To Brit-Royals, Sarah Is The New Windsor Of War

Compiled By Staff Writer Dan Web

Sarah Ferguson - aka the Duchess of York - hasn’t been making much news lately. But that’s about to change.

A book by her ex-psychic is due out soon, and the cash-strapped duchess was forced to quit legal action designed to stop publication of a book by toe-sucking, ex-lover John Bryan.

Queen Elizabeth II is said to be tired of the troublesome woman. So tired, in fact, that she’s contemplated paying the ex-wife of Prince Andrew to renounce her title and leave Britain.

And Princess Margaret slammed the duchess merely for sending her flowers. “You have done more to bring shame on the Family than ever could have been imagined,” Margaret wrote back. “How dare you discredit us like this, and how dare you send me those flowers.”

Loose talk

Chanteuse Natalie Cole on the difficulties of her life: “I don’t know what it is about me, but I think I was born to go through terrible things and then survive them.”

Lennon’s younger son reaches the age of majority: Imagine

Sean Ono Lennon turns 21 today.

So, then, are flowers out of the question?

Speaking of that book by the ex-psychic of the Duchess of York, author Madame Vasso writes that the embattled Brit-royal wasn’t the best influence on Princess Diana. The duchess gave Di “sex lessons” and once stripped to show her how to use a sex toy.

That @#!!* Bochco doesn’t give a #*&%!! about quality

They must be putting something in the potato pancakes served in Twin Falls, Idaho. We say that in response to the judgment of Lee Wagner, general manager of the town’s CBS affiliate KMVT-TV, that Stephen Bochco’s new show “Public Morals” is “a blatant attempt to shock.” Wagner agreed to run the program following some changes. “The patronizing use of locker-room language at every opportunity has been eliminated,” Wagner told TV Guide. “The second episode even makes an attempt at having a moral message.”

We’d say she’s about, oh, several million dollars a movie

US magazine decided to ask Julia (remember her?) Roberts whether Sandra Bullock could be “The Next Julia Roberts.” And the question didn’t quite take. “Maybe it makes me a shallow person, but I have never given Sandra Bullock’s career a moment’s thought,” Roberts sniffed. “I’ve never seen any of her movies, so I honestly don’t know what she’s about.”

Of course, she’s auditioning for an Ab Roller infomercial

While some actresses are busy elbowing each other off the top rungs of Hollywood fortune, others will do virtually anything to stay there. Melanie Griffith, for example, left the hospital just three hours after giving birth to her daughter by film star Antonio Banderas. And she was seen biking in Malaga, Spain, a week later.
