Ms Showbiz
YOU'RE dating one of the best-known women on the planet - but do you
REALLY know her?
No problem
for Geri Halliwell's latest flame, actor Jerry O'Connell - he's reading
a copy of her autobiography to make sure he's up to speed with her
exciting life. Now he can find out all about Geri's time with the
Spice Girls, developing bulimia and losing her virginity to "an
ex-public schoolboy with a toffy accent".
Jerry, star
of the movie Kangaroo Jack, was spotted with the dog-eared copy of
If Only as the couple left London to fly to Los Angeles. An onlooker
said: "I couldn't believe it when I saw he was carrying her book.
He doesn't need to read about her life, he could get a first-hand
account. But they were both grinning from ear to ear so it obviously
hasn't put him off."
Geri has
published two autobiographies, the latest called Just For The Record.
Jerry, who
has been dating 31-year-old Geri since they met on the set of Fat
Slags a few weeks ago, clearly decided to start at the beginning.
Maybe he's hoping he'll still be there at the end.

 GERI'S
SPOKESMAN AND GIULIANA'S FATHER RESPOND TO THE TWO-TIMING QUESTION
9/23/03
It
seems that the British press started to do their homework and have discovered
Jerry's recent relationship with Giuliana DePandi. The last reported
sighting of Jerry and Giuliana together was July 27th 2003 (see the
star sighting at EOnline.com)

Is Jerry two-timing Geri?
ANI
LONDON: Will
Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell ever find true love? If reports
are to be believed, then the former Spice Girl's latest squeeze, US
actor Jerry O'Connell, is two- timing her.
Apparently
Jerry, who is currently in the UK to begin work on a flick alongside
Ginger, has a girlfriend back home - E! TV presenter Guiliana DePandi,
who is said to be devastated by the burgeoning romance.
According
to a report in PeopleNews, Geri and her new beau have been out on
a string of dates.
"I don't
know who this Guiliana woman is. She may have dated Mr O'Connell in
June, but that's a long time ago," said her spokesman.
This report
appeared in the Sunday
Mirror:
GERI AND
THE TWO-TIMER
Fury
of his 'engaged' lover in US
Tuesday
23 September 2003
WHEN it comes
to men, Geri Halliwell has always acted on impulse. The former Spice
Girl, who has been notoriously unlucky in love, has been showing off
her new man - American actor Jerry O'Connell - at every available
opportunity.
But while
the 29-year-old has been enjoying her hot new romance another woman
- on the other side of the Atlantic - still believes she's set to
marry him.
E! TV presenter
Guiliana DePandi and her family are said to be devastated after learning
of the new woman in O'Connell's life. A pal said: "Guliana is
very upset. He was the man she was going to marry as far as she was
concerned. "She
even took him home to meet her folks. Her father Eduardo is very protective
over his daughter. "He's
fuming that Jerry is now parading another woman on his arm. Even if
it is Geri Halliwell."
Guliana has
not seen O'Connell since he jetted into London earlier this month
to star alongside Ms Halliwell in the movie Fat Slags, based on the
Viz magazine comic strip.
And the pair
have been inseparable since. Pint-sized Geri couldn't keep her hands
off her 6ft 3in giant when she took him out for a drunken night on
the tiles after watching the Rat Pack play at London's Whitehall Theatre
on Friday night.
They enjoyed
a romantic dinner at Annabel's restaurant and then headed to a karaoke
bar in Soho where Geri serenaded her man with Spice Girls songs.
After a few
too many drinks, Ms Halliwell needed a helping hand from O'Connell
to make it to the car in one piece.
Not good
news for Guiliana. Her man, who appeared in Jerry Maguire and Scream
2 and has previously dated Sarah Michelle Gellar, has been been getting
on so well with Geri that he was more than happy to be snapped introducing
her to his folks at Knightsbridge's San Lorenzo restaurant earlier
this week. A sign that things are definitely getting serious.
Geri's new
healthy shape seems to have done wonders for her love life. She's
had a nightmare track record in her quest to find Mr Right.
Geri's spokesman
said: "I don't know who this Guiliana woman is. She may have
dated Mr O'Connell in June, but that's a long time ago."
Another report
appeared at people.co.uk:
HOT PEOPLE:
SORRYGERI,THERE'S BEENASLIGHTHITCH.. HE'SENGAGED
GERI Halliwell's
latest squeeze is already ENGAGED, I can reveal.
The 31-year-old
former Spice Girl was pictured last week walking hand in hand with
her Fat Slags co-star JERRY O'CONNELL after a meal at romantic London
restaurant San Lorenzo.
