ROB LOWE ORDERED OUT OF THE SUN

Hollywood star Rob Lowe has been ordered to stay out of the sun after his television bosses objected to him becoming too tan. Rob,who plays Senator Robert McCallister on the television show "Brothers & Sisters," lives in sunny Montecito, Calif., with his wife and their teenage sons. But the actor had to give up playing outdoor sports with his family after his bosses were angered by his sunny tan. He says, "I got a phone call from the president of ABC who said, 'You're getting too dark. Seriously, stay out of the sun.' I go, 'I'm not tanning. I'm active. I surf and I kayak.'" And Lowe blames his pale co-stars for him now having to slather on the sunscreen before stepping outside. He adds, "If you stand next to Calista Flockhart, anybody's going to look like (singer) Harry Belafonte. I wear (sunscreen) over my entire face and a hat that has a chin strap. I look like the biggest idiot."
