What’s next for the ubiquitous, strangelydressed, and part Cherokee maiden Cher? Seems after the quick, merciful death of her Beverly Hills punk band, Black Rose, Cher’s decided to give Broadway a chance to display her talents—she’s attending classes with a musical theatre coach. So far Lauren Bacall reportedly riot runnin’ scared...
Actual woman now (bosoms aren’t everything) Brooke Shields is taking driving lessons, like most 16-year-olds.

What hath Fred Astaire wrought? Seems Fred’s started a marrying craze among Hollywood’s older folk; the dapper 80-year-old married a woman in her 30’s last year; now Cary Grant, 77, has gone and done it with former publicist Barbara Harris, who’s in her 30’s too.
