Blondes really do have more fun. Just ask Bebe Buell, girlfriend to the stars, who’s taking time out from her career as rock’s favorite pin-up princess to tackle a singing career.
That’s right—this year’s model is making an album, tentatively titled (what else) Cover Girl. Having already cut a demo, including a breathy version of “My Little Red Book,” and a positively pornographic remake of Iggy’s “Funtime,” Bebe’s in the thick of negotiations with several major record labels. A pair of Buell chums, Rick Derringer and Ric Ocasek, produced the first four songs, so she seems to be in good studio hands.
“I would’ve made a record long ago,” said Buell, “but I wanted to do it when people would accept me as a singer instead of somebody’s girlfriend.” The wholesomelooking Buell is perhaps best known for her widely photographed liasons with Todd Rundgren, Rod Stewart, and Elvis Costello, though rumor has it that her first real boyfriend was Paul Cowsill—Bebe claims they met when he was doing a TV commercial for milk.
