'Wardrobe malfunction' actress complains

JAKARTA: Taffana Dewi, 31, a lesser-known model and actress, said
she wanted to sue the people behind the distribution on the
Internet of a record containing her wardrobe malfunction
incident, in which she bared her sizable breasts on a live TV
show.

Taffana or Ana, however, had not yet found the certain
individuals she wanted to sue.

Private TV station Trans TV, which aired the live comedy
program Ketawa Spesial Ala Trans on Thursday night denied the
allegation that their crew were responsible for the distribution.

"The record that is going around on the Internet has Trans TV
logo. Our master record doesn't show the logo," a Trans TV public
relation officer, Ichwan Muni, was quoted as saying by news
portal www.detik.com.

Ana, who once posed in swimsuit for men magazine Popular,
played in the 1990s as an extra in several titillating Indonesian
B-movies.

Her career was largely unknown, until she had the recent
"wardrobe malfunction".

In the comedy program, Ana was wearing a Javanese traditional
strapless top known as a kemben. Some in the audience testified
that her kemben had already worked loose for a few minutes before
finally failing her, fully baring her breasts.

The critical moment occurred when she tried to help comedian
Tessy get up. She bowed and the audience gasped. -JP

Friedman in show soon after breast op

NEW YORK: Two weeks after having surgery for breast cancer, Maria
Friedman was scheduled to open on Thursday -- as scheduled -- in
The Woman in White, the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical based on
Wilkie Collins' Victorian mystery novel.

Friedman started preview performances on Oct. 28 at Broadway's
Marquis Theater, but left the show six days later after
discovering a lump in her left breast. She returned to the
musical Nov. 10, missing only a week of performances.

During her absence, understudy Lisa Brescia played the role of
Marian Holcombe, the musical's adventurous heroine.

Friedman, in an interview with The New York Times, said she
would begin radiation treatments in December. "I'm not going for
hero status," the actress told the newspaper. "I'm doing what I
can do, with enormous support."

The musical, adapted by Charlotte Jones and with lyrics by
David Zippel, is directed by Trevor Nunn, who supervised such
Lloyd Webber shows as Cats, Starlight Express, Aspects of Love
and Sunset Boulevard.

The Woman in White opened in London in September 2004 to mixed
reviews. The Sunday Times of London called the show "a big, big
triumph, a very palpable hit, no question," while The New York
Times sniffed, "It isn't unpleasant, but it doesn't begin to
capture what makes Collins' book such an enduring page turner."

Lee returns to Nebraska with Motley Crue

LINCOLN, Nebraska: Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee will return to
the scenic backdrop of his TV reality show -- and he's bringing
his bandmates with him.

Motley Crue will perform on March 31 at Pershing Auditorium on
their Carnival of Sins tour.

The 43-year-old rocker shot NBC's Tommy Lee Goes to College on
the University of Nebraska-Lincoln campus last fall. Some of the
scenes showed him in uniform, stepping out with the university's
marching band.

"I know he had a good time there," said Crue bassist Nikki
Sixx during a recent telephone news conference about the spring
tour, which opens Feb. 10 in Columbus, Georgia.

Lee, who wasn't part of the phone conference, suffered minor
burns on his arms and face last month during a pyrotechnics
explosion at a concert in Casper, Wyoming.

Injuries come with the rock territory, said singer Vince Neil,
who injured his leg in September.

"Every tour somebody gets knocked around onstage," he said.
"I've performed in a cast. It's ... like athletics. You're out
running around for two hours. Things are going to happen."
