HOLLYWOOD - May 29, 2001 - Two weeks after launching the Reptile Tour, guitar guru Eric Clapton has announced that this will be the last time that he will hit the road. "I was musing that it might be the last time," Clapton told Rolling Stone magazine on Friday. "Now I'm going, this is definitely the last time." Clapton, who owes Warner Bros. two more albums, still plans to record. The musician already said that he has two future projects in mind: a collaboration with the Impressions, who backed him on several tracks of his new album, Reptile, and an album of soulful rock blues.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 14, 2000 -- Could Ricky Martin and Marilyn Manson possibly have anything in common? Well, this week they do.
The two very different music artists have released their newest albums this week. Manson's "Holly Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)" is his follow-up to his 1998 platinum-selling metal fest "Mechanical Animal." The album, in a nutshell, describes how a rock star can be shot down by the pressures of, well, being a rock star, government, religion and, oh yes, greed.
Pop icon Martin on the other hand is inching closer to his Latin roots with the release of "Sound Loaded." But Martin fans need not worry. Like his debut single, "Livin' La Vida Loca," this Latin lover's new record still boasts the grooves that make Martin move so wildly on stage, as "She Bangs," his first single and video from the new album, proves.
"On the last album, w

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 5, 2000 -- Well, the February sweeps are finally over.
Once the remainder of NBC's "10th Kingdom" is flushed from the system, it will all be just a distant memory. Regis Philbin won, if you were scoring along at home. If the February sweeps were like network TV's playoffs, Regis was Michael Jordan -- only shorter and dressed like a bootlegger from the 1920s.
The good news? Now that the quarter-hour numbers don't mean as much to the bean counters, you might find a few higher-quality shows on the air -- not that Fox's "Robbie Knievel: Head On Train Jump" wasn't "high quality" as head on train jumps go. ... But, um ... Hey, everybody, let's get ready for those mid-season replacements!
-- Right after HBO's "The Sopranos" airs today at 8 p.m. (this is old news, but yes, the series really is as good as everybody says it is), stay tuned for "If T

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 1, 2000 -- Looks like Whoopi Goldberg's single again.
The Oscar-winning thespian turned "Hollywood Square" queen has split with her boyfriend of five years, actor Frank Langella, today's Daily Variety says.
The two have been an item since the mid-1990s when they met on the set of one of Goldberg's cinematic opuses: "Eddie" (the one where she plays the limo driver who -- oh, my! -- gets hired to coach basketball's New York Knicks! Hee, hee.)
Goldberg's last high-profile romance was with "Cheers" star turned "Becker" guy Ted Danson. That one hit the skids shortly after Danson's black-faced tribute to Goldberg at a Friar's Club Roast in 1993.
Though Goldberg, 50, and Langella, 60, never wed, Variety says the ex-couple intends to stay "close friends" just like real-live Hollywood husbands and wives who haul each other into divorce court
