Ben Good and his bad-boy lookalike Navarro

If Dave Navarro didn't spend so much time accentuating his Luciferness and was actually good-looking, he would resemble the handsome Ben Good.

"Thank you very much. I've gotten Navarro a lot," said Good, laughing hard, from Los Angeles, where he went looking for work as an actor after graduating from Robbinsdale Cooper High in 1992.

Look for Good in his biggest role yet as Pool Player No. 3 in "I Melt With You," a dark drama starring Rob Lowe, Thomas Jane and Jeremy Piven, directed by Mark Pellington and written by Glenn Porter.

A "very cool" movie experience, said Good, adding enthusiastically as I verified the info at imdb.com: "Cooper! Go Hawks!"

"My mother is Roxanne Leitzke, her married last name," said Good. "She and her husband, Bob, live in Osseo. She's got a store on Main Street called Fashionista, a clothing, jewelry and purse store. She comes out here a lot to L.A. and shops in the fashion district. New York as well."

His late father, Richard Good, retired as a Hennepin County Sheriff's Department detective in 1987. He moved to Palm Springs and went to work for Frank Sinatra. "I really didn't get away with anything as a kid," said Good.

Since Navarro has always gotten away with a lot, he does not sound like Richard's kind of person. Good agreed.

Good said he was at a party at Bordello, a nightclub and restaurant in L.A., to which Navarro had naturally arrived, Charlie Sheen-style, on the arm of a porn star. Navarro's ex, Carmen Electra, who spent some time in the Twin Cities when she was fooling around with Prince, was there, too. "They were not together at that time. They're still friends," said Good.

When Electra saw Good, she exclaimed, according to Ben, Oh my God! You and Dave look like you could be brothers! "Then I went up to him and said, 'What's up, Bro?'" Good said. "Us standing next to each other is pretty funny. I've met him a few times."

Good can't spend all his time confusing people who think he's Navarro. Here's the link -- www.startribune.com/a190 -- to a funnyordie.com "Bieber Fever" video co-starring Good and Ryan Harry, another "I Melt With You" co-star. They play a couple of "Thelma & Louise"-channeling dudes who are well beyond their teenybopper years and yet very passionate about the Bieber.

The Grammy GranniesTurns out WCCO-TV's "Grannies" had the Grammys all figured out.

The mothers of sports anchor Mark Rosen (Doris) and news anchor Frank Vascellaro (Rosalie) were asked to pick the Grammy winner in the "Song of the Year" category.

She was right, too.

"Just trying to get some," Mrs. Rosen said, reading the lyrics to another song, then added: "Oh, I know what he's trying to get."

Down, Granny, down -- that song and "I Need You Now" are referencing the same thing.

Mrs. Rosen complimented Cee Lo Green's "F*** You" as being danceable enough for a Lindy Hop.

Betty White is getting company if CBS Network re-airs the "Grannies" segment.

Will the Grannies be back for the Oscars?

"We may have to," said Mike Caputa, WCCO-TV news director. "We got a lot of response."

It's very cute, but someone should tell the grannies that Frank Sinatra was something of a thug, not that I'm defending any rappers. The grannies thought Ol' Blue Eyes had more class than today's average Grammy nominee. Check out their commentary at www.startribune.com/a198.

A stunning gownIt is fitting that as of Valentine's Day, VIP Hair & Nails owner Tiffany Wilson was to become Mrs. Blackwell.

When the former model showed me a phone image of her wedding gown and said it was a Monique Lhuillier, I begged to tag along like "Entertainment Tonight" and videotape the fitting.

Wilson and Blackwell flew to an island destination for their Valentine's Day nuptials.

The groom elected not to see the wedding gown until their wedding day because "I'm old-fashioned." I warned Blackwell to prepare to have his eyeballs knocked out by this gown.

Wilson looks like a goddess in her strapless gown, "The Demi," made of silk georgette fabric. The Mrs. Blackwell handle suits her to a couTure, because Tiffany enjoys fine clothing and, as her new husband noted to me, Jimmy Choo $hoe$.
