From the Have-I-Got-a-Girl-for-You Dep’t: Happily married to Babs Streisand himself, James Brolin had only his son Josh’s best interests at heart when he met Selma Blair on the set of "A Guy Thing" (MGM). Dad was so taken with the young star, who plays his daughter in the movie out next week, he couldn’t wait to call Josh with the thrilling news. "You have to meet her," he said. "You don’t have to date her if you don’t want to, but you two have exactly the same sense of humor. You’d be good together."

Yes, sir. Matchmaker dad is a really big fan. "Have you ever watched her humor?" he asked. "She’s a very sane nutcase. So is Josh. When the camera rolls, she goes crazy, but in a very organized way. She knows exactly what she’s doing and how to do it, and if she experiments, it’s without any shame. Selma Blair is somebody to watch."

Hello, Daddy. Well, hello, Daddy.



Gwyneth Paltrow and her rock star boyfriend Chris Martin are hot, hotter, hottest. Friends say she has even asked him to be her date at the Oscars on March 23. It’s not the sort of thing he usually does. But the word is he’s so crazy about her, especially after their holiday travels, that he’ll stop at nothing, or almost nothing. Gwyn is thrilled that Chris and his band Coldplay have decided to donate 10 percent of their earnings from concert ticket sales, recording royalties and even T-shirts to several needy causes. They are embarking on an American tour this month and expect to rake in $8 million this year alone. With Paltrow as their cheerleader, the sky’s the limit.



One of the highlights over the holidays at the yacht club in the beautiful new marina at Casa de Campo in the Dominican Republic was a party given by Venezuelan power couple Patty and Gustavo Cisneros for their house guest, none other than former president and recent Nobel Prize winner, Jimmy Carter, and his family — all 20-something of them!
