Take one


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.
