          Sinead O'Connor has signed an exclusive, long-term worldwide
          recording contract with ATLANTIC Records, who will release
          a new album by O'Connor in 1999, in addition to re-releasing
          her most recent release, the "Gospel Oak" EP. O'Connor
          recently wrapped up a cross-country tour where she played
          some LILITH FAIR dates and other assorted shows.
          CORRECTION: A few copies of Monday's ZEN incorrectly
          had the BEASTIE BOYS album (now out on vinyl, out on
          CD next week) "Hello Nasty," incorrectly titled "Hey
          Nasty," one of the two times it was mentioned.
          I'll tell you what it is; it's some silly "Hey Ladies,"
          my mind is sticking in there subconsciously.

          MTV VJ Jesse Camp will interview his idol, Ozzy Osbourne,
          on a special Summer Tour edition of MTV NEWS 1515 airing
          throughout this weekend (Saturday at 11am and 7:30pm,
          Sunday att 11:30am and 8:30pm). The two meet up at a New
          York City hotel in a segment that will be taped today,
          the day prior to Ozzy's OZZFEST performance at the
          PNC ARTS CENTER in Holmdel. This Summer Tour edition

          divorced and living in the slums of Connecticut, while
          in reality being married and the chair of the humanities
          department at the University of Hartford, says his son
          is "a good sweet kid who has created a bit of a facade.
          He did well in school, and he had a lot of fun with
          drama... (He's) an avid reader who speaks three
          languages. My son understands the history of TV,
          and he knows that this image will work right now."

          Matt Drudge has announced he'll likely be a guest
          on LATE SHOW WITH DAVID LETTERMAN this Monday,
          July 13th. The announced guests for the night are
          Don Rickles and Rod Stewart.
          While I've yet to hear an official reason as to why, it's been
          announced that Maria Bello won't return to NBC's ER this
          fall. Bello, who stars in both PAYBACK and PERMANENT MIDNIGHT
          this fall, played Dr. Anna Del Amico.
          Andy Lawrence (Mr. Bean, Tom), the youngest Lawrence
          Brother, has replaced Ross Malinger as the voice of
          "T.J.," on RECESS, a WALT DISNEY Animation cartoon
          airing Saturday mornings on ABC. Don't go looking
          for dirt over the replacement though, as a DISNEY
          press release explains "...the time had come for
          Malinger's vocal cords to change at the ripe old
          age of 13!"
          A new season of RECESS begins September 12th.
          Debi Mazar (Batman Forever, Goodfellas) is joining the cast
          of the NBC sitcom WORKING this fall, but Dana Gould,
          Sarah Knowlton, and Kate Hodge are all departing.
          Vanessa Marcil (The Rock) is leaving her role on
          the ABC soap opera GENERAL HOSPITAL, and is
          expected to join FOX Spellingsoap BEVERLY HILLS,
          90210 early next season. In other 90210 news,
          Laura Leighton (MELROSE PLACE's Syndney) will
          appear in its first 6 episodes this fall, but
          she'll be playing a different character.
          In a new Internet message from the producers of
          DILBERT, Chris Elliot remains listed as the actor
          voicing the character of "Dogbert," despite the
          fact that early reports indicated he'd been
          replaced for sounding too much like Daniel Stern,
          who supplies the voice for the title character.
          DILBERT premieres on UPN in January.
          TWENTIETH CENTURY FOX TV and KUSHER-LOCKE have
          announced they will co-produce the mid-season
          replacement KILLER APP, a drama set at a young
          start-up software company in Silicon Valley,
          written by DOONESBURY creator Garry Trudeau
          and directed and executive produced by Robert
          Altman (The Player, M*A*S*H). Casting for
          KILLER APP is currently underway, and production
          is scheduled to begin in mid-September.

          Jennifer Love Hewitt (Party of Five) has signed on to portray
          Audrey Hepburn in an ABC TV movie.
          VARIETY reports FOX and TOUCHSTONE TV have decided not to
          proceed with a mid-season sitcom which would have starred
          comedian Dave Chappelle (Half-Baked, The Nutty Professor)
          as a stand-up comic trying to make it in New York. Chappele
          and his executive producer Peter Tolan have told VARIETY the
          sitcom was derailed because of race, and they walked away
          from the project a few weeks ago after a creative meeting
          with FOX execs left them "disgusted." They claim FOX said
          the sitcom was too black, and suggested making various
          changes to broaden its appeal.

          SHOWTIME has reached an agreement to have
          SAMUEL GOLDWYN Films distribute director
          Adrian Lyne's "controversial" LOLITA theatrically,
          following its U.S. premiere on SHOWTIME August
          2nd. LOLITA stars Jeremy Irons, Melanie Griffith,
          Frank Langella, and newcomer Dominique Swain.
          SHOWTIME Networks and REGENT Entertainment have announced
          their co-financed feature film GODS AND MONSTERS will be
          released theatrically through LIONS GATE this fall, before
          it makes its premiere on SHOWTIME. GODS is based on the
          Christopher Bram novel FATHER OF FRANKENSTEIN, and tells
          of the "strange and touching" friendship between
          FRANKENSTEIN director James Whale and his gardener, which
          ultimately parallels the relationship between
          Dr. Frankenstein and his monster. Written and directed
          by Bill Condon (Candyman II), it stars Brendan Fraser,
          Sir Ian McKellen, Lynn Redgrave (Shine), and Lolita
          Davidovich, and was executive produced by Clive Barker.
          VARIETY columnist Michael Fleming reports filming of STAR TREK:
          INSURRECTION has wrapped up, and Patrick Stewart is looking
          to next produce a number of projects. On his list is a
          mini-series adaptation of his one-man presentation of
          Charles Dickens' A CHRISTMAS CAROL he'll co-produce with
          Robert Halmi, an adaptation of the Noah Hawley novel
          A CONSPIRACY OF TALL MEN for PARAMOUNT which he'll star in,
          and an adaptation of Shari Szeman's debut novel
          THE KOMMANDANT'S MISTRESS, about the relationship between
          the commandant of a Nazi concentration camp and a Jewish inmate.
          MIRAMAX Films, Tina Brown (NEW YORK editor) and Ronald A.
          Galotti (VP of CONDE NAST and publisher of VOGUE) have
          announced plans to partner for a new, New York-based
          media venture, which will publish a new monthly magazine,
          produce films and TV programming, and publish books.
          IMAGE Entertainment will release Italian-produced cult horror
          films COLD EYES OF FEAR, THE SINFUL NUNS OF SAINT VALENTINE,
          DEVIL'S NIGHTMARE, and THE REINCARNATION OF ISABEL
          on laserdisc, video, and DVD next month, as part of a new agreement
          with REDEMPTION. Four additional REDEMPTION titles will be
          announced after the August launch date, and additional titles are
          expected to follow.

          longest version of the BBC documentary on EXORCIST,

          CORRECTION: ARMAGEDDON's estimated total gross as
          of late Sunday was listed as $34.8 million, when
          that's what it'd made from Friday to Sunday. The
          film had opened Wednesday (late Tuesday night in
          some places), and it's total gross should have
          read $52.9 million. However, since then it's final
          figures were released by EXHIBITOR RELATIONS, and
          it did better than expected, taking in $36.1 million,
          bringing that total to $54.2 million.
