NEW INTERNET
APPLIANCE FROM SUNBEAM |
| |
 The
Sunbeam Supra 4650 boasts a 700 MHz
Pentium III processor, 128 megs of RAM, a
13.3 gigabyte hard drive, two slots for
CD-RW or DVD-RAM drives, and a sleek
brushed aluminum look that owes its
styling to nothing we've ever seen
before. Just plug it in, switch it on (it
warms up in no time!) and you're in
business. If there's one reservation
we have it's that it gets very hot
when in use (Don't put it on your
lap!), and it's difficult to eject a
disk from the top-loading slots without
resorting to poking around in there with
a fork. Otherwise, at $699 (not including
monitor) it's a very attractive
package. (4½ stars) |

THE AFTERLIFE
by Earl Wilson |
The bounteous
Brit be-yoot Diana Dors
threw one heckuva "Dead
Blondes Have More Fun"
surprise birthday bash for
headless pal Jayne Mansfield,
who would have been 78. The
once-dreamy Dors confided to the BW
that she nearly came back to life
when she saw the bill for the
brimstone birthday cake. "I
thought I was
you-know-where!" |
Dropped by the
Blue Angel to catch Olsen
and Johnson in a heavenly
revival of "Hellzapoppin,’" a
certified hereafter hit. The boys
were killing 'em with material
that should have died with vaudeville.
Among the victims at ringside,
the no-longer "Fat"
Jack E. Leonard, the
always scholarly-looking Robert
Q. Lewis, the
not-so-scholarly-looking Joe E.
"Ooh-ooh" Ross,
and the always quotable Joe E. Lewis,
who quipped, "The way these
cadavers are laughing you’d
think they’d ended
Prohibition up here." |
 Amused by all
the earthly hijinks down in Miami
Beach, Jackie Gleason is
thinking of taking another stab
at a variety show. But then he
realized why it was a bad idea:
Art Carney’s still
alive! |
| That’s Oyl, brother. |
