BOOZE WILLIS

April 07, 2004

National Enquirer Online

 

Old habits die hard? Willis was allegedly escorted from the Hemmingway Bar in Paris.

Bruce Willis was caught in an alcohol-fueled meltdown during a trip to Paris and had to be escorted out of a hotel bar by two hotel employees!

 

The wild partying is a concern because Willis went through Alcoholics Anonymous years ago and has long insisted that his drinking days are behind him.

 

And the danger is that once a person is addicted to alcohol, the addiction can quickly return when the person begins drinking again, Dr. Wilkie Wilson, professor of pharmacology at Duke University School of Medicine, told The ENQUIRER.

 

"Addiction to a drug is a very long-lasting process in the brain."

 

AT THE RITZ

 

An ENQUIRER investigation found that Bruce had already been partying before he arrived at the Ritz hotel's bar on March 20 with his very much-younger girlfriend Brooke Burns.

 

"While Willis was not falling-down drunk, he seemed to stagger when he walked into the bar with Brooke," a source in Paris revealed.

 

"Later, around midnight, he began to order shots of hard liquor.

 

"The intimate, wood-paneled Hemingway Bar is usually frequented by elderly millionaires enjoying a last brandy and cigar before bed.

 

"But Willis outraged the well-heeled clientele when he started singing loudly and openly groped Brooke on one of the bar's banquettes.

 

"He was tipping drinks down and fondling his girlfriend so blatantly that other people didn't know where to look.

 

"Then he took his hat and began passing it around, demanding that customers put some money in it for the barman. When people ignored him, he started hammering on the counter, demanding cash."

 

According to a published report, it was at this point, about half an hour after he came in, that the hotel staff decided they'd had enough. The report claimed Bruce and Brooke were then led out of the bar by two hotel employees.

 

The 49-year-old actor had started partying six hours earlier at the 29th birthday party of French rock star Johnny Hallyday's wife Laetitia at the trendy Paris restaurant Ginger, the source disclosed.

 

"Others at the birthday party included French actor Jean Reno and French president Jacques Chirac's daughter Claude."

 

OFF THE WAGON?

Willis' night on the town in Paris was shocking because the star has repeatedly said in the past that he's on the wagon. Willis now says that he has been a "social drinker" for a number of years.

 

Willis has credited "Die Hard" producer Joel Silver with getting him off the bottle -- the deal was that Silver would give him the movie role of Det. John McClane if he would agree to give up his wild living.

 

He underwent counseling and attended Alcoholics Anonymous sessions in Los Angeles. In 1989, he proudly told a reporter: "I haven't had a beer in two years."

 

In 2001 Willis again told an interviewer that he doesn't drink. And as recently as 2003, he said of his drinking: "That has all been over for years."

 

DENIAL

An attorney for Willis told The ENQUIRER that while Willis was at the Paris bar, "he was not falling down or staggering" and that "contrary to what was written about him being escorted out, Bruce left on his own with Brooke.

 

"In fact, the hotel has apologized to my client's publicist -- saying they are sorry a false report was published about Willis being escorted out of their bar."

 

Top Beverly Hills psychiatrist Dr. Carole Lieberman said Willis' renewed drinking may stem from the pressure of trying to keep up with his girlfriend Brooke, who at 26 is 23 years his junior.

 

Dr. Lieberman, who is not treating Willis, told The ENQUIRER: "He probably feels that if he's not drinking and getting wild, his girlfriend is going to feel like he's a dud!" -- JIM NELSON and PATRICIA SHIPP

Willis To Marry Burns?

imdb.com

 

Hollywood hardman Bruce Willis is to marry his Baywatch star girlfriend Brooke Burns, after she accepted his romantic proposal in a Paris limousine. The Die Hard actor, 49, purchased a Cartier diamond ring in the French capital last week and slipped it on the 26-year-old Texan beauty's finger as they were enjoying a chauffeur-driven ride through the city. Burns has since been photographed proudly sporting the engagement trinket. A pal says, "He asked the driver and his bodyguard to leave the vehicle when they were on the Champs-Elysees. When they stepped out Brooke looked so happy, there was a tear in her eye." News of Willis' impending marriage comes just days after Ashton Kutcher rubbished reports he's planning to wed the actor's former wife Demi Moore

BRUCE WILLIS' DOMESTIC DRAMAApril 27, 2004 Provided by: [National Enquirer Online]"Why can't we be friends?" That's Bruce Willis' plea to the ex-hubby of his girlfriend Brooke Burns -- "Nip/Tuck" star Julian McMahon -- who resents Bruce spending time with their 3-year-old daughter Madison. Bruce thinks that because he's chummy with ex Demi Moore and her squeeze Ashton Kutcher , Julian should be palsy-walsy with him and Brooke. But insiders whisper Julian's jealous whenever Bruce spends time with Madison. The "Die Hard" star tried clearing the air over a coffee-klatch, but Julian listened to him stone-faced -- then suddenly stormed out of the café.

Bruce Willis, Brooke Burns Split Up

Tuesday Jun 01, 2004 4:00pm EST

By Lorenzo Benet and Jason Bane

people.com

 

The romance of Bruce Willis and Brooke Burns is over, PEOPLE has learned.

 

Sources close to the actors say Willis, 49, and Burns, 26, the former host of NBC's Dog Eat Dog, parted ways "within the last week or so," and the breakup was amicable.

 

"It's very difficult to maintain a relationship when they're 3,000 miles apart," one source tells PEOPLE, adding that "both remain friends."

 

Meantime, Willis hasn't wasted any time heading back into the spotlight. The actor was in Hailey, Idaho, over Memorial Day weekend spending time with ex-wife Demi Moore and their three daughters. On Sunday night he and his band, The Accelerators, took to the stage for a performance at the town's Mint nightclub. (Moore and boyfriend Ashton Kutcher watched the concert while kissing and cuddling in a nearby corner.)

 

As for Burns, the actress has been in Hawaii since April shooting her new FOX series North Shore, which debuts June 14.

 

While much of the tabloid buzz has swirled around the romance of Demi and Ashton (Willis and Moore divorced in 2000 and share custody of their daughters), Willis and Burns quietly started dating last fall, after her 2002 divorce from Nip/Tuck actor Julian McMahon. She and McMahon share custody of a 3-year-old daughter, Madison.

people.comCause CelebBruce Willis broke out of his tough guy persona and showed his tender side when he greeted 40 foster children at the John F. Kennedy community center in Washington, D.C., this week. "You guys are the stars here today," said the Whole Ten Yards actor, in town to announce Fostering a Future, a partnership between the National Foster Care Fund (which he founded) and Capital One. Willis, appointed the national spokesman for children in foster care by President Bush in 2002, said an inspiration for getting involved in this issue is his three daughters, Rumer, 16, Scout, 13, and Tallulah, 10 (with ex-wife Demi Moore). "They are my three favorite people in the world," said Willis. "I like the better man I've become for spending more time with my daughters." He also praised celebrities such as Jamie Lee Curtis, Cedric the Entertainer and Jamie Foxx for their efforts promoting the issue. "There are over 500,000 children and youths in the foster care program that need help, and the only way we're going to let people know that they need (it) is by having knuckleheads like me get up here and talk to cameras," said Willis.
