‘Vice' star to remarry

NZPA-AP Los Angeles “Miami Vice” star, Don Johnson, and his former wife, Melanie Griffith, plan to remarry, Johnson’s publicist said yesterday. “No date has been set,” Elliot Mintz said in a statement. He would not disclose where the wedding would be or where the couple were spending the Chirstmas holidays. “Both Don and Melanie wish to enjoy this very special time together,” Mr Mintz said. “In order to provide a sense of dignity and privacy, there will be no press conference, photograph opportunities, interviews or further statement.” Miss Griffith, aged 31, the star of the hit movie “Working Girl,” was married briefly to the then little-known Johnson when she was a teenager. She is the daughter of the actress, Tippi Hedren. She later married, then divorced the actor, Steven Bauer. They have a son, Alexander, aged three. Johnson was recently romantically involved with the entertainer, Barbra Streisand, and the two sang together on the contemporary hit “Till I Loved You.” Johnson, aged 39, has a five-year-old son from his relationship with Patti D’Arbanville. Johnson, who plays the vice cop, Sonny Crockett, on the N.B.C. network s'eries, and Miss Griffith have reportedly been living together in Miami.
