...considered a career as an actor, that he lunched with Julia Roberts and slept with Madonna (that relationship didn't work out, we're told, because ''Madonna came on far too strong for him. Blatant sexuality really embarrasses John''). According to the book, he flamed out with famous flirt Sinead O'Connor. When John asked for her phone number, the singer snapped...
...Homer is busy at the Ritz Bar, cadging drinks and watching Tommy, a fast-talking Lothario, flirt with the girls. (Tommy: "When I booze I'm not gonna sip on a drink.

As trashy as its concept was, Rehab's first season was surprisingly earnest, decent and, well, sober, especially...
...were stranded in a foreign land, with little idea where you were or where you were headed, what would you do? Flirt with a stranger, of course. “Do you like Chet Baker?” the Egyptian man in a police uniform asks the lady behind the counter at the bus station. “What?” she responds, confused. “My funn-ay Val-ahn-than,” he sings as his colleagues look on incredulously. This awkward moment—the kind in which only one party realizes...
