AND NOW HERE’S THE NEWS: The Cinemax Sessions--which brought you great tributes to Roy Orbison and B. B. King--will be back March 20 on Cinemax with “A Reggae Session.” Filmed last week in Port Royal, Jamaica, the special features Jimmy Cliff, Bunny Wailer, Ziggy Marley, Rita Marley and the I-3’s and Toots Hibbert, plus Chrissie Hynde, Grace Jones, the Neville Brothers and Carlos Santana. . . . X mainstays John Doe and Exene may have split up and teamed up with new loved ones, but they haven’t lost their synchronicity--both Exene (with husband Viggo Mortensen) and Doe (with spouse Gigi Nommensen) had children Jan. 28. Exene’s was a boy--Henry Blake Mortensen; Doe’s was a girl, Veronica Jane Nommensen (and both were born in Cedars Sinai. Once things quiet down in the nurseries, watch for X to release a live album (probably in late spring), followed by a tour.
