better. I’ll always live here.” Thanks, Kid! But I
wouldn’t say the whole city has been “devastated.”
SPEAKING OF exagger-
ation for effect, I stumbled upon a vintage quote from Michael Jackson that brought a smile.
“Let me put it this way,” he
said. “If all the people in Hol- lywood who have had plastic surgery went on vacation, there wouldn’t be a person left in town.”
Beyoncé’s commercials for
her “Heat” perfume have been banned from British televi- sion because the people who make such decisions decided it was too steamy.
It has been reported that
Fantasia was prepared to settle out of court with Paula Cooke, the woman who filed a lawsuit claiming that Fantasia interfered with her marriage to Antwaun Cooke. (Even though they were estranged.)
As part of the settlement,
the plaintiff wanted Fantasia to acknowledge that she was aware of the fact that Cooke was married. But Fantasia insists she didn’t know, and therefore the proceedings came to a halt.
David Hyde Pierce, 51, best
known for his long run on the TV series “Frasier,” made a wry observation about being older: “I look at the reruns and I realize that we (his character, Niles Crane) are no longer the same age. There’s nothing crueler than syndi- cated television!”
BETCHA DIDN’T KNOW…
That the legendary Jackie Wilson’s full name was Jack Leroy Wilson Jr.
MEMORIES: “Can I
Get a Witness?” (Marvin Gaye), “Now That We Found Love” (Heavy D & the Boyz), “Walkin’ in the Rain With the One I Love” (Love Unlimited),
“Them Changes” (Buddy Miles), “A Fool in Love” (Ike & Tina Turner), “Show and Tell” (Al Wilson), “Funkytown” (Lipps, Inc.), “Take Me Home” (Cher), “I Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love” (the Emotions), “Love Won’t Let Me Wait” (Major Harris).
