Chatter


Good Looks, Bad Manners Nick Rhodes, the keyboardist for Duran Duran who sets teenyboppers screaming wherever he goes, went to a fashion show at L.A.'s pricey Gianni Versace boutique, where his fiancee, Julie Ann Friedman, was modeling. Afterward they posed for photographers. He wore a Claude Montana linen suit, a thin pink leather tie and plenty of face makeup; she sported a $795 cotton sailor suit Nick brought out of the Versacre collection. Then one avid Rhodes fan pushed in front of the cameras: Britt Ekland, the ex-girlfriend of Rod Stewart who recently married Slim Jim Phantom of the Stray Cats. "I don't want her in the picture with me," Nick announced rudely. When someone asked why, the event's publicist answered, "Everyone knows she's a groupie." Just then a flood of fans entered, so Nick and his gal retreated through a freight elevator. Wearing an appropriate pout, Britt stayed behind.
