"Cagiey and Lacey” star, lharon Gless was recently a patient there. She looked out last month. Farrah Fawcett is getting cold feet again about ier wedding to Ryan O’Neal, because she fears that marriage will change

him for the worse. I hear that the moment she says “I do” she thinks that Ryan will start bossing her around and telling her what to do, and believe me, that is something. Farah doesn’t like — being told what to do. Ryan is pressuring her with the fact that their son, Redmond, should have married parents, and that’s , the only thing Ryan has ever said that really makes sense.

Last month Warren

Gossip writer Kitty Kelley, who has penned headline-making exposes on Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor gnd Frank Sinatra, is in Hollywood looking for sources for a new book on Nancy Reagan.

Kitty has already received an advance of seven figures, plus a new Mercedes from her publishers, Simon and Schuster, before she has put pen to paper. Dallas star Patrick. Duffy narrowly escaped disaster when he and his wife visited the outback of central Australia. They found a friendly kangaroo on the roadside.

Patrick gave chase and managed to grab the jacket, which saved them from being stranded in the Australian desert. “Hotel” star James Brolin, who gave his first wife Jane a divorce two years ago, is back in the divorce court But this time, he’s pleading poverty and demanding that Jane repay him nearly $2 million dollars. The suit comes at an embarrassing time for James, because it has been revealed that Jane is battling cancer. Jane, 48, was married to James for 20 years. She is undergoing chemotherapy and radiation.

Dinah Shore has at last found her perfect man in best-selling novelist Sidney Sheldon, aged 71. Dinah is also 71. I hear that there could be wedding bells later in the year. Sidney has been a widower for the last three years — and Dinah single for the last 10 years.
