'The Rookie' premiere something of a bust

With all the exposure 'The Rookie" has been receiving on Disney-owned operations (did someone say ESPN?), it figures the movie typeswould go all out. One certainly did. Literally, it appears.

At last week's premiere in New York, the Daily News reports,Dennis Quaid--who has the lead role as pitcher Jim Morris--wasaccompanied by girlfriend Cynthia Garrett.

No big deal, right?

Depends on your point of view.

The paper said she showed remarkable cool when her breast poppedout of her red spaghetti-strap dress as the couple walked over to thepremiere party. ... Judging by the paparazzi shots, Quaid is a luckyman."

Note to Newsies: How shallow. How sexist. Such boobs.

Meanwhile, the New York Times caught up with Quaid at the premiereparty and spoke to the man who has portrayed a bicycle racer(Breaking Away"), boxer (Tough Enough") and football stars(Everybody's All-American" and Any Given Sunday").

I was too small for sports when I was in high school," he said.Now I'm too old to play sports movies. I'm in my late 40's and I'mthrowing footballs and baseballs around. I can't figure it out."

*In an unrelated item (other than Quaid's former wife Meg Ryan hada fling with the fellow), actor Russell Crowe has set his sights onan unusual conquest: a couple of Australian rugby players. Crowereportedly is lusting after Preston Campbell, the National RugbyLeague player of the year, for his beloved South Sydney squad. ChrisAnderson, coach of the Sydney Sharks, claims Crowe also is after St.George-Illawarra's Nathan Blacklock. Crowe has no official ties withSouth Sydney. Teams are prohibited from contacting players beforeJuly 1. I heard two weeks ago that Russell Crowe was ringing Prestonand Blacklock trying to get them to go to Souths," Anderson said. Ifthat is the case, it's absolutely wrong." Dennis Quaid feels yourpain.
