- <p> Over the years fashion shows have become increasingly circus-like,
- and now that models' movie-star boyfriends have begun showing
- up among the socialites and fashion heavies, the seasonal scenes
- in Paris, Milan and New York City have become wilder than ever.
- One supermodel has had enough. "The idea of a fashion show being
- a social event is a weird thing to me," says CHRISTY TURLINGTON,
- announcing that she has quit doing runway work. "I always feel
- kind of silly at shows, but I prefer to be onstage to being
- in the audience because that's where all the catfighting goes
- on." Turlington's decision could cost her about $250,000 a year.
- She is taking classes in fiction writing--maybe that's how
- she will fill her extra time.

- <p> Husband Kisses Wife!
- </p>
- <p> Was it the kiss of the century? To the audience at Radio City
- Music Hall and the millions watching on TV, it certainly seemed
- so. Newlyweds MICHAEL JACKSON and LISA MARIE PRESLEY were the
- surprise openers of the MTV video-awards ceremony last week,
- and they engaged in a tentative, clearly unspontaneous but authentic
- smooch. "Just think, nobody thought this would last," said Michael.
- The show ended with another unlikely couple: David Letterman
- and Madonna. Said Madonna: "And you thought we wouldn't last."

- <p> Talking GATT with Sly
- </p>
- <p> In her new autobiography, BARBARA BUSH describes many of a First
- Lady's privileges, and one of them was meeting "the best of
- the best." But when she encountered a celebrity, she was often
- unimpressed. Richard Gere was memorable because he brought "his
- girl with the mole, Cindy Crawford." Sylvester Stallone, Bush
- writes with suppressed astonishment, was "very bright." And
- she remembers Andre Agassi not for his charm but because he
- gave her the shorts and shirt he wore when he won Wimbledon.

- <p> SEEN & HEARD
- </p>
- <p> Prying telephoto lenses have generally been aimed at female
- members of the English royal family, but last week the German
- tabloid Bild published a picture of a naked--and remarkably
- well-muscled--PRINCE OF WALES. CHARLES was snapped secretly
- as he toweled off inside a French chateau, where he had gone
- for a vacation.
- </p>
- <p> And speaking of princes, the pop star formerly known as PRINCE
- is reportedly negotiating to write music for Showgirls, the
- upcoming movie from screenwriter Joe Ezsterhas and director
- Paul Verhoeven, the perpetrators of Basic Instinct. The un-Prince's
- last screen compositions--for 1993's I'll Do Anything--wound
- up on the cutting-room floor.
