It Won’t Follow Them All Over, The Globe

Compiled By Staff Writer Rick Bo

Honeymooners John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy fled from Turkey to Greece on Monday with a flock of photogs in tow - but none from the tabloid that first tracked them down, The Globe.

Globe bulb-poppers snapped shots of the newlyweds lounging poolside at a luxury hotel in Istanbul, where Kennedy reenacted their hand-kissing wedding photo, and eating breakfast in Izmir. There, John-John approached the paparazzi and said, “I hope you aren’t going to follow us everywhere.”

As it turns out, all he had to do was ask.

“John Kennedy personally asked our news team to allow him to enjoy his honeymoon,” said Tony Frost, editor of the Florida-based Globe, “and I am delighted to honor his request.”

Loose talk

Paul Newman, on the next product in his Newman’s Own line (in People magazine): “Ladies’ lingerie. Maybe a signature series: Newman’s Own Panty Hose. Lingerie that you use with salsa instead of chips.”

Birthday cake? Actually, he’d prefer a pie

Don McLean turns 51 today.

Hugh was her biggest public works project

An arrest warrant has been issued for Hugh Grant hooker Divine Brown, who failed to appear in a Las Vegas court Monday to face prostitution charges from a Sept. 8 arrest outside the MGM Grand Hotel. However, Brown found time for a recent appearance on the “Judge Judy” TV show (think “People’s Court”), in which a former New York family court judge ruled she did not have to pay one-third of her proceeds to her ex-pimp because it’s “against public policy.”

He must’ve thought he could go in on the sly

Sylvester Stallone reportedly took time out from filming his upcoming “Copland” for a half-hour visit to a Teaneck, N.J., hospital emergency room. “He was here as a patient, was treated and released,” a nursing supervisor confirmed, saying she could release no further information. Stallone’s publicist denied all.

Or at least make a half-hearted attempt at it

Tiny Tim was reported in good spirits at a Massachusetts hospital after suffering a heart attack during a ukelele concert on Saturday. The 64-year-old singer, who had put off medical tests after feeling chest pain in the past, was expected to be released after a week’s stay. Said his agent: “He’s a trouper. He wants to go out and entertain.”

He’s fully prepared to take on his archenemy

Retired Scottish teacher Ronald McDonald is threatening to sue the McDonald’s hamburger chain if it doesn’t change the name of its frizzy-haired pitchman. “I wish to register a complaint about my name being commandeered by a clown,” wrote the real McDonald. “The prefix ‘Mc’ and the name ‘McDonald’ have been used in Scotland and spread worldwide many centuries before your firm was ever in existence.”
