I need to have sex with 12,770 more people to catch up with Warren Beatty.

by Intern Brooke Connolly


According to a new book, Star: How Warren Beatty Seduced America, author Peter Biskind claims to have used, “simple arithmetic”, to make the claim that Warren Beatty made the sexy times with, “12,775 women, give or take, a figure that does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on.”

Warren Beatty, however, is claiming that these figures on his sexual conquests are gently blown out of proportion and that this is not an authorized biography. If you do the math, Mr. Beatty would have bedded a new woman everyday for 35 years.

When it comes to author Peter Biskind’s sex math, “casual gropings” don’t count. But what is a “casual grope?” It’s a grope suited for everyday use and occurring by chance. Before this book, I never knew I had the option to be so carefree to explore and blindly feel around on another’s body. So, today at the office, when I graze against Carol’s breasts at the water cooler, I’m gonna tell her to chill out and that it was a “casual grope” and Warren Beatty does it all the time.
