Asked whether he had indeed married, Rodman shrugged his shoulders. He said he was going to Rome on his honeymoon, ``me and someone else.''

Yarborough, who dances at Scores, a nightclub on East 60th Street, was nowhere to be found. Lonnie Hanover, a spokesman for the club, said he did not know her plans.

David Letterman's San Francisco pal, who's been on a bit of a career slide since his initial burst of stardom, is languishing in the San Francisco County Jail after being busted for a probation violation that stems from a drug-dealing conviction in his home town of Dayton, Ohio.

``My past is coming back to haunt me,'' Manny said in a jailhouse interview Tuesday, wearing a jail wristband with inmate number 1666155 written on it. ``It's a real shame, because I've been good and getting my life back together.''

Manny, a 20-year-old who says his real name is Micah Papp, found fame, golf clubs and a high-profile job in May during Letterman's visit to San Francisco.

It all began with a side-splitting video of the two cavorting around the Bay, sharing lunch on Fisherman's Wharf and holding a two-man sit-in at the University of California, Berkeley The University of California, Berkeley is a public research university located in Berkeley, California, United States. Commonly referred to as UC Berkeley, Berkeley and Cal . It was arguably the highlight of a successful week for Letterman.

Manny taught Letterman about being a hippie, about the difference between ``dank'' (good) and ``schwag'' (bad). In return, Letterman put him on ``The Late Show,'' presented him with a set of golf clubs and made room for him as a regular guest doing movie reviews.
