HOLLYWOOD, June 16, 2000 -- Some new angst for Donny and Marie Osmond's "Behind the Music" episode: Their TV show's been canceled. Columbia TriStar Television, the studio behind the two-year-old daytime talker, brought down the ax Thursday. The reason? Low ratings. (You were expecting a broad government conspiracy?)
"Donny & Marie" debuted in 1998. The sibling duo previously starred in "Donny and Marie" (no ampersand), the 1976-79 primetime variety show.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 25, 2000 -- Arnold Schwarzenegger has settled his $50 million lawsuit against the Globe tabloid over a 1998 story concerning his health, his publicist said Tuesday.
After the 52-year-old Schwarzenegger’s 1997 surgery to repair a heart valve, doctors had said there was no reason the star could not continue his active lifestyle. The Globe printed an article saying he was in ill health and in danger of a heart attack. The Terminator himself then sued the tabloid, alleging that the article defamed him by saying his heart was a "ticking time bomb in his chest" and that he was "living in fear that … his heart will suddenly quit."
The Globe will donate an undisclosed amount of money to Schwarzenegger’s charity, the Inner City Games Foundation, admit the story was wrong and publish a retraction, correction and apology, according to Catherine Ol

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 18, 2000 -- Milestone haircuts worked for Mia Farrow (see: "Rosemary's Baby") and Gwyneth Paltrow (see: "Sliding Doors"). But chopping off one's long locks did nothing for Keri Russell, star of the WB's "Felicity."
In fact, according to a network exec, the cut hurt the fledgling series, which won raves -- and a Golden Globe for Russell - in its first season. WB entertainment chief Susanne Daniels told reporters Monday that the reaction to Russell's crop top was "so overwhelmingly negative" that it hurt the show, which arguably was already suffering from creative drought. But Daniels won't dismiss the hair's factor in the downtrend. And just to play it safe, she says, "Nobody is cutting their hair again."
The 23-year-old Russell reportedly got tired of the long, corkscrew mane that became synonymous with her identity (and that of her show's lead

SANTA MONICA, Calif., January 17, 2000 -- So, what is Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love of All"?
Far be it for us to speculate, but it's worth noting that a Hawaiian newspaper reports that security guards at an island airport seized pot from the diva's carry-on bag last week.
Hilo's Tribune-Herald says guards found the weed (all 15.2 reputed grams of it) last Tuesday during a search of the Grammy-winning singer/actress' luggage. The bag was seized, but Houston went on to board a United Airlines flight for San Francisco anyway, escaping about 45 minutes before police arrived at Kahole-Kona International Airport, the paper said.
Hawaii police will refer the case to the local district attorney for possible prosecution, a process that could take up to a month, The Associated Press says. Possession of 15 grams of marijuana is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 30 days i
