HOLLYWOOD, July 5, 2000 -- No apple pie and coffee for Agent Cooper tonight. The Double-R Diner's been burned down. Yes, Washington state's own Mar-T Cafe -- the stand-in for the Double-R on "Twin Peaks," David Lynch's weirdo 1990-91 ABC series about pie, coffee, Agent Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and a dead girl wrapped in plastic -- was gutted in a suspected arson Sunday.
"I have no idea who would burn my restaurant down," Mar-T owner Kyle Tweede tells the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "Take my money; that's one thing. But burning down the restaraunt affects a lot of people. Why would someone do that?"
Police believe someone did "that" after robbing the North Bend restaurant of $450 in cash. The fire caused an additional $250,000 in damage.
Twede is vowing to rebuild. That's the way Agent Cooper would have wanted it.

HOLLYWOOD, June 2, 2000 -- Heather Graham's long list of ex-boyfriends just got longer. The actress' publicist confirms today that the 30-year-old "Austin Powers" star has split with her boyfriend of two years, Hollywood multi-hyphenate Edward Burns ("Saving Private Ryan").
No reason for the split was given. The breakup was termed "amicable" by Graham's camp.
Graham and Burns were particularly notorious on the celebrity circuit for public displays of affection, in general, and appearing joined at the lips, in specific.
Certainly, though, Graham is no stranger to the breakup. Ex-beaus include: James Woods, Kyle MacLachlan, actor Elias Koteas and her "Lost in Space" director Stephen Hopkins.
Burns, 32, who wrote, directed and starred in his own breakout vehicle, 1995's "The Brothers McMullen", previously was linked to Maxine Bahns, his "McMullen" leading la

Dinosaurs snapped back to life this weekend as Buena Vista/Disney's "Dinosaur" kicked off to nearly $39 million.
The PG-rated, computer-animated feature, which cut short the chart-topping reign of DreamWorks' "Gladiator," set a record as the year's biggest opening with an ESTIMATED $38.6 million at 3,257 theaters ($11,860 per theater).
"Dinosaur's" per-theater average was the highest for any film playing in wide or limited release this weekend.
"I think it's great," Buena Vista Distribution president Chuck Viane said Sunday morning.
Noting that some studios had estimated the picture as opening to even bigger numbers, Viane said, "I know some of my competitors have given me more credit than we're giving ourselves, but I'd rather see it than say it and then have to back off. If tomorrow (when actual weekend figures are released) it's a bigger num

A "Dino"-mite opening by Disney's "Dinosaur" should cut DreamWorks' "Gladiator" down to size this weekend.
After its two-week box office reign, "Gladiator" should fall prey to Buena Vista/Disney's opening of its PG-rated computer-animated "Dinosaur" at 3,257 theaters.
"Dinosaur's" 21% first-choice tracking doesn't really tell the whole story, according to insiders. "It's just fine, because kids' movies don't track," says one executive.
Estimates by Hollywood handicappers of just how big "Dinosaur" will open range from a cautious $25-35 million to a really exuberant $35-40 million. Making projections even more challenging is the fact that a great many "Dinosaur" tickets will be sold at reduced prices to children.
"'Lion King' did $40.9 million in its opening weekend," explains one source. "Now, it opened the end of June. Kids were out of school

"Gladiator" continued to rule the box office this weekend, collecting another $24 million in tribute from moviegoers.
The R-rated action adventure from DreamWorks easily held on to first place in its second week with a hefty ESTIMATED $24.3 million (-30%) at 2,943 theaters (+40 theaters; $8,257 per theater). Its cume is approximately $73.3 million, heading for about $150 million in domestic theaters.
"Gladiator's" per theater average was the highest for any film playing in wide release this weekend.
"Obviously, it's a strong hold," DreamWorks distribution head Jim Tharp said Sunday morning. "The positive word-of-mouth continues to be very strong."
Although DreamWorks is distributing "Gladiator" domestically, Universal is releasing it internationally. The two studios are 50-50 partners, sharing equally in its success. The film reportedly cost $1

DreamWorks' "Gladiator" should be victorious again on the box office battlefield this weekend.
With "Gladiator" still commanding a 30% first-choice tracking score among opening and released movies, there's little doubt the R-rated action adventure will keep a tight grip on the top spot.
If "Gladiator" slips 36% from its $34.8 million opening, its second weekend tribute will still be a handsome sum of about $22 million.
DreamWorks is distributing "Gladiator" domestically, while Universal is releasing it internationally. The two studios co-financed the film, which reportedly cost $103 million to make, and are 50-50 partners, sharing equally in its success.
Directed by Ridley Scott, it stars Russell Crowe.
