FRY IN HOT WATER
Hooker jibe at Fiennes
BAFTAS host Stephen Fry had Ralph Fiennes fuming at last night's awards with a dig about his hooker girlfriend. The actor's Romanian lover Cornelia Crisan, 31, had earlier been exposed as a £250-an-hour vice girl.
And Stephen jibed: "Everybody looks like they're having a great time and are very relaxed... but Ralph Fiennes looks a little anxious, I have to say." His attempts at humour didn't go down at all well as Ralph - who split with long-term partner Francesca Annis, 61, over his 18-month fling - sat stony-faced.
To make matters worse, he also missed out on a Best Actor award for The Constant Gardener.
