That's my boy -

kyburgLOS ANGELES, June 3 -- A lifetime of touring, waking up in a different hotel
room nearly every morning, you'd think superstar BARRY MANILOW would know his
way around his own bedroom. After spending two weeks in Malibu, producing the
up-coming Rosemary Clooney tribute album for Bette Midler, Manilow returned to
his Palm Springs home. Awoken in mid-sleep, he found himself disoriented
(thinking he was still in Malibu) and walked into a wall breaking his nose.
"Too many hotels," says Manilow. "In the middle of the night, I veered to the
left instead of the right and slammed right into the wall." He passed out for
four hours. Laughing out loud, he offers, "At least I didn't pee in the
closet!"
The singer with the already large proboscis says, "I may have to have my nose
fixed and with this nose it's going to require major surgery!" He's all right
now, but he's got quite a bump. "My luck, I couldn't have broken my knee like
Liza?" Manilow jokingly asks, referring to his famous profile.
Manilow's health, voice and humor are intact, as he continues to work daily on
his up coming projects. The unstoppable workaholic, Manilow is committed to
finishing the mixing of both the Midler album and his own 2-disc live recording,
"Two Nights Live," as well as beginning rehearsals for the Manilow/Bruce Sussman
original stage musical, HARMONY, scheduled to open in Ft. Lauderdale, FL in
October with sights on Broadway for early '04. If and when he slows down - and
once the swelling is gone, he'll seek doctor's advice on surgery, but has no
intention of having a "nose job," to alter his looks.
"You should see the wall," says Manilow, laughing again.
I've heard some of the songs from HARMONY - Oh, Baby! But...no Florida for me. I'll wait until it gets to New York.
Also, I know where he lives. I grew up in that community out there - and I'd bet dollars to donuts he was seen at the hospital attached to the Betty Ford Center there in Rancho Mirage.
If you can't laugh at this, you're certifiably dead.
