...philanderer's nightmare unfolds in all its gruesome comedy. Rich, handsome Simon Longworth sneaks away to Paris for a weekend with his secretary.

Still ahead: the Louvre, Fontainebleau and a ballet...
Merely showing up for the event at Miami's Fontainebleau hotel was enough to cause a pimple. But Philip Michael Thomas, 36, and Don Johnson, 36, stars of the new TV show Miami Vice, risked complexion and cavities to do their part at a two-day chocoholics' festival. The pair took turns on a spring-loaded seat over a 400-gal. vat of chocolate syrup, while a bevy of young girls lobbed baseballs at the target for $3 a pop. After three splashdowns each in the high-calorie goo, the men were just too delicious for the girls...
