Flustered star forgets her friend

IT was a frantic Dame Edna Everage who called the Conrad yesterday from Melbourne.

Evidently the blue-rinse-and-rhinestone dame had overlooked the matter of a room for her bridesmaid, Madge Allsop, who will be accompanying her to town.

As we all know by now, Melbourne's most famous housewife will be putting on seven 'MSG-free' concerts at the Lyric Theatre (October 12-16, 18-19), including a gala performance for the Hong Kong Cancer Fund.

Dame Edna's flustered call has, however, caused a problem for the hotel, which is fully booked. Said Conrad PR manager Vicky McGlothren: 'Someone had forgotten to make a reservation for her. But we'll try to fit her in.' Still, it's not worth taking a chance. So Keeping Posted has booked a room under Madge's name at Chungking Mansions, just in case.
