Monaco's Albert has a princely time in R.I.
Prince Albert II of Monaco isn't the marrying kind. Appearing in an interview that aired yesterday on ABC's ``Good Morning America," the prince said that although there are rumors linking him to South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock, he doesn't see marriage in his future. ``I have no plans in the near or distant future," the 48-year-old monarch said. ``Any time I'm seen with a pretty young woman by my side more than once, then everybody flashes the `M' word, as you say," the prince said on the show. Albert is the second child of Prince Rainier and American film star Grace Kelly and was in Rhode Island over the weekend to attend several events. After stopping at the Carnegie Abbey Club in Portsmouth, R.I., for a world leadership conference, the prince made his way to Newport for the opening- night events of the JVC Jazz Festival in Newport on Friday night. On Saturday, the day included sailing on a private yacht in Narragansett Bay and then a celebration of the 50th anniversary of his late mother's last movie, ``High Society," with one of the film's stars, Celeste Holm. Albert made headlines earlier this year after acknowledging the paternity of two children (a 14-year-old girl named Jazmin, and a 3-year-old boy, Alexandre.) As for the timing of dealing with the children's paternity, Albert told ABC it wasn't something he wanted ``to shy away" from. But when pressed about whether he thought it was appropriate that he had to address the issue, the soft-spoken royal said: ``I don't know if it's fair. . . . I guess it's something you have to deal with."
Logue visits Cambridge stomping grounds
For Donal Logue, returning to Harvard Square for two days of screenings to promote Ed Burns's latest film, ``The Groomsmen," was more fun than work. ``It's tough for some movies to get recognized , so that's what we're doing," said Logue of the city-by-city effort to get the word out about the movie in which he stars with Burns, John Leguizamo, and Jay Mohr. ``I'm proud of the film. I'm happy to run around and promote it. . . . And any chance to come back to Cambridge," Logue said yesterday as he sat at the Algiers Cafe. A lot of those attending the screenings Saturday and yesterday morning at the AMC Loews on Church Street were students, which is what Logue said he would have done during his days at Harvard. ``It's a chance to demystify the process." It's been a busy season for Logue, who has a sitcom, ``The Knights of Prosperity," with Mick Jagger, starting this fall on ABC. But Logue will always make time for the Red Sox. ``There's no such thing as a bad excuse to see the Sox play," he said.
Leary to honor Boston Fire Department
Denis Leary will be in town tomorrow to give a gift to the Boston Fire Department, the result of a year long fund - raising effort by the Worcester native's Leary Firefighters Foundation. Although the ``Rescue Me" star's organization is being mum on the details of the gift, the presentation will be made in Boston tomorrow. Founded in 2000, after a Worcester warehouse fire claimed the lives of six firefighters, including Leary's cousin, the foundation has raised millions of dollars for training facilities and equipment for departments including Worcester, New York City, and New Orleans. The gift unveiled tomorrow will be the foundation's largest to the Boston Fire Department.
