Rosalind Helen Virginia Carter of Los Angeles, daughter of "Designing Women" star Dixie Carter, has been named queen of the 65th Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival.

But famous members of the queen's family - her mother; her stepfather, actor Hal Holbrook; and her father, New York publisher Arthur Carter - won't be accompanying her, Carter said.

The coronation ceremony for Carter, 22, is set for May 1. The festival will run from April 29-May 3.

Cardinal Bernard F. Law says the Roman Catholic Church considers Sen. Edward Kennedy married to Joan Kennedy, and he needs an annulment before he can wed Washington lawyer Victoria Reggie in the church.

The Kennedys divorced in 1982.

Law said Tuesday he has met with the senator and Joan Kennedy, but he would not say whether they applied for an annulment of their 22-year marriage.

Without an annulment, Law said, Kennedy would be considered estranged from the church if he remarried.

Kennedy plans to marry Reggie later this year.

A Kennedy spokesman declined to say whether Kennedy would choose to go ahead and marry without an annulment.

Country star Garth Brooks says the streets are full of talented performers who can't get record deals.

The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers awarded Brooks its Voice of Music award Wednesday at the opening of its new office complex in Nashville, Tenn.

"To the people of ASCAP I say, `Take care of the people that feed you - the writers,' " Brooks said. "You and I both know there are people on the street here that can put me to shame, that can't get a record deal."
