Jon Peters Has A Boner For Salma Hayek And She’s Not Interested

Jon Peters, the man who produced such varied fare as Wild Wild West, Batman and Gorillas in the Mist: The Story of Dian Fossey, is currently shopping an autobiography which is said to include descriptions of affairs he’s had with numerous high-profile women. Among the alleged lovers is Salma Hayek, who is not happy that she should be linked to anyone who is less than a krazillionaire. 

Said Salma:

After several weeks of continued press coverage of Jon Peters’ upcoming book, I want to make something very clear: I have never dated nor had a romantic relationship with Mr. Peters. My name has been continually linked to his romantic liaisons, and I want to put a stop to this lie.

For the record, this is Jon Peters:

He is the one who isn’t awesome.

In case you aren’t already nauseated by Peters, allows us to share an except of his book proposal:

Imagine a contemporary, non-fiction What Makes Sammy Run, but with a loveable protagonist. And it contains the truth about everyone in Hollywood you ever dreamed of knowing, from the still-swinging post-Rat Pack sixties, through the cocaine-fueled auteur seventies, the star-mad eighties, the spend-everything corporate nineties, the present video-driven End of Days. The rise of Jon Peters from reform school hairdresser to Chairman of Sony-Columbia Pictures is the most audacious and most unlikely success story in the history of the entertainment business. Producer of Rain Man, Batmanand Superman, among many other blockbusters, Peters came from the lower depths to become THE MAN in Hollywood. Lover of Barbra Streisand, Kim Basinger, Pamela Anderson, Nicolette Sheridan, Sharon Stone, Salma Hayek and Catherine Zeta-Jones, among many other goddesses, Peters became a Hollywood legend for seduction as much as production.

And there you have it: Jon Peters, THE MAN, the legend, the guy who was publicly shot down by Salma.
