The Not So News

- Clive Davis is optimistic of a Whitney Houston comeback as early as the beginning of next year. [pagesix]

- Cheryl Ladd has a "a devil of an attitude toward gays" according to Frank DeCaro of OutQ radio, because she cancelled a promotion of her new book. Her publicist said: "Cheryl's camp is not that comfortable doing the OutQ show . . . it's not the target audience." Seeing as how her book is about menopause, I would have to agree with Cheryl, because other than Frank DeCaro, anything about menopause is the next to the last thing that this homo would want to hear about on the radio. BTW, while on the topic of OutQ and Sirius Satelite Radio, I do LOVE me some Larry Flick and Derek & Romaine![pagesix]
