after the incident, said he was entrapped by
overzealous police April 7 and wants to tell
his side of the story:
He said he was in his car when “I saw
this guy cruising, an undercover cop who
was basically pretending to cruise. He was
very cute; he wasn’t Karl Malden. I didn’t
get out of my car until everyone left the
park. Then I followed him in. I don’t want

Michael pleaded no contest to lewd con

DIMaggio’s request:
I want to go home
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (AP) — Joe DiMaggio
drew a smile from his doctor Thursday with
a feisty request.
“I want to get the hell out of here and go
home,” the former Yankees slugger said.
The 84-year-old DiMaggio continued to
show improvement after developing a lung
infection as he battles lung cancer.
“Thing are looking up today, but who
knows what will happen tomorrow,” said Dr.
Earl Barron, DiMaggio’s cardiologist.
DiMaggio had no fever and his white
blood cell count was normal. He had been
unable to speak because of a tube in his tra
chea but indicated with hand gestures that
he wanted to talk, Barron said.
He had the tube capped temporarily, al
lowing DiMaggio to make his comment.
Sylvester Stallone
prepares to sell mansion
MIAMI (AP) — Moving trucks rolled up to
Sylvester Stallone’s estate to haul away ex
ercise equipment, paintings and other be
longings as he awaits completion of a deal
to sell the mansion.
The actor is living in a ho
tel room in Los Angeles,
where his new movie Detox
is being filmed, said his
spokesperson, Rosario
Kennedy.
He is not getting out of
South Florida for good,
she said.
“He still plans to make
Miami his permanent home,” Kennedy said.
Stallone put his bayfront mansion on
the market in August 1997, and is asking
$27.5 million.
London’s Orient-Express Hotels Inc. has
made a $24.7 million offer to build 200 vil
la-style rooms on the property. The deal
hinges on whether the hotelier can get zon
ing approval.
STALLONE
tracks were changing over to cas
settes,” says Ashton, setting the
scene. “It was a period of insecuri
ty but optimism.”
“The show deals with the same
issues teenagers deal with today,”
says Laura, who plays Donna, a
towering goddess who’s still one of
the boys.
“But even though the things
we’re dealing with are timeless,”
Ashton continues, “I think there
were also a lot of things different
about the ’70s.” For instance: “Kids
got a lot more flak from their par
ents. Parents could beat them and
not, like, go to jail for it.
“Kids in the ’70s didn’t have
computers and CD players,” he
adds. “They had to come up with
different ways to have fun. That’s
what the show is about: finding dif
ferent ways to have fun. And then
our parents can beat us if we have
TOO much fun.”
Actually, no beatings are ex
pected. For one thing, the parents
are too busy shopping for lava
lamps and learning disco steps.
Ever since “That ’70s Show”
premiered last August, the kids
have indeed been finding ways to
amuse themselves: sneaking out of
town to a Todd Rundgren concert;
throwing an illicit keg party in an
empty swimming pool; watching
TV in the basement, where the
swelling smoke and loopy talk are
telltale signs they are stoned.
In the meantime, the “’70s” cast
members have fused into a finely
tuned ensemble.
“I remember my first audi
tion,” says Topher Grace, who
plays Eric, the show’s spindly
Everylad. “All the kids, I knew.
And all of them knew each other.
Because they were all famous. Ex
cept for me. There was the guy
from ‘Blank’ and the girl from
‘Blank,’ and they were talking to
each other, having a great time.
And I was the total loser.”
“At my audition there was me,
and this other girl who looked like
a total cheerleader-teeny-bopper-
Hanson-lover,” Laura sniffs. “I was
like, ‘They must not know what
they want!”’
Wilmer, who plays the foreign-
exchange student Fez, says he met
Laura at their audition for Fox ex
ecs. “She was sitting there, very
cute. She was just so nice.”
“When I punch you,” says Lau
ra, “do you still think I’m nice?”
“I was a little nervous,” the
Venezuelan-born Wilmer presses
on. “I was the only Hispanic walk
ing into the audition.”
“Wilmer speaks English so well,
even though he came to our coun
try just five years ago,” Topher ob
serves. “But then he goes into char
acter, and you can’t understand
anything he’s saying and he acts
clueless. But we’re all a lot like our
characters.”
“Fez takes most things literally
and I used to do that, too,” Wilmer
concedes, “because I didn’t know
about sarcasm in English.”
“I’m a lot like Donna,” says Lau
ra. “I’m friends with a lot of guys.
Would you call me a tomboy?”
“You’re pretty butch!” Ash
ton cracks.
As if anyone would fault Eric
for the boy-girl urges that some
times override his chummy feel
ings for Donna.
When these next-door neigh
bors talk in the driveway after dark,
they don’t just talk anymore.
Laura seems at a loss to explain
the puppy-love chemistry she and
Topher generate. “We’ve kissed so
many times now,” she says, “it’s
not a big deal.”
