Carson and Letterman crack him up. But no body could make Jay Leno laugh like his mom. “My mother had a ‘Gracie Allen’ type of hu mor, a knack for unfor gettable one-liners that left you guessing whether she was kidding or seri ous,” Leno wrote in the May 17 issue of Family Circle. Leno’s mother, Catherine, was aban doned by her parents and immigrated from Scot land by herself at age 15. Her sense of humor helped get her through the hard times, Leno writes. She died last June. She always took her role as Jay’s mother se riously, “The Tonight Show” star said. “Once after she saw me perform my mono logue, she said, ‘I just wish he wouldn’t slouch. All that money he makes, and he’s slouching on national TV,’” Leno said. Almost wedding bells for Vanilla Ice and Madonna NEW YORK (AP) — It could have been bigger than Tom and Roseanne, gaudier than The Donald and Marla — a wedding of the century uniting Madonna and rapper Vanilla Ice. It almost happened, Ice says in the May issue of Spin magazine. “It was pretty serious. I dug her,” the 25-year-old rapper says of their eight-month romance. Well, not always. “She would change personalities a lot,” he said. “Sometimes she acts like a shy little girl, but all of a sudden she’d change and start yelling and you’d hate her.” But Ice learned a little about image-chang- Madonna ing from Madonna. His new album, “Mind Blowin’,” features a dreadlocked Iceman doing gangsta rap. That’s the real Ice, he says; his old image was a phony. “They made me to look like Evel Knievel, you know?” he said. “Some teen idol or some thing. And that just ain’t me.” Grace Slick faces jail or rehab for waving shotgun SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Rock ’n’ roll is here to stay but Grace Slick is going to have to drop out for a while — six months in jail or a rehab program. The former lead singer of Jefferson Airplane pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of bran dishing a shotgun at police officers on March 5. Officers had gone to her home in Tiburon after a neighbor complained that a drunken woman was firing a gun. She accepted a plea bargain that reduced felony and misdemeanor charges of her arrest to a single misdemeanor. That reduced her po tential jail time from three years in state prison to six to 12 months in county jail. She could avoid doing jail time if Superior Court Judge William Stephens paroles her to a six-month residential treatment program for al coholism. Sentencing is scheduled for June 6. Howard Rollins to take break from acting for jail CONYERS, Ga. (AP) — Howard Rollins’ acting career is on hiatus again — for six months in jail. And for two years, he was ordered to stay away from the eastern Georgia communities where his former television series, “In the Heat of the Night,” is filmed. “The court feels you need a change of scenery,” Judge William Todd said Tuesday in ordering the six-month sentence. Rollins pleaded guilty to driving under the influence of cocaine and driving with a sus pended license. “I’m guilty,” Rollins said. “I broke the law. That is the bottom line.” Rollins, who was nominated for an Acade- Yeager my Award for his role in “Ragtime,” has served 82 days in jail here on traffic offenses. He will spend at least 90 days in jail on the latest sentence. Yeager confesses sickness after first plane ride SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Even people with the ultimate right stuff can lose their lunch. Gen. Chuck Yeager, the first man to break the sound barrier, says he got airsick the first time he flew. “I never saw an air plane until I was 18 years old,” said Yeager, who is in Australia on a speaking tour. “It was 1941 and I joined the Army Air Corps when I came out of school. “I finally rode in one and got sick, and then applied for pilot training.” Yeager, 71, broke the sound barrier in 1947 and said he plans to do it again in 1997, the 50th anniversary of his historic supersonic flight. “That’s a goal I set for myself about 30 to 40 years ago,” he said. “I will keep flying for as long as I can.” Haleys widow to complete his two books KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Alex Haley’s widow won a share of his estate and the right to complete his two unfinished books. “It’s a glorious day, is what it is,” Myran Haley said after Tuesday’s verdict. Completion of both works would be “a dream come true,” she said. Haley, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of “Roots: The Saga of an American Family,” died in 1992. He was 70. He left three books unfinished: one which was later published and turned into a TV miniseries and another was an autobiography. BOOK BUYBACK GOING ON NOW!