But I've
got bad news for the flame-haired singer - 6,000 miles away in Los
Angeles Jerry has got a fiancee who is furious over his cosy dinner
date.
Hunky American
actor Jerry, 29 has been dating TV presenter GUILIANA DEPANDI for
a year and they got engaged three months ago.
And Guiliana's
father EDUARDO has told me that Geri, 31, is playing with fire if
she tries to muscle in on Jerry.
Speaking
from his home in America, he said: "Jerry and my daughter are
still together and they are engaged.
"They
are supposed to be getting married, but men can do this sort of thing,
it is their nature, it is what they do.
"Guiliana
will be upset by this, but I don't need to worry about my girl.
"She
is a strong woman and she won't stand for it."
Jerry - whose
CV includes "starring" as the fat kid in Stand By Me and
romping naked in soft porn flick Body Shots - has been filming with
Geri for several months on the London set of Fat Slags, a movie version
of the Viz comic strip.
Insiders
have said they have become extremely close and have been spending
more and more time together out of work. Geri has even been introduced
to his parents when they visited London last week. Rumours of their
relationship were fuelled by pictures of them tenderly holding hands
as they left the restaurant.
They make
an odd sight together - Geri is 5ft 2ins and Jerry towers above her
at 6ft 3ins.
Jerry once
dated Buffy star SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR, while Geri has been unlucky
in love since she became famous seven years ago.
She has been
single for the past year since she split with Demian Warner, who she
met in a rehab clinic.
She has previously
dated CHRIS EVANS and ROBBIE WILLIAMS but neither relationship lasted.
And neither
will this one if Jerry's fiancee has anything to do with it.

Former Spice Girl singer Geri Halliwell's dreams of conquering Hollywood
may be poised to come true - she's been snapped cozying up to movie
hunk Jerry O'Connell . The popular actor - whose last film Kangaroo
Jack topped the American box office earlier this year - left a glitzy
London restaurant on Tuesday with a broad smile and an arm around
Halliwell. The pair met on the set of upcoming film Fat Slags - O'Connell
plays a rich bachelor while the Wannabe star has taken on the role
of his assistant. And the romance is evidently in full swing - she's
already met the actor's parents.
Finally, this
report of Jerry and Geir's most recent date to see the play Rat Pack
Confidential on Friday Sept 19th appeared in newsoftheworld.co.uk:
Nice
to see the pair of them out again
Sunday 21,
2003
By Lee Harpin
GERI Halliwell
reveals a glorious, touching moment on a night out—and the new man
in her life Jerry O'Connell is delighted to be there to see it.
This is the
first time Geri has given her reborn cleavage an airing after covering
up her boobs with a tight sweater.
She and actor
Jerry, 29, who met earlier this month on the set of their new film
The Fat Slags, are pictured after a visit to the stage play Rat Pack
Confidential at London's Whitehall Theatre on Friday night.
A fan who
spotted them said: "She was wearing this short black dress that
looked tailor-made to show off just how well-proportioned she is these
days."
Geri, 31,
is reckoned to have returned to the voluptuous 32E figure she had
at the height of her Spice Girls fame before plunging to a 32C during
her eating disorders and super-slimming days.
Her fan added:
"She looked extremely happy with her bloke.
" And
good for her—she deserves all the luck in the world."

JERRY AND GERI GOSSIP
9/19/03
The
following report on Geri Halliwell and Jerry O'Connell's date appeared
in Mega
Star. Surprisingly, this web site has been quoted. Unfortunately
the quote was taken out of context. As regular readers of this web site
know, Jerry has been dating and was reportedly engaged to E! News Live
correspondent Giuliana DePandi. In early September Giuliana went on
vacation to England - presumably to see Jerry. If Geri Halliwell has
truly " found new love," Giuliana might have something to
say about it.
Here's
the article from Mega
Star:
Geri 4
Jerry
Fri,
Sep 19, 2003
Julie
Goodhand
It's new
norks, new man for pint-size yoga poppet Geri. She's ditched the diet,
upped her cups and is, as they said in the 1920s, stepping out with
a new beau. Tuneless Geri was spotted leaving swanky look-at-me restaurant
San Lorenzo in Knightsbridge arm in arm with actor Jerry O'Connell.
The pair met this month on the set of the Viz cartoon strip film Fat
Slags. How romantic. Think we’re going to cry.
For those
of you interested in Jerry's credentials, he's 6ft3" - more than
a foot taller than the vertical-challenged Geri - and has appeared
in films such as Jerry Maguire and Scream 2. No
we don't remember him either.
