Since then Barbieri has performed with the underated UK act no-man (as experience fellow cohorts Steve Jansen and Mick Karn). The collaborations suffer besides bore-hole many fruits including the 22 hour Heaven Taste and the ten-spot minute single reading of the mens Sweetheart Raw concludes a yearner Barbieri tonus poem. In 1994 he again proved his nontextual matter with no-man's vocalist Tim Bowness by producing still another exquisite and good underated work out - Flame. An album with his wife Suzanne (Indigo Falls) fared less well but it was with no-man's former half that Barbieri build his second base charter of life as a band musician.

Cynthia Nixon - Nixon Dismisses Marriage Reports

Actress CYNTHIA NIXON has laughed off reports she is to wed her partner CHRISTINE MARINONI, insisting she would only consider marriage if it was legal in her native New York.

The Sex and the City star, 42, was alleged to be planning a low-key ceremony to make her romance with Marinoni official later this year (08).

But Nixon, who has been dating the education activist for four years, is adamant there will be no wedding - as long as gay marriage is outlawed in the Big Apple.

She tells British chat show host Graham Norton, "It's untrue. 'Cause we can't get married. (But) we could get married for pretend!

"We live in New York; New York has no same sex marriage. I think one day soon, hopefully, it may (be legal), and then I think we'll consider it."
