TV
Los Angeles disc jockey Rick Dees, host of ABC's
after-hours schmoozefest Into the Night, is being sued by a former
radio newswoman. Liz Fulton, 37, claims she was fired from her radio
job because she wasn't ''sexy enough'' for Dees. Fulton also says she
was humiliated in 1988 when Dees performed a sketch on an L.A. TV
talk show in which a bikini-clad model — misidentified as Fulton — was
led away in handcuffs. A Dees spokesman states that Fulton's contract
was not renewed due to ''routine programming considerations and in no
way constituted sex discrimination.''
