Q: Any truth to the rumors of a Minnie Driver - Harrison Ford serious romance? - J. Brooks, Wickenburg, Ariz.

A: We suspect it's only a momentary diversion.  Driver has garnered more attention lately for her love life (actors John Cusack, Matt Damon, Dougray Scott and Josh Brolin, plus British recording executive Ferdy Unger-Hamilton) than for her films. As for Ford, 59, his 34-year-old son, Ben, is a more suitable age for Minnie, 31 - but he's already married.

DSiF note:  Just to set the record straight, Dougray has never been in a relationship with Minnie Driver. Last fall a British tabloid reported that Dougray and Minnie were seen having drinks in a pub. The tabloid failed to mention whether they were alone or with others since that doesn't make for a sensational story.  But that doesn't stop other gossip columnists in spreading and embellishing the story. Rest assured that Dougray continues to be very happily married to his wife Sarah.
