...material girl has been cast as a missionary, and her bad-boy husband, somewhat closer to type, plays a raffish hustler. But the real surprises in Shanghai Surprise have come off the set. Upon arriving in the Portuguese colony of Macao, Madonna, 27, and Sean Penn, 25, fled a welcoming crowd, only to be ambushed outside their hotel room by Hong Kong Standard Correspondent Leonel Borralho. A long scuffle with Penn and bodyguards ensued, after which Borralho sued for $1 million. Two days later, reporters on stakeout took off after the couple, and the resulting car chase created a huge...
...Paris, Capa refined his skills as a street-wise hustler who could and did get away with everything less than murder. He stole, lied, and "shot the moon," which was Capa's euphemism for skipping out of hotels without paying...

The raunchy magazine's lampoon of a Campari liquor ad, which normally features celebrities discussing their "first time," had the teetotaling leader of the Moral Majority saying that he always got "sloshed" before preaching and that he had lost his virginity in an outhouse with his mother. Falwell used the ad in a direct-mail solicitation to outraged supporters who raised $800,000, but he also sued...
...said in interviews that Summerfolk's very sprawl and lack of discipline struck him as quintessentially American. He believed that with only a few word changes, it could be set in the U.S. of 1984. That was his first mistake. Despite such up-to-date props as Hustler magazine and barbecue aprons that say KISS THE CHEF, the play remains obdurately Russian and an unmistakable creation of its time...
