"Bugsy" stars Warren Beatty and Annette Bening are the parents of a girl, but publicists for the stars are withholding an announcement, a source said Friday.The 8-pound, 11-ounce girl was delivered by Caesarean section in a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday morning, 13 days past the due date, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. Beatty, 54, who is not married to Bening, reportedly was with her during the birth.
The name of the baby wasn't disclosed.
Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum received a large collection of Jimi Hendrix memorabilia on the eve of the late guitarist's induction into the hall.
The collection includes reel-to-reel outtakes from studio sessions, videotapes of concert performances and three pieces of clothing belonging to Hendrix, including a custom-made leather jacket.
Hendrix died Sept. 18, 1970, while on a European tour. He and his band, The Experience, are among the artists to be inducted into the hall in ceremonies in New York next week.
Others to be inducted: Johnny Cash, Booker T & The MGs and the British rock group Yardbirds, which produced three well-known rock guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page.
Model Christie Brinkley is being sued for $12 million by husband Billy Joel's former business manager, who says she got him fired because he drew up the couple's prenuptial agreement.
Frank Weber, the brother of Joel's ex-wife, was the singer's business manager from 1980 through August 1989.
Weber claimed in court papers that Brinkley urged Joel to fire him because she "harbored ill feelings and malice" toward him over his work on the prenuptial agreement.
"It was like being hit in the head with a boomerang, a total surprise," says comic Richard Lewis of 20th Century Fox TV's decision Thursday to end production prematurely - and permanently - on his ABC "Anything But Love" series.
"We had a full season commitment of 22 episodes from ABC," Lewis said in Hollywood. "To have my own team [20th TV] pull the plug was like making it to the World Series only to have the manager say, `Don't take the field.' "
Sources say the studio had concluded that the show, which also stars Jamie Lee Curtiss, would not be profitable in syndication. For now, Lewis is going to concentrate on his big-screen film career. He's got his first feature film, "Once Upon a Crime," due out March 20.
Even Richard Dreyfuss has to make a living.
So the 44-year-old actor backed out of the opportunity of a lifetime - playing Bacchus in a pre-Mardi Gras parade - when he landed a part on Broadway for the same date.
Dreyfuss agreed last year to lead the parade, staged by the Krewe of Bacchus two days before Mardi Gras. Those plans were upstaged by his part in the play "Death and the Maiden," also starring Glenn Close and Gene Hackman. Mike Nichols is directing the play, to open in late March.
