KISS & TELL

KISS & TELL

by Jaan Uhelszki

Iggy has imported his own Sony Walkwoman to our shores. Object: Matrimony. Mr. Pop, how-you-say, popped the question just three weeks after meeting his Japanese sweetie on his recent tour of Nippon. When's the big day? Just as soon as Iggy's little Ebi completes her course at Berlitz—in English! What do you mean how did she know that he popped the question if she doesn't speaka the English?... The Ig assures us that he can afford a wife, since he is currently receiving $142.50 a day from his "China Girl" royalties (Is that all?)...Nothing Like The Wrath of Two Women Scorned: Britt Eklund, infamous ex of Rod Stewart, and Billy Gaff, equally infamous ex-manager of Stewart are going into business together. NO, not that kind of business, the fashion business— according to Melody Maker they will be concentrating on "sensuous clothing" and the first results of their joint partnership are described as sexy—loose fitting, and peekaboo...Two Dog Night: Linda McCartney is working on a solo album with Lerie Lovich helping out on the background vocals. Maybe they should ask Yoko Ono along, and really set back modern cosmetology 20 years...A zealous advocate of said cosmetology, Adam Ant, finally revealed that he is forced to wear contact lenses to be able to see the faithful back in Tier 32, row RR, seat 15. But then we knew he was always concerned about his Vanity...Here She Comes, Miss Iron Maiden? You know how radio stations are about contests— well Buffalo, New York's WZIR has learned their lesson. They held a "Miss Iron Maiden Contest," and the lucky prize winner was invited to dance onstage during the band's performance (some prize!). Unfortunately during the show, the girl was partially disrobed by one of the band members (which one, which one?), and Miss Iron Maiden is now suing her namesakes. No dummies, WFBQ in Indianapolis contented itself with giving away two Iron Maiden leather jackets when the band came to town...Two Queens and the Jacksons: Michael Jackson will be putting in an appearance on the upcoming Jacksons LP singing a duet with Freddie Mercury...Oh, the Price of Fame: that effervescent Boy George about town had to put up with a bit of abuse in a Boston eatery at the hands of an angry father (no, not his father, stupid!). B.G. was loudly insulted and a fight nearly broke out as an irate father tried to restrain his daughter from getting an autograph.. .Go-Go's Upbeat: There are some murmurs ahead that Charlotte's condition may have psychological origins—but so far there is still no change, and she is out of the line-up, as Jane Wiedlen's on-again off-again boy friend, Tim Scott fills the slot as guitarist...Ray "Idol Maker" Sharkey has a part in the new movie based on the life of Gene Vincent. No, Ray's not playing Gene, but one of Vincent's band—the Blue Caps. Prince isn't playing Gene Vincent either, but is starring as Little Richard. What do you mean, why didn't they get Little Richard to play Little Richard...John Travolta (who's not playing Gene either and isn't even in the movie) has stopped pining over the starring role in the life story of the late great lead singer of the Doors, Jim Morrison. Instead, Travolta is making another Brian De Palma flick titled Fire. Although it's not exactly a bio-pic of Morrison, it's not exactly not, either. Travolta will play a selfdestructive rock star who dies a sensational death on foreign soil. Do you remember when Kiss & Tell informed you about the Johnny Ramone/ Joey Ramone tiff over Johnny's girlfriend Cynthia "Roxy" Whitney? Don't say J told yowH| so, but this is thej||L same femme that caused the fl$lt between Seth Mtcklau, and Johnny th-it. landed the Ramone J on the critflal IIM What do you suppose ft ts that Cynthia has? No, the religious sweepstakes is: Vpa M Morrison, a confirmed. Scientologist, Ian Hunter, art alleged born-again/ and Glen Frey is only posing It seenvthe former Eagle donned/^i^^^^W suit, quoted from the*Bible, and presented Elel^^'6%^:^ with, if •. you'll excuse the expression, a God-awful album of serious songwriting complemented by swelling strings. Outtakes, get it? Needless to say, Elektra let him out of his record deal. Kinda like beating the draft, huh Glen?...Is it true Stevie Wonder is seeing a lot of Dyan Cannon?...The Other Side Of The Story: Kajagoogoo Update—It now seems that maybe Limahl didn't want to leave the band, it was a matter of that he had to (you mean he got Nick's pregnant?). "I'm hurt, so hurt," Limahl told Melody Maker. "Kajagoogoo was my life and suddenly to be told in a phone call, it's over...I've been told by a very good source that the manager of the band threatened to leave unless I was sacked, so they got rid of me and then they came out with all this crap about musical differences...They'll never sound like Kajagoogoo did because my voice was the identifiable thing and that's why I think they should change their name. I'll sound more like Kajagoogoo than they -willllsMaube they should call Duran,

Tush Incensed1 A hotel in Boston has charged Peter Tosh $125 ^^S^^st of calling a fire truck mner burning incense and smoke set off a fire detector in his rooms. Maybe he should have shared...A-E-I-O-U who? Ebn Ozn real names are Leben and Rosen. Maybe they're trying to dodge American Express... Remember, if you're going to Kiss & Tell, Kiss & Tell me! #
