MOVING RIGHT ALONG: Our favorite New Year’s resolution, from Belinda Carlisle: “To try not to buy any more animals.” . . . Congrats to Billy Vera, who will get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Feb. 16. (And to set the record straight--Vera’s last single stiffed on Rhino, not Capitol Records, as we wrote last week). . . . And top-notch Billboard critic/reporter Chris Morris, who recently left his post as rock writer at the Los Angeles Reader, will be back in the critic’s catbird-seat early next month when his new column begins running in each biweekly issue of the Music Connection.
