Don't count him out yet, though. Tyson can try again in 90 days.
Tyson is serving a six-year sentence for rape at the Indiana Youth Center. With time off for good behavior, Tyson could be released by May 1995, and he can shave three months off that if he passes the test.
Comedian Bobcat Goldthwait was detained in Sioux City, Iowa, Thursday after a store clerk accused him of shoplifting a pack of Rolaids.
"When the clerk said she wanted to search my pockets, I told her I would rather have dinner and drinks first," said the comic. He was let go after a police search found nothing. "When I snap and start robbing things," Goldthwait said, "it's not going to be Rolaids."
Loni Anderson, in next week's TV Guide, spells out her take in the Burt Reynolds sweepstakes.
She gets $1.9 million toward the purchase of a new house and $300,000 from the sale of their North Carolina shelter. The actor also pays her $11,000 a month alimony when she's not working, and $15,000 monthly in support for their son, Quinton. He also pays 60 percent of her lawyers' bills. Plus, she'll get a piece of TV's "Evening Shade," Anderson said, "after Burt pays back his $4 million loan from CBS."
She added: "Honestly, I don't want to take him to the cleaners."
Ike Turner has persuaded someone to marry him again. In an interview with Geraldo Rivera, Turner, 62, says his intended is 31-year-old Jeanette Bazell. They hope to do the deed in June.
Turner was scathingly portrayed in ex-wife Tina Turner's book and subsequent film "What's Love Got To Do With It." Turner has admitted to beating Tina during their tumultuous years together but says the abuse "has been exaggerated." He said he has never laid a hand in anger on his current squeeze.
Elizabeth Taylor, 62, is expected to be hospitalized for a week, followed by eight weeks of recuperation after undergoing hip replacement Thursday in Los Angeles.
"There were no surgical complications," her doctor said. An arthritic condition in Taylor's left hip was aggravated when she fell in January. She'll use crutches or a walker for three to six months.
John DeLorean's next car might be a prison van if he ever returns to Michigan.
An Oakland County judge issued an arrest warrant for DeLorean, saying the former automaker failed to pay $125,000 in court-ordered attorneys' fees.
The civil warrant means DeLorean could be jailed if he returns to Michigan. DeLorean has missed three court dates this year - most recently on Wednesday - to explain why he hasn't paid.
"I don't know anything about it," DeLorean said Thursday from his estate in Far Hills, N.J.
The contested fees stem from DeLorean's 1984 lawsuit against his own DeLorean Motor Co., in which he claimed unsuccessfully that the bankrupt company owed him money.
