- <p>BACK TO BATTLE, FOR A KISS
- </p>
- <p> ROSEANNE ARNOLD is having an all new skirmish with ABC. This
- time she and the network (which broadcasts Roseanne) are arguing
- over a racy scene in an upcoming episode. In the show, Arnold
- goes to a gay bar, dances with a patron played by Mariel Hemingway
- and kisses her. Mrs. Arnold's husband Tom says ABC has refused
- to air the episode. But the network insists that it is negotiating
- with producers "as to how the kiss will be depicted."

- <p>SEEN & HEARD
- </p>
- <p> Tune in to the Late Show with David Letterman if you require
- more than the two-plus hours of nightly Olympics coverage cbs
- will provide over the next couple of weeks. David Letterman
- has sent a special correspondent to report from Lillehammer--his mother Dorothy. Her first interview is with Hillary Rodham
- Clinton; watch out, Connie Chung.
- </p>
- <p> While posing for the latest of Sports Illustrated's fabled swimsuit
- issues, Kathy Ireland faced a tricky challenge: concealing the
- fact that she was four months pregnant. (It will be the first
- child for her and her doctor husband.) How did she do it? "As
- a model you learn to hide things," she says. "Junior just looked
- like a few too many hot-fudge sundaes."

- <p> The grand jury inquiring into accusations of child molestation
- against Michael Jackson began meeting last week. Its first witness:
- Miko Brando, a member of another famously troubled show-biz
- family. The son of Marlon worked as Jackson's bodyguard for
- several years.

- <p>EDDIE MURPHY TELETHON?
- </p>
- <p> Starring in the remake of a JERRY LEWIS movie may not be the
- most obvious career choice for EDDIE MURPHY, but he needs a
- hit, so why not? Murphy will appear in a new version of The
- Nutty Professor. In the 1963 original, Lewis played a nerdy
- scholar whom a potion transforms into Buddy Love, a Dean Martin-esque
- lounge singer. (Murphy could update the role as a geneticist
- turned Hammer-esque R.-and-B. star.) Maybe Lewis anticipated
- the improbable casting, having once said of the film, "I thought
- it was everybody's story."

- <p>ACHY BREAKY HUNK
- </p>
- <p> His arrival could signal an end to America's love affair with
- Billy Ray Cyrus: country singer JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY not
- only has swoonmaking good looks (thanks in part to a better
- barber than Billy Ray's), but his latest CD, Kickin' It Up,
- has suddenly hit No. 1 on both Billboard's country chart and
- its pop chart. Adding to his good fortune, Montgomery won an
- American Music Award last week for favorite new country artist.
- Although he has a penchant for singing lyrics like, "Till death
- do us part/ I'll love you with every beat of my heart," Montgomery
- is a real-life lonely guy. Twenty-nine and very single, he softly
- confesses, "I'm hopin' maybe I'll meet someone soon who'll be
- that special person." But then he adds, with a country musician's
- proper sense of melancholy, "I realize there's no way to plan
- on these kinds of things."
