weekend to the delight of some Elton John fans. The Los Angeles Times reports Jim Carrey, decked out in a sequined red-leather jacket, joined Elton onstage Saturday night during the entertainer's set at the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim, Calif. The crowd reportedly went nuts as the two broke into a soaring rendition of Rocket Man, with Carrey matching Elton note for note. Carey, never known for his subtle way with a gag, soon had the audience in stitches as he sat down beside Elton at the piano for an ivory-tickling duet. But instead of using his hands, the comedian decided to bang out a tune with his head. When Carrey finally took his leave, Elton said, Whoo, boy—I won't forget that one.Also Carrey recently joined Jeff Goldblum's Monday night jazz band at the Lucky Seven supper club in Hollywood. He performed Mack the Knife, and the mag says that even though he forgot the words, Carrey still managed to whip the crowd into a frenzy and looked like he had a blast. That's not all: you can also hear Carrey warbling I Am the Walrus on a recently released Beatles tribute album. |

Man on the Moon : Jim Carrey, method actor? The newly respected Truman Show star is apparently exhibiting some behavior more befitting Dustin Hoffman or Robert De Niro than a guy who until a few months ago was best known for his talking butt cheeks. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Carrey is going to extraordinary lengths looking for inspiration for his role as the eccentric Andy Kaufman in the Milos Forman-directed biopic Man on the Moon. How far will he go? Well, on the first day of shooting this week, the comedian turned critical darling arrived dressed as an ice cream man, and proceeded to hand out tasty treats to the crew from the back of an ice cream truck. And Carrey seems to have done more than his share of research for the role. Sources tell the trade that the A-lister has two trailers on the set: one for "Andy Kaufman," and one for the late comedian's sleazy, abrasive Vegas lounge singer alter ego, "Tony Clifton." The move isn't too surprising given the history: When Kaufman starred on Taxi, he signed two separate contracts, one for himself and one for Clifton, and demanded a separate trailer for the Clifton persona, insisting all along that they were different people. When Clifton misbehaved on the Taxi set, he was fired, and legend has it that Kaufman, still in the Clifton character, was dragged kicking and screaming from the set. Carrey allegedly asked the crew to call him Tony during the first week of shooting, when he was shooting scenes as Clifton—even when he wasn't in front of the camera. Carrey, who on NBC's A Comedy Salute to Andy Kaufman revealed that the late comedian originated the Clifton character before turning him over to friend and fellow comedian Bob Zmuda, is obviously reveling in the role. No word from Carrey's reps or the pic's producer, Jersey Films, on the reports. Meanwhile, in other Man on the Moon news, Daily Variety's Army Archerd reports that Taxi stars Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner, Jeff Conaway, and Carol Kane will play themselves in the film, with Danny DeVito, who starred as the despicable Louis, on board as George Shapiro, Kaufman's manager. Tony Danza, who's currently on Broadway in Arthur Miller's A View From the Bridge, opted out of the project. Source: Mr.showbiz |

In what became a most hotly contested competition among A-list actors, Jim Carrey was chosen Friday evening by director Milos Forman to play comic Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon, the biopic for Jersey Films and Universal based on the script by Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski .The decision was based on a filmed audition that several actors gave to show how theyd play Kaufman, the unusual comic who died of lung cancer at age 33 in 1984. The role was coveted by numerous actors but apparently came down to a contest between Carrey and Edward Norton, who was Oscar-nominated for Primal Fear and worked with Forman on People Vs. Larry Flynt. Initially, the favorites consisted of Carrey, Norton, Nicolas Cage and John Cusack, with other stars such as Kevin Spacey, Gary Oldman and Hank Azaria also late entries. Its unclear exactly who tested, but Cage declined, as apparently did Oldman. Though its unheard of for an actor accustomed to being begged to accept $20 million for his next slot to be required to audi-tion for a role, Carrey badly wanted to play Kaufman and warmed to the task. So did Norton. Both tests were said to be great. But Carrey, an accomplished impressionist and a longtime fan of the quirky Kaufman, evidently became Kaufman in the tape, even using the late comics actual bongos. But Carreys tape was considered strong enough to make it all a non-issue. Coupled with the early positive word-of-mouth about his performance in the Peter Weir-directed Paramount film The Truman Show, Carrey won the role. And given his undeniable pull at the box office, studio brass is more than pleased with Formans choice, sources said. Carrey will officially be offered the role today, ources said. Hell co-star with Danny DeVito, Kaufmans former Taxi co-star, whos playing the comics manager, George Shapiro. DeVito is producing with Jersey partners Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher; Shapiro, his partner Howard West and Bob Zmuda will also be involved in producing capacities. |

Press, Carrey and wrestler Jerry Lawler were lensing

Eric Gold, tells the wire service. "Mr. Lawler acted
unprofessionally, and he attacked him. He attacked him, and he
injured his neck." "Jerry turned real angry, ran back
