American nutrition company which in 2001 joined the long list of service providers that have entailed themselves of Cindy's services - they signed both her and fellow veteran stunner Christie Brinkley. Their visages adorn the firm's site at EAS.com.
ECCLESTON, MARK:
British TV presenter with a high opinion of himself, hideous facial hair and even worse teeth than Austin Powers who interviewed Cindy while he was co-hosting exclusive! (Channel 5's equivalent of Entertainment Tonight). It was the worst interview of hers that I've ever seen; he was patronising and so obviously trying to make fun of her (not to mention his informing his equally odious co-host, a pre-Radio 1 Sara Cox, that Cindy wasn't his type - so who is his type then, Tori Spelling?) that I thoroughly concurred with the great Spike Milligan on a later show, to wit "You must be the worst interviewer in the country!" The show later dropped the exclamation mark... and Eccleston, who was last seen presenting a show on Carlton Cinema (the poor man's Sky Movies). Serves him right. (Channel 5, by the way, has since cancelled the show.)
EDRIVE:
Short for Entertainment Drive, the former owners and runners of the Official Cindy Crawford Website and the subject of some dark murmurings about content and conduct. But there has already been a lot of grumbling about it elsewhere... some of it by me, I admit. Let's just point towards countingdown.com/fans/ - which singles out the Unofficial Ben Affleck Site for criticism by arguing that the star of Good Will Hunting and Armageddon would need to have a HUGE ego if something so sycophantic was his official site. Do you really want Cindy to be attacked for self-love? No, neither do I.
ELLEN:
US comedy vehicle (1994-1998) for Ellen DeGeneres, which is best remembered for her character outing herself on the show as Ellen herself did in real life; the jury is still out on whether the show's cancellation a year later was due to America's intolerance of same-sex relations or because it was unfunny and no one was watching (but the premiere that autumn of Will & Grace plus the fact that Channel 4 demoted the final series to a post-midnight slot in the UK should tell you something). Cindy was one of numerous celebs who guested in one of the final episodes, the hour-long spoof documentary "Ellen: A Hollywood Tribute" (shown in two parts on British TV); in the first half auditions were being held for a new sitcom called Ellen, and La Crawford was among the actresses auditioning for the title role. Oh, did I mention this was in the 1950s? (Like most of the guests in this episode, Cindy was uncredited.)
ELMOPALOOZA:
1998 TV musical special featuring the super-annoying spindly red Muppet with a weakness for referring to himself in the third person. In the Broadcast News-inspired climax of a person rushing to get a tape on the air, Cindy appeared alongside Tyra Banks in a cameo. (This isn't the only time she's been with Tyra - see FEENEY, NORMAN.)
