People in the news Rumors cause 'Superbrat'spat MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Two journalists say superbrat” John McEnroe shoved them and spat at one when asked about his marriage plans, but the tennis star says they “came there with the intention of starting something.” McEnroe, 26, of New York, in Melbourne for the Australian Open championship, this morning pushed Melbourne Herald reporter Geoff Easdown and insulted and spat at photographer Mike Porter of News Ltd., the two men said. The journalists said the incident in the lobby of the plush Regency Hotel occurred after McEnroe was asked about rumors he had married his girlfriend, actress Tatum O’Neal, last week in New York. Easdown said he asked the tennis star if he would pose for a picture with Miss O’Neal, who is rumored to be in Australia, and “he then asked me to leave the hotel. I told him I wasn’t going to be ordered around by him. He then went off the deep end.” Easdown said he did not propose to take any action against McEnroe. McEnroe, No. 2 seed for the tournament, said later at a news conference that he’s tired of being asked questions about his love life. "I moved a guy aside and now it’s like he’s physically assaulted,” he said. “All of a sudden he’s beat up. People bring photographers with them. And he came there with the intention of starting something.” He denied categorically that he had married Miss O’Neal and said that she was not pregnant. “That’s just not true," he said. “I’m sick of denying it all. Every country I go to I have to deny the same story.” • CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) Garbed in his perennial red bow tie and too-small suit, Pee Wee Herman, the skinny and excitable comedian, was presented with an Elmer award for comedy by the Harvard Lampoon. Herman, whose madcap search for a stolen bicycle was billed as his “Big Adventure,” accepted the award Monday, given for “lifetime achievement in comedy,” from the nation’s oldest humor magazine. The award also makes Herman an honorary editor of the publication. Herman was escorted through the streets of Cambridge in a parade featuring jugglers, cheerleaders and the Harvard University marching band. “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure,” his first feature-length movie, provided a forum for Herman’s oddball humor and squeaky voice. Previous recipients of the Elmer award, in its third year, are comedians Bill Cosby and John Candy. • DUBLIN, Ireland (AP) Bob Geldof, the Irish rock star and famine-relief fund-raiser, has been named Ireland’s Man of the Year. Geldof, of the rock group Boomtown Rats and organizer of the Live Aid benefit concerts for African famine relief, was given the award Monday night by Irish Prime Minister Garret Fitz Gerald. The honor was bestowed by a committee representing organizations on both sides of the Irish border.

JOHN McENROE Some people like him..

LONDON (AP) “Dallas” star Patrick Duffy said he blew his chance of talking to Queen Elizabeth II after the monarch and her husband, Prince Philip, met the cast of a musical variety show in which he performed. “The usual thing happened,” Duffy said Monday night. “When I am nervous all my systems close down and I just shut up. I said to the queen how nice it was to meet her and that was all. I missed my chance.” “Dynasty” star Joan Collins, who with Lauren Bacall also appeared in the musical, said, “The queen said that she loved the show and that it was very entertaining.” Meanwhile, Prince Charles, Princess Diana and about 1,000 handicapped and disadvantaged children attended a benefit of “Santa Claus, the Movie,” andmet the movie’s stars, Dudley Moore, John Lithgow and David Huddleston. • LONDON (AP) British rock star Elton John, blacklisted by the United Nations for performing in South Africa, denounced that country’s apartheid system of racial separatism and pledged not to return there. “Elton wishes to make it clear that he is, and always has been, totally opposed to the practices of apartheid and does not intend to return to South Africa while apartheid remains there,” John’s record company. Rocket, said Monday. The U.N. blacklisted John two years ago for performing in South Africa. Press Association, the British domestic news agency, said John’s name was being removed from the U.N. register of blacklisted artists. HOLLYWOOD Steve Martin and Rick Moranis will star in a film version of the hit Off Broadway musical “Little Shop of Horrors.” Frank Oz, the puppeteer who directed “The Muppets Take Manhattan,” will direct for Geffen Films. “Little Shop of Horrors,” which won the Drama Critics Circle, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for best musical, is based on a low-budget 1961 Roger Corman horror film about a man-eating plant that starred Jack Nicholson. Martin will play the musical-comedy’s sadistic dentist. Moranis, who played the nerd in “Ghostbusters,” will portray Seymour, the botanical genius of a skid row flower shop who must feed the insatiable appetite of a Venus flytrap. Ellen Greene will re-create her Off Broadway role as Audrey, the girl with whom Seymour is in love. The voice of the bloodthirsty plant will be created by Levi Stubbs, lead singer of the Four Tops.
