Steve Martin, Anne Heche, and Lindsey Buckingham
 
I didn't put this in the LB forum because it involes a song from SYW

Steve Martin vs. Anne Heche
The film: "Bowfinger" (1999)

Steve Martin was able to settle his own score when he sat down to pen the screenplay for "Bowfinger" right around the time real-life girlfriend Anne Heche is said to have left him to date Ellen DeGeneres in 1997. Two years later, Heather Graham would appear in Martin's Hollywood farce as the most aggressive social climber since Anne Baxter's Eve Harrington, prompting many to speculate that Martin based Graham's neophyte actress Daisy on Heche, especially since the punchline of the character involves dating "the most powerful lesbian in Hollywood" after serving as arm candy for both Martin's producer and star Eddie Murphy during the course of the film. (It wasn't the first time Heche was the muse for a former paramour — Lindsey Buckingham reportedly wrote the reactionary break-up track "Come" about the actress for one of his solo albums.) Martin gave out the usual denials when he was doing press for the film, which also covered "Bowfinger"'s ribbing of the Scientology-esque religion Murphy belongs to called "Mindhead." But for Heche's part, there seemed to be no hard feelings with Martin. She called him "nifty" in her 2001 memoir, "Call Me Crazy," which did a better job of parodying Heche's public persona (and her alter ego "Celestia") than Martin did.

Don't let this happen to you, folks. The writer here meant "reactive" or "emotional."

Thanks for posting, Raven.

I think they were suggesting the song was somehow anti-feminist.

What's the world coming to?
