This Year's Model
Pity poor Sylvester Stallone. There are so many models and only one of him. After squiring several beauties around Hollywood, Stallone has finally found a model that suits him--reportedly on the cover of In Fashion. She's Angie Everhart. After dating for two months, they've announced their intention to wed--she for the first time, he for the third. Everhart, in that delicate catwalk-to-movie transitional phase, has just wrapped Jade, a drama starring David Caruso, and signed up for her first Stallone-like action role.
A Suit That's Taylor-Made
ELIZABETH TAYLOR hasn't been in a movie since 1988 except for a bit part in The Flintstones, but that hasn't dampened interest in two new biographies of her--or lessened Liz's outrage over one of them, C. David Heymann's Liz: An Intimate Biography of Elizabeth Taylor. The book reportedly alleges that she was given 300 prescriptions for pills in 1981 alone. Taylor's lawyer, Neil Papiano, who failed to quash an nbc mini-series based on the book, says a lawsuit is imminent "if in fact the book says what everybody says it says."
SEEN & HEARD
JOHN GRISHAM will redefine the term "celebrity lawyer" this fall, when he returns to the courtroom after a five-year hiatus for writing blockbusters like The Client and The Chamber. The author is taking on the Illinois Central Railroad on behalf of the estate of an employee who was killed while at work. He accepted the case in 1991, just after the publication of his first best seller, The Firm.
Get used to the words "DAVID BOWIE, interior decorator," because the man who pioneered the androgynous space-alien look in the '70s has collaborated with the homey English firm Laura Ashley on two wallpaper designs. They're part of an exhibition of Bowie's art that opens this week in London.
Moby Breaks the Surface
One can assume that a CD from a vegetarian libertarian Christian techno-artist who claims to be a descendant of Herman Melville's would be unbearable, right? Well, no. Everything Is Wrong, the new album from MOBY (yes, like the whale), is quite all right. Moby, whose earlier releases include Thousand, after the number of beats it has per minute, offers music to dance to, or pray to. "I call it 'emotional music,'" he says, "because it's all over the place."
