Emmy Loves Lucci
TV’s longest-running soapopera is now history. Not “The Guiding Light”–with us ever since 1952–but Susan Lucci’s 19-year quest for an Emmy as best daytime actress. Lucci (villainess Erica Kane in “All My Children”) stomped out of the 1982 ceremony weeping; she’s spoofed her losing streak on “Saturday Night Live” and in an ad for a sugar substitute. So how sweet was victory? “I never truly believed this would happen,” Lucci said–weeping. Chicago Cubs fans, take heart.
Professor Oprah
She’s been assigning reading lists for years; now Oprah Winfrey is becoming a professor. Next year she teaches a 10-week graduate-level business course at Northwestern University. The millionaire TV host will get in-class help from boyfriend Stedman Graham, who’s taught in the business department before. Now if he’d only get moving in the matrimony department.
It’s a Boy! But Is It a Mick’s Blessing?
Mick Jagger may have another chip off the old rock. Brazilian lingerie model Luciana Morad, 29, has given birth to a boy she claims Jagger, 55, fathered. Reports of the pregnancy prompted wife Jerry Hall to file for divorce in December–and to seek a record $45 million. Morad says she’ll name the tot Lucas Jagger if tests prove Papa is the Rolling Stone. Mick, already a father of six, refused to comment, but a source told the London Sun that “once he is totally satisfied the boy is his, he fully intends to be good father.” Forget DNA. Just check the kid’s lips.
