Cheryl Tiegs: There's no 'Love Story' with Ryan O'Neal

Cheryl Tiegs is NOT dating Ryan O'Neal.

The alleged romance is all over the Web. "This all started with the National Enquirer and the one minute I spent saying hello to him. Ryan and I spent, and I'm exaggerating, one minute together," the Minnesota-born supermodel said Friday. "This whole thing started because I went to Raquel Welch's book-signing party."

Well, gossip.whyfame.com got that detail right, at least. According to that website, at the party for Welch's new memoir, "Beyond the Cleavage," hosted by Alana Stewart at Oscar de la Renta's boutique in West Hollywood, O'Neal had his arm around Tiegs' waist and it was clear they that they were very happy together.

"It makes me sad," Tiegs said. "I've known Ryan for 25 years. I like to spend time with Ryan, but it's impossible to do that with the press now. We can't spend time together, and I think it would be a nice thing in his life now."

June 25, the year anniversary of the untimely death of O'Neal's longtime love, Farrah Fawcett, is approaching, and Tiegs cares about Ryan's healing.

"I like him as a friend. He's quick, he's funny, he's bright. We have not been out to dinner, but I won't mind it, I like him," she said. "I like him as a friend, and I'm not going to back down from that because the press is all over it. So that's the story, and you're the only person I call."

I didn't fathom a romance.

There isn't any area of life in which Tiegs wouldn't be a super influence on O'Neal -- as a friend.

Much better, Sheletta The do-over of MyTalk107.1's Sheletta Brundidge's audition tape for Oprah's "Your OWN Show" rocks.

Sheletta even shows a little (because she's no Raquel) cleavage in the clip she'll be pitching at Oprah's Dallas casting call.

Little Red Bikette Prince on a bicycle?

A Chanhassen source, who has been watching the activity around Paisley Park (where the property taxes are finally current), reported a startling sight Thursday afternoon.

"Here I am driving [by Paisley]," said the tipster I'm calling Super Sevens. "There's a guy riding his bike on the right side of the road, and I'm thinking, 'Who is this guy?' I can see he kind of has black hair in the back and purple long sleeves. I'm thinking, 'Who is this person?' I drive by and IT'S PRINCE, riding his bike. I can't believe it," Super Sevens told me.

What kind of bike does Prince have?

"I don't know, but I'm doing a circle to go back," he told me in his real-time report.

By the time he returned, Prince was within the confines of Paisley Park, where both gates were open. I know that because a few hours earlier I had been out there shooting video, seeing if the Dumpsters were back to normal or still overflowing the way they were when I last had been there.

Noooo, Super, you should have taken a picture.

"I don't know why I didn't take a picture," Super said, yelling at himself. "I had the [camera]. That was the perfect opportunity."

Are you sure it was Prince? "I know what he looks like," Super said. "I have friends who've worked for him. IT WAS PRINCE."

Before seeing Prince's face, Super could tell that this wasn't your "typical person riding a bike."

The showy shirt with the "silky, artistic, flowing" purple long sleeves and contrasting gray body. And the pants? They weren't jeans, or buttless, or attire you might find at nearby Bokoo Bikes.

"I don't know if he rode around the block or just went down the block and came back to Paisley Park," said Super, who noticed one item not worn: A helmet.

Bad Symbolina! With no bike lane on that road, "He was very tight, very close to the curb, taking it very gingerly, slow."

So he wasn't acting like he owned the road, which is smart because cyclists don't want to be taken out by vehicles.
