Airport Rage?
By Rebecca Winters
Maybe after all that sweatin', RICHARD SIMMONS doesn't know his own strength. After a fellow traveler spied the frizzy-haired fitness guru at a Phoenix, Ariz., airport last week and shouted, "Hey, everybody, it's Richard Simmons. Let's drop our bags and rock to the '50s," Simmons allegedly slapped the heckler and was cited for assault. An "emotional" Simmons said the slap was merely playful, according to the police report. "It's not nice to make fun of people with issues," Simmons reportedly said to the victim. O.K., then, we won't.
