Forgive Us If Expression Blowhard Comes To Mind

Kenny G has shown he can carry a note - for 45 minutes and 47 seconds, to be exact.

Kenny G set a record Monday for the longest-held note - an E flat on his saxophone, said Mark C. Young, Guinness Book of Records publisher.

“We never had a category like that before, but he wanted to do it so we put some rules and regulations together, got some witnesses, set the stopwatch and he did it,” Young said.

Rules were that the pitch remain consistent and that the volume not vary by more than 5 decibel degrees in either direction.

The musician passed his original goal of 30 minutes by using a circular breathing technique. “He eventually was forced to stop because of all the saliva (and condensation) that built up inside the instrument,” Young said.

“The monotony of it was also a pretty big problem.”

Loose talk

Camryn Manheim, who plays a full-figured lawyer on “The Practice,” is miffed the ABC show’s producers seem to give geeky boyfriends to her character, Ellenor Frutt: “You know, ‘The fat girl always gets the nerd.”’

Andy Williams turns 70 today.

Once around the block, for old times’ sake

Tony Danza has hailed his former “Taxi” co-star Carol Kane to reprise her role as Simka for tonight’s episode of his NBC sitcom, “The Tony Danza Show” (8:30 p.m. on KHQ-6).

“To have her on the show sort of legitimizes me and makes me feel better about the whole works,” Danza, 46, told People magazine. Danza, who hops a cab ride from Kane’s character, says he would love to revisit his checkered-cab past in a reunion with Danny DeVito, Judd Hirsch, Marilu Henner and the rest of the crew from the 1978-83 sitcom.

Thanks to wrestler, Andy wore halo around his neck

Meanwhile, DeVito’s Jersey Films is in the planning stages of a biopic of the late comedian Andy Kaufman, also a “Taxi” regular. Kaufman died of lung cancer in 1984.

“I loved him. He’s never been too far away from my thoughts,” DeVito told Premiere magazine. “We’re gonna try and make it a unique experience for everybody who loved him, but in a truthful way, so it’s not like ‘Saint Andy.’ We want to make sure it’s Andy.”

Self-respect ends where this soup line begins

Al Yeganeh, model for the “Seinfeld” show’s Soup Nazi, opened his Manhattan biz for the season this week, but he’s ticked by all the media types recording the event. He shouted “Trash media!” at them and encouraged a line of 100 people waiting to sample his goods to yell at them to go away, noting, “They don’t pay rent.”

His soups, sold on 55th Street off Eighth Avenue in Manhattan, go for $6 to $20 a serving and include bread, fruit, a chocolate candy and a moist towelette.

One customer felt the burn of Yeganeh’s anger: “I asked him when he was going to have lobster bisque. He made me pay $2 for extra bread.”
