TRUE BEAUTY IS IN THE SIGHS OF THE BEHOLDER

Hollywood's most beautiful body parts, according to a survey of personal Tinseltown trainers in InStyle magazine:

Best legs: Mel Gibson ("looks pretty in a kilt") and Demi Moore ("totally lean but well-muscled").

Best chest: "Lois & Clark's" Dean Cain and Maria Grazia Cucinotta of "Il Postino" ("nothing that a little Wonderbra and a lot of saline couldn't almost - but not in a million years - duplicate").

Best back: Sharon Stone ("a work of art").

Best arms: "Marky" Mark Wahlberg and Angela Bassett.

Best abs: Christy Turlington.

Best butt: Elisabeth Shue and Antonio Banderas ("it sends women - and some men - swooning").

Loose talk

Rosie Perez, on critical reaction to her upcoming "Somebody to Love" (in Entertainment Weekly): "Roger Ebert came up to me and said, `Rosie, this is a wonderful film.' I was like, `Oh my Gawd, it's the fat man! He likes the movie!"'

His birthday treat? Cheech cake, of course

Tommy Chong turns 58 today.

No, wait, Mr. Ebert - he's not talking to you

"Striptease" director Andrew Bergman, on Demi Moore's daring, baring performance (in US magazine): "It's a huge risk. Jim Carrey gets $20 million to make funny faces; he doesn't have to take his clothes off. People say, `Oh, she's getting money for nothing.' Well, try it. I dare you."

Funny, she doesn't take to water that way

Yes, that's "Baywatch" babe Pamela Anderson doing her own motorcycle stunts in the critically unacclaimed "Barb Wire." Said Michael Lock, chief executive officer of the Triumph motorcycle company: "She took to it like a duck to water."

Oh, sort of like the Monkees or something

Michael Keaton plays four different versions of a guy who tries to handle his busy life by hatching clones in his new film "Multiplicity." As he explains in Entertainment Weekly: "I didn't want to play me, then me again, then me again - that would get boring. So we asked, `What would happen if one little gene got shoved over just a bit during the cloning process? How would that change his personality?"'

The horse has remorse, of course, of course

Jack Lemmon went to the hospital with a swollen ankle earlier this week after a horse got spooked by music on the set of his new movie, "My Fellow Americans," and stepped on the 71-year-old actor's leg.

We're willing to bet Bubbles won't be so lucky

Cheetah, the chimpanzee co-star of the old "Tarzan" movies, is retired in Palm Springs at age 64 and swilling 11 pints of beer a day. Adds owner Dan Westfall: "And once a month, as long as he behaves himself, I give him a few bottles of schnapps."
