<p>Whoof! There He Isn't
</p>
<p> Bid farewell to the fist roller. On the air since 1989, TV talk-show
host ARSENIO HALL has decided to raise a white flag in the late-night
wars. In recent months, ratings for the Arsenio Hall Show have
dipped to half those of Late Night with David Letterman and
the Tonight Show. Hall, known for his all-too-ingratiating manner
with guests--including Louis Farrakhan--called the move
"the most complicated decision of my life."

<p>SEEN & HEARD
</p>
<p> Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, where are you? Buckingham Palace
has announced that Prince Charles lost his dog, Pooh, during
a walk at Balmoral, the royal family's estate in Scotland. The
prince is offering an unspecified reward for information leading
to Pooh's return.
</p>
<p> Despite a new ordinance forbidding smoking in Cincinnati's Riverboat
Stadium, irrepressible Reds owner Marge Schott defiantly lit
up through four games at the start of the season. She said she
didn't care if anyone complained, but since city officials have
warned her to stop, Schott has complied with the ban. Now she
clutches her cigarettes during the games.
</p>
<p> Like many veejays on MTV before him, Adam Curry has decided
to pursue bigger dreams. Without alerting his bosses, Curry
announced on air last week that he was quitting to participate
in "the digital revolution." In the age of 500-channel and interactive
TV, he said, he could no longer justify "introducing Beavis
and Butt-head."
</p>
<p>Breaking Up Is Hard to Do
</p>
<p> ROSEANNE and TOM ARNOLD have now proved themselves to be celebritydom's
most profoundly confused couple. Amid rumors that Tom was having
an affair with the couple's former assistant, Roseanne filed
for divorce early last week, claiming she was a "classic battered
and abused wife." Within 48 hours, Tom publicly begged for a
reconciliation. "I love Rosie," he said. "I'm not an adulterer.
I've been a loving and supportive husband." That seemed to do
the trick. By week's end the TV star had withdrawn divorce papers,
apologized to her husband and his alleged paramour, and blamed
"outsiders, nasty gossip and lies" for the temporary split.
</p>
<p>Will Their Smiles Slay?
</p>
<p> With lines like "There's a word for you ladies, but it's seldom
used outside of a kennel," The Women, George Cukor's 1939 film
about wicked socialites and the husbands who cheat on them,
represented the height of brittle Hollywood wit. Given the film's
cynicism, it's hard to imagine the eternally vulnerable JULIA
ROBERTS and the eternally chipper MEG RYAN starring in a remake,
but that's just what they hope to do. In their hands, they say,
the movie will be about "how we live with our emancipation."
They add, "We love that these women could slay with a word."
