19/10/00 Extracts from Piper Perabo Interview - Hot Tickets (UK)
"The story of me and Adam Garcia (her very attractive Aussie love interest)......I think audiences will be surprised and happy with what they come away with. If I was a teenage girl, I'd be very interested in seeing the Adam Garcia story"

"We (the girls) were on a very fashionable high-protein diet. Pretty hard for a vegetarian like me." "I love ice-cream" she laughs. One day Adam Garcia summoned her to his trailer saying he wanted to work on some lines with her. She knew something was up. "He's just not that sort of guy. He'd never say, "We need to work on the social ramifications of a scene." In his trailer she saw two huge sundaes. He said "Let's just eat really fast and they'll think we're working." So we just sort of inhaled them. But yes, I had to do a lot of crunches for this film."

A lot of kissing too. "I did one kissing scene with Adam 31 times. I felt really inadequate, like my kissing was no good." But it wasn't too bad because she and Garcia got on famously, though not too famously. "We are great friends." She's not lying now, though has been coached by her publicist on "personal question strategy". Does she have a boyfriend? "I don't talk about that in the press." She does though. I see her saying goodbye to him later in the day and he's not movie-star good-looking like Adam Garcia.

23/8/00 Why we all love a happy ending
A spy on the set of Coyote Ugly told the New York Post that three months before the premiere, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Touchstone Pictures made a last minute overhaul of the ending. The original ended with Piper Perabo's character "making it" in New York as a singer/songwriter. The addendum (LOL Ad-endum) featured Perabo, Goodman, Banks and Garcia doing more bumping and grinding on the bar - because that's what the screen tests called for....

Intro: "Our Aussie guys are hot! (meaning Heath Ledger, Russell Crowe, Guy Pearce and Adam Garcia). They are out of control! Adam Garcia was so out of control he was asked to tone it down" <footage of Adam's bar top strip in Coyote Ugly -  taking his shirt off, rubbing his nipples and sliding down the bar> Adam: "I was a trained dancer so they thought they might exploit that fact." Piper: "the first version of that dance was OUTRAGEOUS"
Thanks to Yvonne for this great summary!
