The Celebrity Hugh Grant

The Scandal It's one of the world's oldest humiliations: Having your name published in the local police blotter after getting caught pants-down with a hooker; unfortunately for Grant, his 1995 encounter with one Divine Brown made almost every paper in the Western world.

The Spin What better forum for wrapping a public apology in a frothy layer of chuckles than The Tonight Show With Jay Leno? And when Leno opened his grilling of Grant by asking, ''What were you thinking?'' the genial actor had a chance to answer a question millions of inquiring minds were asking.
