- <p>A REAL MODEL, A REAL ACTRESS
- </p>
- <p> Models who want to be model-actresses do not lead easy lives,
- and most never graduate from made-for-Italian-TV movies about
- Rollerblading. But LIV TYLER, the 16-year-old model daughter
- of Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, already has a real part in a real
- film. She makes her acting debut as the lead in Silent Fall,
- a thriller by director Bruce Beresford. But a successful career
- in front of both still and movie cameras isn't all Liv aspires
- to. "I want to study aroma therapy, massage and art," says the
- teenager. "I want to be a jack-of-all-trades."

- <p>NEW ROLE, OLD FLAME
- </p>
- <p> Perhaps Anjelica Huston and Jack Nicholson did not realize it
- at the time, but their less-than-placid 17-year love affair
- was actually an elaborate Method-acting exercise. The pair,
- who split unamicably four years ago when he fathered the child
- of actress Rebecca Broussard, will confront each other on the
- set of The Crossing Guard, a film to be directed by the pugnacious
- Sean Penn in which Nicholson and his ex will play a divorced
- couple.

- <p>AVAST, ME MATEYS, A COMEDY AT SEA!
- </p>
- <p> For too long, moviegoers have been deprived of works in one
- of film's most delightful genres: the absurd maritime adventure.
- But thanks to Jerry Lewislike funnyman CHRIS ELLIOTT, the form
- will now be given new life. A onetime writer for Late Night
- with David Letterman and star of the woefully short-lived surrealist
- sitcom Get a Life, Elliott is heading the cast of a ridiculous
- sea tale called Cabin Boy. Elliott conceived the story, which
- involves a rich kid headed for a cruise who inadvertently boards
- a rickety fishing trawler and winds up a menial deckhand. "I
- was thinking Thor Heyerdahl adventure," says Elliott, referring
- to the author, ethnologist and heroic navigator who sailed a
- balsa-wood raft from Peru to Polynesia.

- <p>SEEN & HEARD
- </p>
- <p> Unlike most of her Euro-royal peers, Princess Diana did not
- spend the holiday week skiing in Gstaad or sipping Camparis
- in Anguilla. Instead this troubled wife of Windsor chose our
- East Coast as her vacation spot. Di spent time in New York City
- and Washington visiting old friends and the National Gallery
- and even budget-shopping. She went to a Banana Republic and
- purchased a pair of size-6 jeans--after a shamefaced saleswoman
- first suggested she try on a pair of size 8s.

- <p> It sometimes seems as if every lawyer in the world must be either
- suing or defending Michael Jackson. His latest legal battle
- pits him against the promoters of his abandoned world-concert
- tour. They are suing him for $20 million, arguing that Jackson's
- addiction impaired his ability to perform and claiming that
- he concealed his condition from them when he agreed to the tour.
- </p>
- <p> Song-and-dance woman turned perky spiritualist Shirley MacLaine
- has had to abandon her dream of constructing a New Age commune
- on a 34-acre, $1.5 million mountaintop site she bought in Santa
- Fe, New Mexico. A Native American friend of MacLaine's named
- Two Moons had indicated that if anyone should live on the land,
- it should be MacLaine. But locals protested that the site was
- too environmentally fragile to accommodate the star's building
- plans. After a bitter dispute, she agreed to sell the property.
