Eighties power pop combo Duran Duran
will tomorrow receive one of America's highest accolades: performing
at half-time at Superbowl XXXVIII.
But bassist Nick Rhodes's New York-born girlfriend, Meredith Ostrom
(right), is giving the event, held this year in Houston, a wide
berth. "My work and auditions are much more important to me than
following Nick wherever he goes," she explains. "I think it would
be a bit pathetic if all I did was slope around after the band;
I have my own career to sort out."
That career is itself at a delicate stage. "I've been spending a
lot of time in New York recently and I am being considered for the
lead in a play there," Ostrom adds. "But when I turned up to the
audition the director was a bit late and as he walked in, he slammed
his head on some stray scenery. There was blood everywhere and he
needed 17 stitches. At least I made an impression.''
