All hail Official Defamer Cocksmith Benicio Del Toro, who when confronted with a well-circulated rumor that he had sex with a certain starlet in the elevator of the Chateau Marmont, responded thusly:

"Did I ever have sex in an elevator with Scarlett Johansson after an awards show?.

"I kind of like... you know, I... well... I don't know. Let's leave that to somebody's imagination. Let's not promote it. I'm sure it has happened before. It might not be the last time either."

Apparently, there is a small army of young actresses who've felt the cold brass of the Chateau elevator rail against their hindquarters courtesy of Mr. del Toro. How can he possibly be expected to keep them straight? Nicely played.

Luckily, not all actors are as accomplished at responses that simultaneously dodge the question while also affirming one's rather advanced level of cocksmithery, or the entire public relations industry would fall into obsolescence. And we wouldn't want that, would we? There's nothing sadder than dropping a nickel into an out-of-work flack's tin cup on the way out of Starbucks and hearing them mutter a half-hearted denial.