It looks
like we'll be seeing a bit more of giant-sized Jerry though. A source
close to Geri's lauded bosom on the Fat Slags set said: “They got
on well and decided to pursue their friendship with several dinners."
The PR plant,
sorry, close friend then went on to deliver the usual 'it's early
days' nonsense. "It is very early days but there is an obvious
attraction there. Jerry introduced her to his parents, which is a
sign that he intends to keep her in his life.”
Bit assumptive
if you ask us. Maybe Jerry's dad just wanted Ginger to sign his copy
of the SpiceWorld DVD.
Bitter jealous
fans on the Jerry O'Connell website tend to agree: "Jerry is
often known to befriend his co-stars, " they whimper. "So
perhaps the infamous British press is reading more into this than
is really there." The
British press making stuff up? Never!
If Jerry
is looking for long-term commitment, here's a few words of warning
from the carrot-topped mouthy-one herself: “Relationships haven’t
been one of my strong points and I appreciate that there’s an awful
lot of baggage to take on board.”
And we suspect
she isn't talking about her funbags.
JERRY
AND GERI HANG OUT IN LONDON (edited
9/19/03)
9/18/03
Jerry
and his "Flat Slags" co-star Geri Halliwell (Spice Girls)
were spotted on a 'date' in Knightsbridge, West London. Jerry is often
known to befriend his co-stars - so perhaps the infamous British press
is reading more into this than is really there (After all, Jerry's girlfriend
Giuliana DePandi returned from a vacation in England only a few short
weeks ago. Could the relationship already be over?). Time will tell.
Here
is the gossip from the Daily
Record
GERI AND
JERRY Sep 18 2003
Spice Girl
seen with latest flame
By Fiona Cummins
GERI Halliwell has found new love -- with an actor named Jerry. The
exSpice Girl has been spotted out on a date with her costar
in a new Brit flick. She even met US hunk Jerry O'Connell's parents
at a swish London restaurant. Last night, an onlooker said: ``She
was leaning into him very closely and holding his hand. ``They
looked really comfortable in each other's company.''
Geri has
had a string of relationships since leaping to fame in the girl power
group. But none of them has had any staying power. The
31yearold has been linked to Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst, Robbie
Williams and Chris Evans. She
also had a failed relation ship with American millionaire Demian
Warner. The singer has made no secret of the fact she is looking for
Mr Right.
She met Scream
2 star Jerry, 29, on the set of Fat Slags, which is based on the Viz
comic strip. Geri flew in from Los Angeles to film her cameo role
as Paige, a pal of the girls. New
Yorker Jerry -- who also starred in Kangaroo Jack -- plays her boss,
Sean Cooley.
A film insider
said yesterday: ``They are good friends and enjoy spending time together.
They are both lovely, chatty people.''
Geri is busy
recording her new album and is due to jet back to LA next week.
Child actor
Jerry appeared in comingofage pic Stand By Me with the late
River Phoenix, playing chubby and gullible Vern Tessio. He
also had a role in Tom Cruise hit Jerry Maguire.
Here is another
story from the Evening
Standard:
Geri's
big romance
18 September 2003
When she
achieved the almost boyish figure she had dreamed of she was miserable
and manless. Now Geri Halliwell is in more healthy shape and it seems
to have done wonders for her love life. The
31-year- old singer was seen arm in arm at Knightsbridge restaurant
San Lorenzo with American actor Jerry O'Connell - who at 6ft 3in is
a full 13 inches taller than the former Spice Girl.
They met
this month while acting in the movie Fat Slags, based on the Viz magazine
comic strip. 'They got on well and decided to pursue their friendship
with several dinners,' said a source close to Miss Halliwell. 'It
is very early days but there is an obvious attraction there. Jerry
introduced her to his parents, which is a sign that he intends to
keep her in his life.'
Miss Halliwell
has been notoriously unlucky in love. Past boyfriends include Robbie
Williams and Chris Evans.
O'Connell,
29, who appeared in Jerry Maguire and Scream 2, was engaged to his
most recent girlfriend, a TV presenter, and has dated Buffy The Vampire
Slayer star Sarah Michelle Gellar.

STAR'S HOT
DATE WITH U.S. ACTOR..AND HIS PARENTS
By Fiona Cummins, Ms Showbiz
IT looks like Geri Halliwell may have been bitten by the love bug.
The
former Spice Girl was beaming with joy as she left a restaurant hand-in-hand
with actor Jerry O'Connell.
One onlooker
said: "She was leaning into him very closely and holding his
hand. They looked really comfortable in each other's company."
