Duran
Duran's Simon Le Bon recently took shore leave from the Whitbread
Round the World yacht race to shoot a music video. Directed by Russell
(Highlander) Mulcahy, it's a whodunit spoof based on a cut from
the Arcadia LP. Says Le Bon, who formed a spin off group called
Arcadia last year with Duran members Nick Rhodes and Roger
Taylor: ''Nick and Russell came up with the story while I
was away on the boat, and they must have said, 'Let's be rotten
to the guy.' '' Le Bon is ''generally mistreated'' in the video,
Rhodes jokes. ''His forehead goes into a bowl of soup.
He has the ass ripped out of his trousers by wolves. A blowpipe
fires at him from a tiger's mouth. All because he went on the boat
race.'' Le Bon, who's back at sea for the final leg of the race,
will be on deck in May for the first Duran Duran album to be recorded
in two years. . . . Meanwhile, Rhodes and wife Julie have
another project in development: Their first baby is due in August.
