There are enough actors already in Drew Barrymore's family. She wanted a husband who was different.

Barrymore, 19, married Jeremy Thomas, a 31-year-old British bar owner she met only a few months ago. It was the first marriage for each.

"Thank God he's not an actor. He's a working man," Barrymore said.

Barrymore, the youngest member of the Barrymore acting dynasty, has appeared in movies such as "E.T. The Extraterrestrial" and "The Amy Fisher Story."

LaToya Jackson sang pop for them in Paris at the Moulin Rouge. Now she's turning her attention to American music.

"She will be the new country western heartthrob," her husband and manager Jack Gordon predicted Thursday.

Jackson is not signed to a recording contract, but she is in Nashville recording a country album this week. It will include a duet with Lee Greenwood titled "It's What You Don't Say That Says It All."

Gordon described the album material as "very up, very country, very Garth Brooks-like."

The much-rumored reunion tour of the Eagles will begin May 27 in Irvine, Calif. No other dates and sites yet but the boys - Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Joe Walsh, Don Felder and Timothy B. Schmit - will make stops in North America, Europe and Japan.
