What women want: Wilmer
How does Wilmer Valderrama do it? The actor has dated a bevy of Hollywood beauties, from Mandy Moore to Lindsay Lohan (pre-career implosion) to Hilary Duff. He’s even claimed that Ashlee Simpson and  Jennifer Love Hewitt have had a piece of Vaderrama-action.
 
The saga continues with rush of ‘New’ blood
REVIEW. No matter how this review of ‘New Moon’ ends, whether this critic loves or loathes the film, is irrelevant. If you’re one of the legions of “Twi-Hards,” you’ll be stepping on heads to see it this weekend anyway.

NEW YORK. Word of a free skin show at Manhattan’s chic Standard Hotel left some gawkers disappointed yesterday. The show appeared over.

“That’s what happens when you’re a widower, you try to find cheap thrills,” Billy Fallon, 46, a mover from Brooklyn said last night as he looked up at the hotel’s windows.

“In light of recent comments about the conduct of guests in the privacy of their rooms, the hotel will make a concerted effort to remind guests of the transparency of the guest room windows,” the hotel said yesterday.

Representatives declined to answer a question asking if the whole thing was a PR stunt.

The sexy hotel turned demure overnight. Past posts to its Facebook page had reportedly encouraged guests to “exercise your inner exhibitionist. Please share your intimate, and explicit photos with us — those floor to ceiling windows aren’t just for the views.”

Claimed sightings included a Heinz-variety of sex acts, including porn shoots, masturbation, and couples of all gender combinations. Yesterday, it was curtains.
