But Does She Have a Guest House?

In terms of a uniquely ‘90s type of celebrity, it’s hard to surpass two guests at Detour Magazine’s eighth anniversary party last week at the El Rey Theatre.

For the first time, in the same room, beneath the same roof, hearing the same blaring version of “Disco Inferno,” were Tonya Harding and Kato Kaelin--she being on the slippery downside of the fame curve, he straddling the peak.

“They would make a lovely couple,” said Luis Barajas, the magazine’s publisher. “They could share the same hairdresser.”

Unfortunately a photo of the two schmoozing never happened, partially because a Kodak moment wasn’t something Kato’s publicist thought propitious. “I don’t think that’s a direction we want to take Kato,” he said, perhaps wisely.

Prozac Puppy: And in the category of how neurotic this town can be, we put forward the case of the Hollywood producer who has his dog taking Prozac.

An acquaintance who’s met both man and dog says, “He kind of leers at you like a gang member. To me, he’s still a bit cranky.”

The dog, not the producer.

Diving for Dollars: The Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Community Services Center is going to toss 600 of its donors out of airplanes. But it’s OK. It’s for the money.

As a fund-raiser for its youth services program, the center is asking 600 supporters to raise $750 each. Those who succeed will be part of a mass sky-diving event in the Mojave Desert in August. The jumpers will be hooked to static lines, “so even if you pass out your chute will open,” said the Center’s Jim Key.

“We have to do more outrageous things to tap into money in the gay and lesbian community,” said Key. “We don’t need any more black-tie events or fashion shows.”
