Here are the answers:

- Lenny Kravitz
He wore blue contact lenses to get the look. Popular guesses were Prince, Billy Idol, and Lil' Romeo.
- What rock star was injured recently when he crashed his all-terrain vehicle?
- Ozzy Osbourne
He took a nasty spill, but is making a recovery.
- When he appeared on The Arsenio Hall Show campaigning for president, what song did Bill Clinton play on sax?

Our favorite wrong answer was "Play The Funky Music, White Boy." A lot of people thought it was "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow," which was his campaign song, but doesn't translate well to the sax.

- Madonna
The book is called The English Roses.

- "Stand"
It was the theme song to Get A Life, starring Chris Elliot as a middle-aged paper boy. It ran on Fox from 1990-1992. Fox was a new network, and willing to try just about anything. This didn't work so well, but another show that came on around that time did - The Simpsons.

She had big hair and got to duet with him on "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" during the Bad tour.