Mind you,
they couldn't get too romantic - Jerry's parents joined the couple
for a meal at San Lorenzo in Knightsbridge, West London.
Geri, 31,
and the 29-year-old met while filming the movie Fat Slags, based on
the popular Viz cartoon strip. She plays Paige, a personal assistant
to the girls. Jerry is her boss Sean Cooley. A
film insider said yesterday: "They are good friends and enjoy
spending time together. They are both lovely."
New Yorker
Jerry has also starred in Stand By Me, Kangaroo Jack, Scream 2 and
Jerry Maguire.
Geri, who
is recording a new album, has made no secret of the fact she is looking
for Mr Right.
Judging by
how happy she looks with Jerry, maybe she's found him.
 JERRY
IN THE UK FILM "FAT SLAGS"
9/12/03
Jerry
is currently in the UK filming the movie "Fat Slags". The
movie is based on comic strip characters from an adult themed comic
book called Viz. Directed by Red Dwarf veteran, Ed Bye, the film stars
Fiona Allen and Sophie Thompson as the corpulent couple who scour the
land for unwitting men to force themselves upon.
According
to an insider who was recently on the set, Jerry plays the love interest
of one of the slags and he "looks hotter than usual." TheZreview.co.uk
had this additional information from Nikki, "Unfortunately I don't
know his full name, only that he is from Los Angeles, he is called Gerry
[Jerry], I met him on a plane to the UK, and he plays an American media
mogul (Sean Cooley) who meets the fat slags and falls in love with them
both! Apart from that, I don't know very much. Sorry! Other than he
is filming in London for the next 2 months." According to this
Anthony
Head web site, "Tony plays Jerry O'Connell's unpleasant sidekick,
Victor." Jerry will most likely be in the UK until October and
the movie will tentatively premiere in May of 2004. Photos of Fiona
Allen and Sophie Thompson dressed up as the Fat Slags can be seen at
Zreview.co.uk.
News
of Jerry's role in "Fat Slags" leaves questions regarding
Jerry's reported involvement in the TV movie "The Winning Season."
Filming for the Winning Season was supposed to start in late August,
but it seems that Jerry went to England around August 12th. (Not so
coincidentally, E! News live's Giuliana recently came home from a short
vacation England). Perhaps the report at SciFi.com
on Jerry's role in the TNN TV movie was incorrect, or Jerry isn't needed
for filming until later in the year?
 AWFULLY
NICE ABS
9/12/03
It
appears that the masked man sporting E! Online's Awful Truth Boxers
is none other than Jerry O'Connell (wonder if girlfriend Giuliana put
him up to it?). Here are the blurbs from the August
28th and September
4th editions of Ted's Awful Truth.
The Awful
Truth
August 28th 2003
Probably
about as soon as you could get this movie star to show us his puss
while his pants are down. Let's call this one a Hind Vice, shall we?
Mr. Pelvic
Pusher likes his women blonde, his drinks stiff and his underwear
loose. That is, with room for expansion, as he's reportedly a member
of those organizations to which, I hear, Jason Priestley and David
Adelson belong--and I'm not talkin' AFTRA.
P2 also enjoys
a bit o' the bad rep he has so innocently attained, as panting legend
has it P.P. has bedded hordes, legions, continents of cuties, he insists
on wearing boxers from yours truly's line of undies. If the smut fits,
I suppose, or something to that effect...
Wonder who
it is? Hint: His name appears in this column.
--------------------------
Dear Ted:
Britney and Jared? This is so PR-related, you can smell it a mile
away.
Angela Young
Providence, Rhode Island
Dear Angela:
You mean like Demi Moore's babysitting stint? Or Sharon Stone's sudden
romantic remembrance of Governor Gray Davis? Jerry O'Connell's
killer-abs quest? Oy, better stop now, baby doll. The point is,
what the hell else do you think people do in this town? Publicité
is their raison d'être.
The Awful
Truth
September 4th 2003
Dear Ted:
We were disappointed to read that the Blind trimmer is not the star
of an upcoming reality farm show. Do you think Paris Hilton will ever
win an Oscar? We think it's Geena Davis! And are you sure that Mr.
Pelvic Pusher in the Hind Vice isn't a certain flamboyant online columnist?
Or maybe Jerry O'Connell?
Jaime Quigley and Alissa McLean
Amherst, Massachusetts
Dear Jaime
and Alissa:
Uh, in order of inanity, I'd say, (a) No; (b) again, no, too young,
though the many different hairdos is on the right super-salon track;
(c) yes, I wish I had those abs; and (d) who's that?
