THE FORMER girlfriend of Prince Andrew is expecting a baby

THE FORMER girlfriend of Prince Andrew is expecting a baby. Koo Stark (40), actress turned photographer, has revealed her "wonderful surprise" in Hello! magazine.

Stark, who recently renewed her friendship with the divorced Duke of York, said:

"The father knows and I feel I will have his loyalty and friendship for the rest of our lives.

"I am not saying who the father is. I feel strongly that this is a private matter and the child should know before the rest of the world."

She added: "It seems that it is my fate to bear this child out of love and out of wedlock."

Elton John has written and recorded 19 songs for the forthcoming musical Aida in 19 days. He could "probably" call that a million dollars a day, he admitted in an interview with the New Yorker magazine.

The stage musical version of Verdi's tragic Egyptian opera will be his second for Disney.

The Lion King movie, for which he won an Oscar, is also being developed for Broadway.
