RADIO

Ad Not-So-Hot: The Clinton Administration has pulled an AIDS-prevention radio spot featuring Anthony Kiedis, lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, after learning he had been convicted of sexual battery. Health and Human Services Secretary Donna Shalala said she was “outraged” to find out about Kiedis’ background. In the public service ad unveiled last week, Kiedis urged radio audiences to use a condom: “Remember you can be naked without being exposed,” he said. In 1990, Kiedis was convicted of sexual battery and indecent exposure stemming from an incident after a concert at George Mason University in Virginia in which he touched a woman’s face with his penis. The ad was developed by the firm Ogilvy & Mather of Atlanta. Shalala has ordered the company to give her a report on how it failed to take note of Kiedis’ background.

STAGE

Big Bucks for Cerritos Center: Performance magazine has named the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts the third-highest-grossing theater under 3,000 seats. According to the trade publication, the Cerritos Center, which opened Jan. 13, 1993, is the highest-grossing theater in the California category, finishing ahead of Los Angeles’ Pantages Theater, which ranked fifth. Among last year’s presentations at the Cerritos Center were a Frank Sinatra performance and a concert by dance stars Twyla Tharp and Mikhail Baryshnikov.

A financial crunch at the San Juan Bautista-based theater was blamed for the cancellation.
