For Just A Modest Sum, He’ll Sign White Broncos

Al Cowlings and white Ford Broncos have something in common: O.J. Simpson.

Cowling, you’ll recall, was the driver of the Bronco bearing Simpson that was chased by a fleet of L.A. police cars. Now, over Labor Day, Cowlings will sit in a white Bronco and sell autographs at the International Sportscard and Memorabilia Expo in Anaheim, Calif.

Cowlings is willing to sign photos from his own football career for $20. Signatures on a football, helmet or jersey cost $25.

“I would assume he would not want to do any mug shots, or anything that he feels is negative to him,” says autograph dealer Randall Pollock. “No pictures of the crime scene, obviously.”

Using the Bronco was the brainchild of Pollock, who says pictures of the freeway chase also will be available.

With the current crop of Brit-royals so messed up, Britain is trying to do some damage control for a possible future king, the 13-year-old son of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. In a speech to media executives on Wednesday, Lord Wakeham, chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, said, “Prince William must be allowed to run, walk, study and play at Eton, free from the fear of prying cameras.”

Think what they’d save if they flew tourist

Speaking of Brit-royals, Queen Elizabeth II and her entourage will fly commercially - for the first time - when she travels to New Zealand in November. The $448,200 bill is expected to be half of what it would take her, Prince Philip and their underlings to fly (first class, of course) to Auckland if they used the royal air fleet.

Imagine the monthly bill they’d have at Wal-Mart

“The whole thing lasted five minutes,” Roseanne said of the recent caesarean birth of her son, Buck, whose father is Ben Thomas. If she’d known how easy it could be, she added, “I would have had 10 kids.”

Her husband might call it ‘One Wife to Give’

Phyllis Diller, a fan of the afternoon drama “The Young and the Restless,” told Soap Opera Digest that if she starred in her own soap it likely would be called “The Old and the Breastless.”
