Rodman book
too raunchy
for Oprah
CHICAGO (AP) — Oprah
Winfrey is less than wild about the
raunch in Dennis Rodman’s latest
bode.
Basketball’s bad boy was
dropped from Winfrey’s show be
cause she objected to his obscenity
and sex-filled “Walk on the Wild
Side.” A taping planned for last
week was canceled.
“After reviewing Dennis
Rodman’s new book, we decided it
would be inappropriate to promote
it to our viewers,” show officials
said in a statement.
The book, Rodman’s second,
crossed the line of acceptability, a
Winfrey spokesman said Tuesday.
The Chicago Bull wrote about
his affair with a transsexual, said
he dates mostly white women be
cause black women ignored him
before he became a star and plans
to legally change his name to “Or
gasm.”
The book “isn’t for everyone,
but Rodman fans will love it,” said
Carole Baron, the president of pub
lisher Dell.
Volcano’ singes snake flick
but couldn’t surpass Peak
LU5 ANUhUis (AF) — "Vol
cano” bumped “Anaconda” from its
No. 1 perch at the box office but failed
to generate the heat of its earlier ri
val, “Dante’s Peak.”
The disaster film about a volcano
erupting in Los Angeles had $14.7
million in ticket sales in its debut, ac
cording to industry estimates Sunday.
“Dante’s Peak,” about a volcano
that destroys a small town, beat it to
the screen by two months and took in
$18.6 million, for the best February
opening ever.
“Volcano,” starring Tommy Lee
Jones, got good reviews for its lava
filled special effects. But its opening
take could have been fatter, said Tom
Sherak, chairman of 20th Century
Fox’s Domestic FilmCJroup.
“I think everybody really would
have liked to have done more,” he
said, explaining that a film’s opening
is crucial because movies tend to lose
audiences quickly these days.
“Everybody’s building and build
ing for that first weekend ... because,
you know you’re going to have a huge
falloff,” he said.
“Romy and Michele’s High School
Reunion,” starring Oscar-winner Mira
Sorvino and Lisa Kudrow as two los
ers faking success at their 10-year re
union, debuted in second place with
$7.6 million.

feminist talent
NOW from page 14
“The national NOW is in a
mega-membership drive,” she
said. “We’re giving away a free
T-shirt designed by local artist
Lil E. Ristrango with every new
member sign-up.”
— In addition to free T-shirts,
there will be a silent auction
throughout the concert. Plenty of
prizes will be given out, includ
ing gift certificates, posters, jew
elry, socially conscious bumper
stickers and buttons and other
feminist art.
The goal for the evening is
simply to have fun and reaffirm
the values of NOW.
“It’s a night for recharging
feminism, as well as for recruit
ing,” she said. “It’s a night to
connect with people you may
only see once a year. And it gives
us a chance to support businesses
who support women’s issues.”
Eldonna Ray, Lincoln’s
NOW newsletter coordinator,
said the event wasn’t only about
politics.
“We’re basically trying to
bring people together to have fun
and hear great music.”
