A couple of the TMZ "kids" - in search of a scoop - spied James Caan sauntering out of a trendy watering hole looking a little worse for wear last night and ventured forth with high hopes.
The response the "Vegas" actor spat in their shocked faces was more than they bargained for!
When queried (bad choice of words, I expect) about his thoughts on the brewing Letterman sex scandal, the aging thespian growled back at the gossip tipsters without so much as batting a weary eye:
"It's not as bad as screwin' guys."
Ouch!
Back at the TMZ studio, Harvey Levin was smarting from the hateful remark.
Was Levin the intended target?
"Not cool," the lawyer winced.
A pall fell over the room.
Frankly, I was surprised by the slur.
You'd think that after all the years Caan has toiled away in show business in Hollywood (where fags run rampant around movie sets a-dime-a-dozen daily) that he would be a little more accepting and open-minded than that!
A boycott of Caan films coming down the pike?
Just betcha!
By the way, Levin may also be staring a sexual harassment suit in the face, along the lines of the one that Letterman is grappling with just now.
In one segment of the highly-rated gossip tabloid show, a fresh-faced blond (male) cutie (boasting a lot of on-camera time in the TMZ limelight) let it slip that Levin still hadn't returned a shirt he borrowed from the cub reporter.
Say what?
Another staffer (a plump likable kid with a sad puppy-dog face) jumped on it.
"Heh, didn't you guys pick up on that? They're sharing shirts."
Levin's faced turned beet red.
Uh-huh!
A little bit of office politics gone too far?
