IDOL WORSHIP: Billy Idol is still in the hospital, recovering from a nasty motorcycle spill. But Chrysalis Records says plans to release the rock singer’s new album, “Charmed Life,” remain on schedule. Due out April 17, the aptly-titled record features “Cradle of Love” (due out as a single), “Prodigal Blues,” “Trouble With the Sweet Stuff,” “License to Thrill” and a remake of the Doors’ “L.A. Woman.” Idol’s “Cradle of Love” will also be on the Elektra soundtrack to “Ford Fairlane,” the Andrew (Dice) Clay film due out this summer. . . . A Truth in Advertising Raspberry to KLOS-FM, which had replacement deejays tell listeners that morning hot-shots Mark & Brian were off-the-air last week, allegedly because of a dispute over a disciplinary memo from management. The clever ratings ploy was in perfect sync with the duo’s bad-boy image--and kept listeners tuning in daily to see if the jocks had returned. The reality? Mark & Brian were simply on vacation. . . . And our Blunder of the Week goes to Hollywood Reporter reviewer Jeffrey Jolson-Colburn, who expressed “disappointment” in his Monday review of the recent Tears for Fears concert that the group “didn’t perform a few of the tunes they created with (Liza Minnelli) for her brilliant ‘Results’ album . . . “ Only one problem: Liza made “Results” with the Pet Shop Boys, not Tears for Fears.
