<p> Walking the Walk No More
</p>
<p> Over the years fashion shows have become increasingly circus-like,
and now that models' movie-star boyfriends have begun showing
up among the socialites and fashion heavies, the seasonal scenes
in Paris, Milan and New York City have become wilder than ever.
One supermodel has had enough. "The idea of a fashion show being
a social event is a weird thing to me," says CHRISTY TURLINGTON,
announcing that she has quit doing runway work. "I always feel
kind of silly at shows, but I prefer to be onstage to being
in the audience because that's where all the catfighting goes
on." Turlington's decision could cost her about $250,000 a year.
She is taking classes in fiction writing--maybe that's how
she will fill her extra time.

<p> Husband Kisses Wife!
</p>
<p> Was it the kiss of the century? To the audience at Radio City
Music Hall and the millions watching on TV, it certainly seemed
so. Newlyweds MICHAEL JACKSON and LISA MARIE PRESLEY were the
surprise openers of the MTV video-awards ceremony last week,
and they engaged in a tentative, clearly unspontaneous but authentic
smooch. "Just think, nobody thought this would last," said Michael.
The show ended with another unlikely couple: David Letterman
and Madonna. Said Madonna: "And you thought we wouldn't last."

<p> Talking GATT with Sly
</p>
<p> In her new autobiography, BARBARA BUSH describes many of a First
Lady's privileges, and one of them was meeting "the best of
the best." But when she encountered a celebrity, she was often
unimpressed. Richard Gere was memorable because he brought "his
girl with the mole, Cindy Crawford." Sylvester Stallone, Bush
writes with suppressed astonishment, was "very bright." And
she remembers Andre Agassi not for his charm but because he
gave her the shorts and shirt he wore when he won Wimbledon.
</p>
<p> SEEN & HEARD
</p>
<p> Prying telephoto lenses have generally been aimed at female
members of the English royal family, but last week the German
tabloid Bild published a picture of a naked--and remarkably
well-muscled--PRINCE OF WALES. CHARLES was snapped secretly
as he toweled off inside a French chateau, where he had gone
for a vacation.
</p>
<p> And speaking of princes, the pop star formerly known as PRINCE
is reportedly negotiating to write music for Showgirls, the
upcoming movie from screenwriter Joe Ezsterhas and director
Paul Verhoeven, the perpetrators of Basic Instinct. The un-Prince's
last screen compositions--for 1993's I'll Do Anything--wound
up on the cutting-room floor.
