Kelly Carlson nips Stamos rumor in the bud

"Nip/Tuck" star Kelly Carlson tells me there's a huge problem with Globe magazine's account of a romantic dinner she supposedly shared in L.A. with John Stamos: "Completely fabricated, 100 percent."

Carlson repeatedly gasped and threw in a "Holy crap!" Sunday when reached in Canada (where she's mainly hanging between roles with her boyfriend of two-and-a-half years, Tie Domi, the retired hockey player) as I read the brief item so long and wrong on details.

The item stated that Carlson and Stamos shared plates of calamari, salmon, Caprese salad and tiramisu, which they washed down with cabernet sauvignon wine. For future reference, Globe might note these quotes from Carlson: "I don't drink alcohol. I hate salmon. And I don't think John Stamos knows who I am."

The item on Page 12 of the Sept. 13 issue from "Hollywood's Hottest Gossip: Loosch Lips by Shelby Loosch" did get one detail right: Carlson and Stamos, of "Full House," "ER" and "Glee" fame, were at restaurant Madeo the same night. But they were at different tables far apart from each other, and their reported "snuggling next to each other in a booth [while] playing with one another's hair" would have been extremely awkward, since Carlson's dining companions were Domi's daughters and two of the young girls' friends.

"This is insane. What the hell! How could they write something like that?" Carlson asked me.

Loosch wrote that the sighting came from "one of my sources." Additional comments from Loosch were sought by me on Monday, but she has yet to respond to the e-mail I sent via the magazine's avenue for tipsters.

I'm sure that this correction of the record will attract the same scant attention garnered by the item I wrote in which Cheryl Tiegs denied the countless fictional Web accounts of her nonexistent relationship with Ryan O'Neal.

"The Ashton Kutcher story came out about him making out with a girl [who was not his wife, Demi Moore], and he's threatening to sue [Star magazine]," said Carlson. "Someone described this encounter, but Ashton's saying it's so not true, and it was full of details."

Carlson said she dined at the restaurant after being on the set of "Glee" all day with her boyfriend's daughters. Although Carlson's still tight with Ryan Murphy, writer/creator of FX's "Nip/Tuck," don't expect to see her on his newest baby on Fox, "Glee." Murphy's not wild about overlapping casts from his various creations. After some of the weird plots Murphy wrote for Carlson's character Kimber on "Nip/Tuck," I'd say he owes her SEVERAL more wholesome, sane story lines.

Carlson is scheduled to be in Minnesota soon for a wedding. We have plans to connect so I can shoot video of Carlson in darker tresses, which probably make her look less like Marilyn Monroe. Video of Carlson burning a copy of Globe magazine would be precious, if we can accomplish it without endangering a hair on her exceedingly beautiful head.

'Best kisser in the WORLD!'

Prince probably hasn't gotten it on with many "housewives."

Staub told Wendy Williams that the kissing (and I assume related escalating developments -- eeew!) was a scene best imagined while singing the X-rated lyrics of "Nikki." I assume Staub knows that Symbolina no longer sings that song now that he's a Jehovah's Witness.

According to my buddy Janet Charlton at JanetCharltonsHollywood.com, "In an interview with Steppin' Out magazine, Staub ... alleged that she had a fling with the diminutive singer in her younger years. She called him 'the best kisser in the world' and went on to say, 'When you're lying down, you're all the same height. Plus, he wore HEELS.' Yes, Prince wears heels in bed. He has custom-made high-heel bedroom slippers, and his other girlfriends have verified this. Prince fans are appalled by Danielle's claims, and they want to know the truth. (We'd like more details, too!)"

Symbolina is probably kicking himself, with those very boudoir high heels, for not initiating the policy of having those around him sign confidentiality agreements many years earlier.
