HOW TO MAKE MONEY DATING A ROCK STAR (LESSON #1): The former wife of DEF LEPPARD
singer JOE ELLIOT is to receive a
$1.6 million pay-off. Stunning Irish model KARLA RHAMDANIE was married to
rocker Elliot for eight years. She will receive the cash in return for
selling her share of the couple's luxury home in Killiney, Dublin.
Rhamdanie celebrated her good fortune in top Dublin nightspot Renards, where she
told pals she is "delighted" to officially put the disastrous marriage
behind her. The couple stunned close friends when they admitted their marriage
had
broken down in 1994 and Joe moved out of their love nest. Elliot and some
of the other members of Sheffield rockers Def Leppard arrived in Dublin
as tax exiles in the late 1980's and Elliot fell for Rhamdanie when he met
her in a city nightclub. The singer, who is now dating buxom red-haired
American BOBBIE TOLSMA, has been renting a luxury apartment in Dun
Laoghaire in Dublin while lawyers hammered out the deal with his ex-wife.
Rhamdanie is now pursuing a career as an actress and is taking lessons in
Dublin's Gaiety School of Acting. She is going out with Dubliner DAVE
WALSH, who works in U2's Kitchen nightclub in the Clarence Hotel.
Another article from Cybersleaze:
DEF LEPPARD rockers JOE ELLIOT and RICK SAVAGE stayed in the background
so they could catch their all-time rock and roll hero in action. Former
MOTT THE HOOPLE frontman IAN HUNTER and his band drew barely 100 paying
punters to their show in Whelans Bar, Dublin, last night, where Elliot,
Savage and their girlfriends had the balcony area all to themselves.
Undeterred by the poor turnout, they sang along to old hits ALL THE WAY
FROM MEMPHIS and ROLL AWAY THE STONE, although they never made it as far
as the stage. A bar spokesman says, "As far as Joe and Rick were
concerned it was Ian's show and they didn't want to do anything to steal
his thunder. They just went along as fans." The pair later dropped into
the dressing room to break open a bottle of champagne with Hunter, who
was celebrating his 50th birthday.
