HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 6, 2001 -- So far it's been a busy week in TV news. Here's a quick round-up:Not a Safe 'Bette':CBS' fledgling sitcom "Bette" has been given the ax. Though the show posted impressive ratings after its premiere last fall, recent numbers have been in the basement.

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 31, 2000 -- The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has released new guidelines limiting the methods in which film companies may campaign for Academy Awards. Ric Robertson, an Academy executive administrator, said in a press release that the guidelines are similar to last year's, with most of the changes meant to clarify existing rules. One specific change from last year, though is that a member cannot be sent both a videotape and a DVD of the same motion picture. The Academy's communications director, John Pavlik, told Hollywood.com that the guideline was created for two reasons: It allows studios to send out only one version of a motion picture, and the guideline conveys that the purpose of sending out motion pictures to members is not to build up their movie collections. Violations of the Academy's guidelines are generally punish

HOLLYWOOD, Mar. 6, 2001 -- In these turbulent times, films dealing with high school violence are being shelved -- presenting a serious problem for the film, "O," a modern-day retelling of Shakespeare's "Othello" that takes place in a high school. Dimension Films and its Miramax parent completed the film in the summer of 1999. As in the play, the tragedy ends with four characters brutally killed, one wounded and the others left asking "Why?" The movie stars Julia Stiles, Mekhi Phifer, Josh Hartnett and Martin Sheen.When executives screened the film, it was a little more than a month after the Columbine High School shootings, and the violence depicted sent up warning flares.

HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 10, 2000 -- Wilbur Rimes, father to country-singing superstar LeAnn Rimes, isn't taking his daughter's lawsuit against him lying down. Her dad, who was at one time her producer and manager, is firing back with a suit of his own. And what he's saying about his young daughter isn't pretty. Wilbur Rimes filed a counter suit against his 18-year-old daughter in response to the singer's suit, which claims he fleeced her out of millions of dollars while he managed her career, according to Inside.com.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 13, 2000 -- OK, kids, can we say "bye bye"? The Associated Press reports a very sad day in the neighborhood indeed as Fred Rogers, better known as the title host and creator of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," announced his departure from the long-running children's show over the weekend. The 71-year-old Rogers, who has hosted the kiddie series for 33 years, will be taping his final episode in 2001.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 6, 2000 -- Whitney Houston might get a chance to keep her record clean as a whistle after all. Lawyers representing the pop diva pleaded no contest in Hawaii on her part for the marijuana possession charge against her, Reuters reports. By pleading no contest last Thursday, Kona District Judge Joseph Florendo ruled that Houston, 37, could have the case dismissed if Houston agrees to a probation-like sentence. As part of the agreement, Houston would have to pay $1,000 to the Hawaii State General Fund as well as $3,000 to a youth-oriented anti-drug program. Three misdemeanor charges could be dismissed in as soon as three months. Houston's legal troubles began on Jan. 11 when an airport security guard searched her back and allegedly found half an ounce of marijuana in two plastic baggies. Three partially smoked joints were also found.

HOLLYWOOD, June 27, 2000 -- Back in the days when KISS was a renegade rock 'n' roll band, it was rumored that their name was an acronym for Knights In Satan's Service. But after the much-publicized KISS auction last weekend at Paramount Studios here in Hollywood, we can think of better ones: "Krap Inc. Salvage Sale," or maybe "Kapitalists In Self-Service." And we're sure of at least one thing: Gene Simmons never throws away anything. Anything. Let's say you're a KISS fan, a real die-hard. OK, how much would you pay for a New Year's greeting card that Simmons once received from bandmate Paul Stanley? A card imprinted with the saying, "Is it my imagination, or is life getting better?" and bearing Paul's handwritten inscription: "Dear Gene, hope you like these. Thanks for another great year. -- Paul." Well, somebody from Baton Rouge paid $850 for it. That's 850 bucks, not $

HOLLYWOOD, May 11, 2000 -- LeAnn Rimes' life has taken a country music turn, with the 17-year-old crooner alleging that her own daddy helped ripped her off to the tune of $7 million. Today's Dally Morning News reports that Rimes filed suit against her pa, Wilbur C. Rimes, and her ex-manager, Lyle Walker, on May 2 in a Lone Star state court. The complaint alleges that the two men conspired to skim her earnings for five years. Wilbur split with LeAnn's mom in 1997. Wilbur and Walker were shown the door as her managers in December. An attorney for Wilbur calls Rimes' allegations "completely false."
SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 12, 2000 -- Is this a job for Puff Daddy? To be sure, Jennifer Lopez is short a leading man after Aaron Eckhart ("Erin Brockovich") fled the actress's "Angel Eyes" just one month before the romantic comedy was to go before cameras. Today's Daily Variety says Eckhart was unhappy with the script. Nothing like having standards to mess up a perfectly good plan.

