Mike Meyers Gets Personal

Mike Meyers wants to publically apologize to all high-heel wearing women everywhere.
"To all the gals I want to say, 'How do you do it?'", the actor says. "I did a comedy routine last night with Heidi Klum where I put on her eight inch heels and my calves are killing me! She had these things on and she said, 'Ow, my feet hurt,' and I said, 'Oh they can't hurt that much.' They hurt that much."
Meyers is hot on the trail of promoting his new film The Love Guru, which c0-stars Jessica Alba, Vern Troyer and Justin Timberlake whose role as Jacques Grande is unforgettable--to say the least.
"I'm man enough to admit that I have a man crush," Meyers says of Timberlake. "But I put it to the table, would you not have a man crush on Justin Timberlake? He's got zero percent body fat, he is the nicest dude you'll ever meet, he does his homework. I send him the script and he gave me back five pages of notes--all of which made it better than what was written."
Not that he's playing favorites. The master mind behind the characters Austin Powers, Wayne's World and Dr. Evil (to name a few) also wants to make it clear he's a big fan of his female co-star in the film.

"She Jessica Alba is unbelievably talented, a great comedian, down-to-earth, lovely, lovely, lovely," he says. "Honestly, when she would come on set, people would audibly gasp at how beautiful she is. She would come on set 'Hey everybody,' and it would be, 'Ahhh!'"
Meyers continues, "There's a great parable...If you bring the enthusiasm and hire very, very smart people, you can make a beautiful soup. That's what working with people like Justin Timberlake and Jessica Alba and Vern Troyer brings."
