Some stars are so bright, it's best to avert your eyes. Recent news reports say a vanguard of Hollywood elite demand that commoners avoid looking right at them. Spokespeople for all, of course, have denied the accusations.
1. Employees at Vegas' MGM Grand claimed that Barbra Streisandwas skittish over direct eye contact while prepping for her sold-out Y2K concert.
2. A quintet of Sylvester Stallone's former house staffers filed suit in November, alleging ocular aversion was a job condition.
3. Last month the New York Post cited a wacky rumor from the Magnolia set that there was no peeping at Tom Cruise, who supposedly asked extras to focus their orbs elsewhere.
Why so shy? ''As hard as it is to believe,'' says Brown U. media professor Mary Ann Doane, ''these people are trying to keep the public's eye in a place they're comfortable with — on screen, rather than in their daily existences.''