And, oh, Julia's character favors halter tops. Inquiring minds (ours) wanted to know. Precisely how many journalists are obsessed with Julia's latest development? And, how are the stylebook-bound reporter types referring to the, uh, chest area of America's most popular woman?

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 17, 2000 -- A movie-rumor Web site that posted a purported list of Oscar nominations before they were officially announced -- and which later proved to be largely inaccurate -- could face a lawsuit for interfering with the rigid security surrounding the Academy Awards. It was not immediately clear against whom the Academy was mulling legal action, but Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences spokesman John Pavlik told Reuters: "I think that if, in fact, something comes along that shows laws were broken, we will take action against whoever broke them. This is a serious kind of thing for us. We don't like the suggestion that our secrecy can be violated." The Academy also said today it had solved the mystery as to where the phony Oscars list, which appeared Monday on the popular Ain't It Cool News Website (www.aint-it-cool-news.com), came from.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 15, 2000 -- Christina Ricci, star of such gloomy fare as "Sleepy Hollow" and "Buffalo '66," will put her experiences to work in her latest project. Daily Variety says the indie siren has agreed to grapple with depression as the star and co-producer of a big-screen version of "Prozac Nation." The movie adapts Elizabeth Wurtzel's 1994 autobiographical account of her lifelong bout with the disease. The New York writer graduated from Harvard and became a well-known journalist, but her crippling feelings once caused her to attempt suicide. Prozac, she said, was the lifesaver that helped her reshape her life. Ricci's interest in the book sparked the development of the project. The film's set to begin shooting May 15 with "Insomnia's" Erik Skjoldbjaerg at the helm. BOOB TUBE REDUX: Ex-"Roseanne" star John Goodman can't resist a return t
HOLLYWOOD, June 9, 2000 -- Nevermind Angelina Jolie. The biggest scene-stealer in "Gone in 60 Seconds" may well be Eleanor, the revving classic Mustang that Nicolas Cage is so bent to get his hands on in the car-chase flick. But despite its cool look and tough muscles, the 1967 Shelby Mustang GT 500 is still no match to its same-named predecessor, the 1973 Mach 1 Mustang in the original "Gone in 60 Seconds" -- the 1974 B-type flick that's more familiar to drive-ins than mutliplexes. Written, directed and produced on a shoe-string budget by H.B. ("Toby") Halicki (who also played the lead), the original flick was a true do-it-yourself effort in that the whole production -- a production featuring 93 cars (and 100 wrecks) -- was solely financed by the writer-director-producer. The chases and clashes -- which prominently figured in the plot about a car burglar alternately running fro
Actor David Spade pleaded guilty Wednesday in a Peoria, Ariz. court to a misdemeanor charge of reckless operation of a personal watercraft, it was reported today.

His mother, who lives in Phoenix, notified Spade of the outstanding warrant, Channel 9 reported. The actor's attorney got in touch with Peoria Justice of the Peace Lex Anderson and resolved the matter, Channel 9 reported. Today, Spade appeared before Anderson in closed chambers to enter his guilty plea, Channel 9 reported.
Oscar buzz continues at the box office this weekend as a few of the year's most highly touted films open in both wide and limited release. Tom Hanks and company lead the way in the prison drama "The Green Mile," based on the popular series by Stephen King and directed by Frank Darabont. Five years ago, Darabont came to prominence with another prison-bound tale by King called "The Shawshank Redemption." That movie, which frequently tops lists of the most popular films of all time, garnered seven Academy Award nominations. Other Oscar hopefuls include the limited releases "Cradle Will Rock" and "The Cider House Rules." "Cradle," directed by Tim Robbins and featuring an all-star cast, details the events of New York City's art scene in the 1930s. "Cider," directed by "What's Eating Gilbert Grape's" Lasse Hallstrom, is a quirky, coming-of-age love story adapted from John Irvin
