ject will receive a $1,000 donation to help eliminate Iodine Deficiency
Disorder, which affects 28 million people a year.
NEW YORK (AP) — Leonar-
do DiCaprio made one young
woman’s wish come true.
The “Titanic” heartthrob paid a
private visit Thursday to Sang
Lan, the 17-year-old Chinese
gymnast who was paralyzed at the
Goodwill Games.
Sang, who has been nearly
immobile since she broke her
neck last week during a warmup
vault, revealed this week she’d
love to meet the 23-year-old actor.
She even learned some English, in
case he showed up. She can say,
“Hi, how are you?”
DiCaprio visited his fan at a
Manhattan rehabilitation clinic .
Thursday evening. The two met
alone for about an hour, said Mel
Granick, a spokesman for Mount
Sinai Rehabilitation Institute.
Police want to
question Coleman
HAWTHORNE, Calif. (AP) -
Police want to question “Diff’rent
Strokes” star Gary Coleman over
allegations he punched a woman
in the eye after signing an auto-
graph for her.
Witnesses told police Coleman
gave the woman his autograph in
a uniform shop Thursday. When
she asked him to write something
to her son, Coleman allegedly
retused and handed the paper
back with a racial comment, said
police Lt. James Mclnemy.
“She made a comment about his
acting ability, and he punched her
right in the eye,” Mclnemy said.
A bystander broke up the fight.
Shop owner Rosemary Jones
said the actor told the woman she
had an attitude and she replied,
“That’s why you were a child star
and never an adult star.” Then
Coleman swung at the woman,
Jones said.
Detectives were trying to con-
tact Coleman “to get his version,”
Mclnemy said.
Coleman, 30, found fame as a
child star on “Diff’rent Strokes,” a
sitcom that ran from 1978-86, and
then saw his fortunes wane.
McCartney keeps up
animal rights work
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) —Paul
McCartney wants people to
know he’s keeping up the animal
rights work that he and his wife,
Linda, began years ago.
The former Beatle said some
people have wondered about his
own commitment to the cause,
since Linda took a more visible
role that included promoting ani-
mal rights and marketing her own
meat-free dishes. She died at 56
from breast cancer in April.
McCartney, also a vegetarian,
told Animal Times — the quarter-
ly magazine of the animal rights
group People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals—he is
committed to “keep this torch
burning.”
McCartney said he’s been sus-
pected of being “a secret meat-
eater” but “that’s not the case.”
“Animal rights is too good an
idea for the next century to be
suppressed,” he added.
The magazine is due out shortly
before what would have been
Linda’s birthday, Sept. 24.
Tucker files million
dollar lawsuit
PHILADELPHIA (AP)-
Gangsta rap critic C. DeLores
Tucker has filed a multimillion-
dollar defamation lawsuit against
dozens of newspapers and media
outlets, accusing them of distort-
ing claims she made against the
estate of the late rapper Tupac
Shakur.
Mrs. Tucker, who claimed
Shakur’s lyrics contained lewd
references to her, said news out-
lets erroneously reported that she
and her husband filed suit against
Shakur “on the sole basis that
lewd lyrics destroyed their sex
lives.”
Mrs. Tucker has said the loss of
consortium referred to in the 1997
suit had nothing to do with sex,
but with “advice, society, com-
panionship, i.e., defendants’ effect
upon the ‘family union.’”
In her federal lawsuit filed
Wednesday, Mrs. Tucker, chair-
woman of the National Political
Congress of Black Women, and
her 70-year-old husband, William,
said news organizations “distorted
and misrepresented” her earlier
lawsuit. The suit demands $1 mil-
lion from each of 130 defendants.
Hayes sells his little
log cabin
MIDDLEBURG, Ohio (AP) -
If you’ve always wanted a gray
bathtub and scarlet sink, the little
log cabin once owned by ©hio
State football coach Woody
Hayes might catch your eye.
It’s for sale, and the asking price
is $49,000.
The hilltop cabin, in the middle
of200-acre farm about 90 miles
east of Columbus, hasn’t been
used since Hayes died March 12, -
1987.
Besides the bathroom, there are
other clues the cabin belonged to
the Buckeyes coach. A small red-
and-white rug with a large numer-
al “1” sits at the foot of a leather
armchair near the fireplace. Two
scarlet-and-gray lawn chairs with
“H” on them are propped against
a wall.
The cabin has all utilities but
one: a telephone.
Man sues rocker for
drunk driving
LOS ANGELES (AP)-
Singer Eddie Money was sued by
a man who said the “Two Tickets
Sunrise/Sunset
Saturday, August 1
Sunrise: 6:37 a.m.
Sunset: 8:18 p.m.
to Paradise” rocker was drunk and
behind the wheel of a car that
struck him after a fight with a
neighbor.
Money denied the allegation,
saying Thursday that the Superior
Court lawsuit filed by Sterling
Munce is “nothing but an attempt
to embarrass me, hurt my family
and obtain a financial settlement.”
Munce,; who was allegedly
knocked into a wall during the
confrontation, filed his suit
Wednesday that seeks more than
$250,000 for alleged assault and
battery as well as attorney fees.
Money was too drunk to drive,
the suit said, and Munce, who
notified police about the fight
next door to his apartment,
stepped out of his home to help
when he was allegedly struck by
Money’s car.
The rocker was arrested June 28
and booked for investigation of
battery after allegedly punching a
man, police Sgt. Christopher
Vasquez said at the time.
