MANILA, Philippines—Gary V was detained for four hours last week at the Qatar airport. He lost his passport while onboard a Qatar Airways plane, according to an SMS from his wife, Angeli.
Gary was released because he was a Unicef ambassador, and given a temporary entry permit. “[At first] they wanted to send him back to Dubai,” the text message said. Gary’s passport was returned to him on Tuesday, after it “went to London and back.”
Gary performed to a crowd of 3,000 in Dubai and 10,000 in Qatar, Angeli said. “It was the biggest pop concert in Qatar history in a very long time,” she added.
About that scar...
NEW YORK — Tina Fey’s husband is talking about something the “30 Rock” actress would rather not discuss: the scar on her left cheek. In an interview in Vanity Fair magazine, Jeff Richmond says a stranger slashed Fey’s face when she was 5, in the front yard of her house.
Says Richmond: “I think [that incident] informs the way she thinks about her life.” AP
Actor envy
Keanu Reeves, star of the forthcoming sci-fi drama, “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” reveals that he would have loved to play another sci-fi character. “I had a little actor envy,” he says, “when I did not get to play Wolverine (‘X-Men’ — the role went to Hugh Jackman).”
The actor believes in life on other planets: “How could there not be? The universe is so vast. I think the idea that life doesn’t exist anywhere but here is crazy.”
