Is this where "Girls on Film" go to get well? British pop legends Duran Duran have released the video for their new song "Falling Down" – featuring a starlet that looks suspiciously like Britney Spears being admitted to a mental hospital.

The hair. The makeup. The girls on film. In the '80s, Duran Duran was the ultimate crush band for legions of teenage girls (and Princess Di), adored for its racy videos, synth-driven sound and relentless New Romantic foppery. Hearts broke when the group splintered in 1986 – but now it's time to bring back the eyeliner. The Fab Five, all fortysomething dads, regrouped to play sold-out concerts last year from London to L.A. to Tokyo, and just released the CD Astronaut. (And true to form, they took 3-½ hours for hair, makeup and styling before this photo shoot.) Singer Simon LeBon, 45, bassist John Taylor, 44, drummer Roger Taylor, 44, guitarist Andy Taylor, 43, and keyboardist Nick Rhodes, 42, talked to PEOPLE about reuniting, raising adolescent kids and regretting fashion faux pas.

Bachelor alum and Bachelorette-to-be Jen Schefft wasn't always so enthusiastic about finding love on reality TV. In the fall of 2002, while watching Aaron Buerge on the first season of The Bachelor with pal Michelle Kaminski, Schefft said, "God help me if I need to go on a dating show to meet a guy."

But after Kaminski convinced her to apply and producers contacted her, Schefft was on her way. As for her broken engagement to Andrew Firestone following her first go on The Bachelor, Schefft says she's moved on: "There's a time period that you're sad and don't want to deal with relationships. And then you start to feel like yourself again – I'm definitely ready to find someone and start over."
