His marriage may have been planned in heaven, but 16-year-old Guru Maharaj Ji needed earthly approval from Colorado's juvenile court last week before wedding his secretary, Marolyn Lois Johnson, 24. As head of a multimillion-dollar religious conglomerate and spiritual leader to a reputed 6 million followers of the Divine Light Mission round the world, the portly "perfect master" had little trouble convincing Judge Morris E. Cole that he was mature enough. He then doffed his Indian robes for a dark tuxedo, the bride dressed in a red and white gown and bedecked herself with flowers on her toes, and they exchanged vows. At the guru's $80,000 Denver home, guests eyed a mountain of wedding gifts, including a cabin cruiser parked on the lawn and a silver Masarati with JUST MARRIED neatly whitewashed on its rear window.

"It is a sign of national charisma. Either that or it's a new gauge of popularity," said Oregon Governor Tom McCall after winning the Governors' competition in the annual Calaveras County Jumping Frog Jubilee (inspired by Mark Twain's celebrated story). Thanks to a five-year-old bullfrog named John's Long Tom, McCall bested 30 rival gubernatorial frogophiles and walked away with first prize for the third time in six years. Neighboring California Governor Ronald Reagan's frog finished a dismal 20th. The booby prize in the candidates' competition went to California's Lieutenant Governor Ed Reinecke, who was recently indicted on a charge of lying to the Senate Judiciary Committee. His entry, which he vengefully named Jaworski, was disqualified for refusing to jump at all.

Following in the prop wash of Airport, the movie Airport 1975 promises to have even more stars aboard. In the cast are Myrna Loy, Gloria Swanson, Karen Black, Charlton Heston, Efrem Zimbalist Jr.--and Pop Star Helen Reddy (I Am Woman), who makes her movie debut as a singing nun. In one scene, Reddy is seated at Washington's Dulles Airport next to Nun Martha Scott, who points out Celebrity Gloria Swanson, surrounded by the press. "She must be an actress," says Reddy. "Or worse," replies Scott. This dialogue seemed unconvincing to the first actress who was approached for the role that Swanson ultimately took. "What," asked Greta Garbo, "could be worse than being an actress?"

When the first issue of womenSports rolled off the presses last week, Billie Jean King appeared not only as cover subject and writer but as product huckster in four ads. Such full-court cover age is the prerogative of tennis' leading lady who, with her husband Larry, also happens to be womenSports' publisher. A cheerful blend of consciousness raising and coaching, issue No. 1 includes a guide to winning by Billie Jean and a doctor's report on the physical capacity of women to compete with men (highly favorable, except in contact sports). The first run is a healthy 325,000 copies, and Publisher King hopes that the monthly will attract men as well as women. She already has one male reader: to pay off a bet he lost after his match with King last September, Bobby Riggs signed on as a charter subscriber.

-An ex-wife's lot can be unhappy if she has been cast off by Uganda's temperamental President, General Idi ("Big Daddy") Amin Dado, 48. Earlier this year Amin divorced three of his four wives. Last month Mama Malyamu, 36, Amin's first wife and mother of six of his 14 children, was charged with smuggling, fined $95 and held in jail for two weeks. Last week Kay Amin, mother of four, was seized in Kampala, allegedly in possession of a submachine gun and ammunition. According to Radio Uganda, a contrite Kay was escorted to Parliament at her own request to apologize to her ex-husband. Amin, according to the radio report, directed his erstwhile helpmeet "never to involve herself in dirty activities nor be deceived or confused by wrong people."

An eleven-month stay in a Swiss prison following the collapse of his Investors Overseas Services empire has hardly crimped Bernie Cornfeld's style. Now free on $1.6 million bail, the one time booster of mutual funds was enjoying the good life last week in his 40-room Beverly Hills mansion. On hand to speed his rehabilitation, and help him forget the $122.5 million in lawsuits that he faces, were a covey of admiring roommates. "I have 22 bedrooms, and 19 of them are occupied," said Cornfeld proudly. "Women give life sparkle and keep things from getting drab." Then, turning philosophical, he added, "I don't have huge expectations from any kind of friendship. In the final analysis, we're all pretty much alone."
