Madonna leaving London

London — Is the love affair over between Britain and the superstar it likes to call Madge?

Recent press reports claimed adopted Londoner Madonna has decamped to Los Angeles, defeated by the dreary English weather.

But Madonna’s spokeswoman said the absence is only temporary.

“She’ll be back in London in the spring,” Liz Rosenberg said Wednesday. “Madonna has homes in the States, she has homes in England, and she moves between the two.”

British newspapers reported this month that Madonna had withdrawn her 6-year-old daughter, Lourdes, from a London school, and quoted the singer as telling friends she was fed up with “everything that is English.”

Civil rights icon honored

Detroit — Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks will be honored at a 90th birthday celebration next month, according to the foundation named for Parks and her husband.

The Feb. 14 event at the Detroit Opera House will feature a musical performance by the Three Mo Tenors. Proceeds will benefit six programs that provide services to adolescents through the Rosa and Raymond Parks Foundation.

Parks’ refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955 landed her in jail and sparked a bus boycott that is considered the start of the modern civil rights movement.

Parks, who turns 90 on Feb. 4, now lives in Detroit.

Edged out by a nose

Los Angeles — Never mind that the prosthetic schnoz Nicole Kidman strapped on for her role as Virginia Woolf in “The Hours” had everyone talking. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences apparently was not impressed. According to the Hollywood Reporter, the academy snubbed Kidman’s rhinocap by not naming the makeup artists behind it for the best makeup Oscar.

But Kidman’s noseman shouldn’t get too bent out of shape. The academy also failed to name the cosmeticians who worked on “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers”; “Men in Black II”; and “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.”

Only two movies made the makeup cut — “Frida” (yeah, that unibrow was tough) and “The Time Machine.”

‘Joe Millionaire’ finalist has secret of her own

New York — One of the finalists in Fox’s hit “Joe Millionaire” has starred in dozens of bondage and fetish films under a pseudonym, a Web site reported Wednesday.

Sarah Kozer, 29, starred in movies such as “Novices in Knots” and “Hogtied,” and a foot-fetish film “Dirty Soled Dolls,” according to the Web site The Smoking Gun.

The site said Kozer was clothed in her movie appearances.

Kozer’s occupation is described as “sales and design” on Fox’s Web site.

There’s no mention of her acting jobs, under the name Cindy Schubert, in Fox’s brief bio. When asked “what is the wildest thing you’ve ever done?”, she said there was a long list but picked backpacking in Morocco.
