She'll give up the train, maybe even the stage coach, but never, ever, the palanquin ADAM ANT '80s rocker sent to the shrinks for waving a gun at a London pub. He used to do that in feathers and makeup and called it a "video" MEL LASTMAN Toronto mayor in trouble after shaking hands with a Hell's Angel. He says he'd been hanging with Nazis...
