Seen at Mikey, Eric, & Scott's...
According to Britain's Sky News, Verne Troyer, the 2-foot-8 "Austin Powers" film star is engaged to a model who's more than twice his size. His fiancee, Genevieve Gallen, is 6-foot-2.
Sky News reports that Gallen is a yoga instructor and model. Troyer and Gallen have been reportedly dating for a year, after initially meeting at a New Year's Eve Party in the Playboy Mansion in 2000.
UPDATE: Here's a link from October 6, 2002: Lovelorn Mini-Me goes on lethal binge
Evidently, when this couple was having problems, Mini-Me was reported to have run wild, fuelled by booze, in the Manhattan strip club Scores.
A dancer said: "Verne hit on every girl he got in his clutches. "He grabbed a friend of mine and whispered: 'Y'know, I'm not small everywhere.' He was definitely looking for some action."
[If Mini-Me ever said something like that to me, I'd probably drop kick him to Timbuktu.]
Don't worry, I have more photos of the happy couple...
Oh, man, those pictures are too much!

Posted by: Keanuette at July 25, 2003 03:20 PMhrmmmm . . . a 6'2" blonde, who looks pretty damned good from these pictures, anyway. as long as she's going to marry a guy shorter than herself, she might as well go for one who's got a few bucks, and obviously takes care of her business
Posted by: keith at July 25, 2003 04:05 PMI've scoured the net for pictures of the two of them together.
I don't know why.
Consider it my public anti-service (after the public service of spreading the word about free Cold Stone)

Posted by: eve at July 25, 2003 11:48 PMI don't know if this is very, very, wrong, or really amazingly sweet. If it's for real, then well, whatever...
Posted by: Barbara at July 26, 2003 08:02 AMSweet merciless mother of holy flying fuck. It's real. I would absolutely love to hear someone say that to him, the comment about drop kicking him to Timbuktu. But then, wouldn't it be more of a punt?
