An Oprah Winfrey-Don Johnson romance story is the hot read in thesupermarket checkout lines this week. Don't believe it.
The sleazoids are having a field day hyping an alleged trystreportedly ignited at a party on the French Riviera. The Star andthe Globe have them dining, dancing and even smooching.
Johnson's publicist, Elliot Mintz, laughs about the whole crazystory. The actor and Winfrey have been friends since he appeared onher talk show years ago with Melanie Griffith. While he has "muchaffection for Oprah, it was nothing more than merely asking her todance at a lovely party." In fact, Mintz reports, Johnson left theevent with another woman whom he met there. Griffith, meanwhile, is in the news, too. She's been sued forallegedly causing $33,000 in damage to a house she rented last summerin East Hampton on Long Island, N.Y. Among damage claimed by Grahamand Maura Clark: Griffith's dog chewed eight valuable antique chairsand defecated on expensive silk rugs. Griffith's business manager,Susan Keenberg, says she believes the suit might have something to dowith the actress' request for a return of her security deposit. "Allwe ever said to them is, `If you have damages, show them to us' . . .but they haven't."
Griffith paid $85,000 to rent the $3.5 million house for eightweeks, beginning last July.
