Abstract

Standing there in a bridal gown and a state of shock, Darva Conger would never have thought of asking [Rick Rockwell], "Did you ever smack a girlfriend?" "Does your `elevator' go all the way up to the top floor?"

Now some alleged galpals and dates have suggested that the, um, multimillionaire with the two broken toilets in the backyard of his 1,200-square-foot house in Encinitas, Calif., was a cheap date with wandering hands. Rockwell denies it all. But the folks at Fox who were counting their money -- How to be a Multi-Billionaire! -- not only cancelled the rerun but the sequels.

I don't know if Darva was a hoper or a gold digger. I don't know if Rick was a showoff or a dangerous phoney. In this faux marriage, they came back from the cruise to two separate homes and huge stakeout crews of media.
