Imran Khan and Liz Hurley?!

Cindy Adams threw us for a loop yesterday and our favorite Upper East Side doyenne did so without even mentioning "Jazzy," or "Juicy," those yorkies who munch on fork-fed Kosher chicken from Le Cirque. (Exaggerated cough suggesting feigned detachment) It concerned box office jinx Liz Hurley, who, last we heard, was about to marry her hapless sugardaddy Arun Neyer in a "classy" ceremony on the grounds of the 16th century Devighar Fort in Rajasthan, India festooned with elephants. (Averted Gaze) Says Cindy:

"About Liz Hurley and her former lover Hugh Grant and his current lover Jemima Khan and her former husband Imran Khan. Seems Liz accepted an invite from Imran, a handsome cricket player-turned-politician in Pakistan. He was married to Jemima Goldsmith, a Brit financier's rich daughter who turned divorcee. The split was messy. The blood is bad. Liz, who once was Hugh Grant's love, is now playing potsy with Imran, whose bitter ex-wife Jemima is the new love of Hugh Grant. We clear on all this? Anyway, Imran invited Liz to Pakistan. Liz won't stop calling Hugh to tell him all this. She's on one phone to Hugh cootchy-cooing and whispering this news. Jemima is on the other phone to him screeching about how could Liz do this to her."

It's like a low-rent BBC drama. No word yet on Divine Brown, the hooker with the heart of gold who blew Hugh, or Arun Neyer, the bank account in waiting. Do you remember when Liz and Hugh arrived, in the early 90s. They seemed so serene and Merchant Ivory. What suckers we were. Little did we know the skeeve that lay beneath. It was a gentler time ...
