"Unfortunately, some of the items are designed around a romantic moment between her and Burt," New York magazine reports a source saying.
"For example, Loni was planning to say, `Here's a likeness of the necklace Burt gave me when we were on a gondola in Venice.' Right now, that would go over like a Michael Jackson line of children's wear."

A dog-pound mutt whose best tricks had been knocking people over and peeing on the floor overcame his unruly past to be named "Assist Dog of the Year" for his work helping a multiple sclerosis sufferer.
Joey, a 5-year-old, was in St. Louis last week with owner, Susan Duncan of Bellevue, Wash., to attend the national convention of the Delta Society, which works to improve human health through animals and nature.
Duncan rescued Joey from the pound and gave him a second chance despite his lack of discipline.
At first, Joey built a reputation for fence-jumping and knocking people over. And he wasn't housebroken.
Now he wears a backpack and helps support Duncan when the degenerative nerve disease makes it difficult for her to get around.
Duncan trained the 115-pound Joey to use the power that once sent people sprawling to help her stand. As she rises, she holds onto the backpack to steady herself. He places his head under her chin and helps push her up.
She kept Edward Kennedy Jr. waiting at the altar for nearly 20 minutes Sunday, but eventually Katherine Anne Gershman arrived to marry the son of the Massachusetts senator.
When Gershman finally arrived at the church and started down the aisle, an eager Kennedy rushed to meet her halfway and give her a kiss.
The 34-year-old bride, an assistant professor in clinical psychiatry at Yale University, has a reputation for running late, said Melody Miller, a spokeswoman for the Kennedy family.
