PINK PANTHER TURNS 35 TODAY (APRIL 12)

PHOENIX (Wireless Flash) -- Famed cartoon character "The Pink Panther" turns 35 today and he'll be having a gay old time if an astrologer in Phoenix is correct. The character was created for the Blake Edwards' flick of the same name which premiered on this day in 1964. According to astrologer Brenda Black, the Pink Panther's zodiac chart suggests he's a passionate, impulsive Aries who, at 35, is ready to "...come out of the closet." Black predicts the Panther is about to get emotionally involved with a younger, tattooed version of himself. Even more amazing, she claims the two prancing panthers will soon star in a music video wearing striped pink fur coats. A spokesperson for MGM Studios which owns the rights to the Pink Panther says the astrologer's prediction is amazingly accurate -- at least in the wardrobe area. It seems the Pink Panther is currently having a new wardrobe created for him by high fashion designer Nicole Miller.
