Gifford Dream Darkens As Playboy Enters Scene

If Kathie Lee Gifford and her in-the-doghouse husband sportscaster Frank Gifford think their trials are over, they’re fantasizing.

Suzen Johnson, the 47-year-old former flight attendant with whom Frank enjoyed a brief affair, is scheduled to reveal all in the November Playboy magazine.

Not only is Johnson set to be on the cover, but she’ll do a nude spread inside. And she promises to “discuss her relationship with Frank,” magazine spokeswoman Elizabeth Norris told USA Today.

Johnson and Gifford were caught on videotape in a hotel room. In May, the tabloid Globe published photos of the rendezvous.

Since then, Kathie Lee has been featured on the cover of virtually every women’s magazine this side of Alpha Centauri.

Love older women, especially those with fancy cars

According to the Miami Herald, Jonathan Taylor Thomas (“Home Improvement,” “Wild America”) is seeing an older woman. He’s 15, she’s 16. And that’s not all. Jessica Bowman, who stars on “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” is a head taller than Thomas and the proud possessor of a driver’s license. She drives when they date.

Sing: ‘How can I miss you if you won’t go away?’

And through it all, The Guppy (Donna) remains a virgin

How does “Beverly Hills 90210” stay in business. By keeping it all in the family, apparently.
