Pity the hungry celebrity: Sometimes, after pleasing fans, they don't even have energy to open a menu. Such was the plight ofWill Ferrellwhen he went to dinner at the Old Homestead Steakhouse on Ninth Ave. A source there says a"herd of fans"detained the actor en route to his table, and he"obliged every photo- and autograph-seeker."But by the time Ferrell made it to his waiting father and brother, he was so tired that he handed the menus back to the waiter and asked that the kitchen"surprise"him. The startled waiter returned with sirloin, rib eye and filet mignon, followed by huge slices of cake. Evidently Ferrell had worked up an appetite:"The plates went back to the kitchen looking like they didn't even have to be washed,"the source said. Let's hope they were washed anyway.
WhatOprahwants, Oprah gets
So how badly does she want"The Fabulous Beekman Boys"? A source close to the show's stars,Josh Kilmer-Purcelland Brent Ridge, tells us the production is in discussions to move from Discovery's Planet Green to sister networkOWN(the Oprah Winfrey Network). According to our insider, the pull is the"heavily female demographic"that the duo - the first gay couple to star in their own reality series - attracts, along with the fact that OWN"needs a hit."For now, season two of the"Beekman Boys"begins March 22 on Planet Green.
The band's getting back together
Motley Cruerocks on. Despite the '80s metal band's insistence that there's no tour with Poison this year, a source says the bands will share a stage this summer and that tickets will go on sale next week.Poisonfront manBret Michaelscan dry-clean his bandanna - his"pipe dream,"as he once put it, is coming true. Reps for both bands did not get back to us by deadline.
Still the life of the party
Tracy Morganis taking it easy when it comes to booze - a good thing, since the"30 Rock"star had a kidney transplant in December. But just because Morgan can't drink doesn't mean he isn't a generous host. A spy says Morgan spent more than $2,000 on Star vodka and Champagne at the Chelsea Room Tuesday night for the gaggle of friends who accompanied him, but didn't drink a drop himself. We like to imagine thatTracy Jordanwould do the same thing for Grizz and Dot Com.
A man of the people
Woody Johnson's wife is shaken and stirred by a certain actor. TheN.Y. Jetsowner took the stage at theCircle in the Square Theaterafter Tuesday's performance of"Lombardi,"for a Talk Back session with actorDan Lauria, who plays the titularGreen Bay Packerscoach. When we asked Johnson whom he'd like to portray himself in a play about his life, he immediately name-checked Lauria, but his Mrs. had another idea.Suzanne Johnsonpiped up thatDaniel Craigwould be ideal to play her husband. If today's 007 is interested, he'll have to work on his deadpan stare. As Woody was being hustled out of the theater, a little boy approached and said,"Mr. Johnson, don't worry. Next year, we'll get in theSuper Bowl."Were this a Coke commercial, Johnson would have handed the scamp a Jet jersey or something. Instead, he studied the kid without breaking a smile and just nodded his head.
It happens...
When we WE were reporting Wednesday's item aboutDrew BreesandCartoon Network's Hall of Game awards, we sought comment from both his agent and the PR firm repping the show. We did not hear back from either, but today a publicist for the program informed us that our source misheard the quarterback. Brees' actual comment was:"Snoop {Dogg} and I are going to be performing later on and me andTony Hawkwill be hitting the half pipe here in a little bit."We regret the error.
