- <p>Goal! Let's Start the Presses!
- </p>
- <p> ANDREW SHUE is following the career path of the obsessively
- nice character he plays on Melrose Place. Like Billy, his Melrose
- magazine writer, Shue is headed for publishing. Come June, when
- the World Cup soccer tournament begins in Dallas, Shue will
- publish a newspaper, the '94 Cup Daily, devoted to all the heady
- activities. "I wanted to build a soccer legacy here," he says.
- Shue used to play pro soccer in Zimbabwe.

- <p>Happy Birthday, Soul Man
- </p>
- <p> There are certainly less appealing ways to celebrate one's seniorhood
- than by singing with SHARON STONE. To ensure that soul king
- JAMES BROWN truly had a lively 61st, Stone wrangled herself
- away from The Specialist, a film she is shooting in Florida
- with Sly Stallone, flew to Brown's Georgia bash and joined him
- in a duet of Happy Birthday. The appreciative Brown joked that
- his sultry partner must have agreed to play chanteuse because
- "she just likes good-looking men."

- <p>A Small Victory
- </p>
- <p> For COURTNEY LOVE, last week brought a glimmer of good news
- in the midst of misery. The lead member of Hole was cleared
- of allegations that she possessed heroin in the days before
- her husband Kurt Cobain killed himself. Prosecutors said the
- substances found in Love's Beverly Hills hotel room were not
- illegal drugs but prescription pain-killers. "I am delighted
- that this nightmare is over," said the singer. "I can now concentrate
- on mourning the loss of my husband."

- <p>SEEN & HEARD
- </p>
- <p> The battle for svelteness leaves its sorriest casualties in
- the closet. Is there anyone in the U.S. with more superfluous
- plus-size clothing than the newly (if tentatively) nimble-bodied
- Oprah Winfrey? Surely not. So this June, she will bravely auction
- off her loose fits for charity. Prices will range from $20 to
- $1,000.
- </p>
- <p> For the past few weeks gossipists have been gumming that the
- seemingly cheery union between Richard Gere and Cindy Crawford
- is a sham. Rather than issue a press release attesting to their
- undying happiness, the couple shelled out $30,000 for a full-page
- ad in the Times of London to reaffirm their commitment. "We
- are heterosexual and monogamous," they bugled. "Reports of divorce
- are totally false."
