...Gold Rush II hasn't quite happened. Nobody will go broke; some actors, directors and producers are raking in fees that would make Jose Canseco envious. But the ticket lines are shorter. Variety's Art Murphy, grand statmaster of movie grosses, projects this summer's take as $1.85 billion, down 9% from last year's.

But Starr and Scott are way ahead of him. Starr's 12-year-old son is opening for the New Kids as part of a trio called the Perfect Gentlemen, whose debut album is titled Rated PG (Senator Helms, take note). We may also look forward to the re-emergence of Tiffany, whose album and merchandising are now being handled by Scott. "We'll try to follow...
