Mrs. Loni Flick? Nope, that won't work
Call her "Jennifer Marlowe" or "Pembrook Feeney." Once you could even call her Mrs. Burt Reynolds. Just don't call her Loni Flick!
Loni Anderson, 62, married '60s folk singer Bob Flick on Saturday. Anderson first met Flick back in 1960 when his band -- The Brothers Four -- was king of the pop charts with the song "Greenfields," the Associated Press reports. And yes, the former "WKRP In Cincinnati" star is keeping her own last name.
Need another '80s angle? OK, but you won't like it. At the ceremony, according to the AP, Loni's granddaughters "wore the same diamond hearts the actress wore in the 1983 movie 'Stroker Ace.' " Even Burt cringes when anyone mentions that "flick."

E-mail Steve Spears:
I would love to hear the sound those faces make when each of them yawns. That Katherine Helmond character in "Brazil'' was a ghastly over-the-topism in 1983, but reality is closing fast.

Honest to goodness, I don't think there's a naturally moving part on either of their faces. Are they real or are they Memorex... wow.
