There goes the fictional neighborhood; Venus on Mars: La Hurley makes the Red Planet blush. Plus: Seinfeld, bride-poacher. - - - - - - - - - - - - You think supermodeling is easy? Cindy Crawford, Rebecca Romijn-Stamos and Daisy Fuentes beg to differ. For instance, the flattery can be oh so tiresome. "During a shoot, people are shouting, 'Rebecca, you're beautiful. You look beautiful. You look beautiful,'" says Romijn-Stamos in an upcoming Mademoiselle interview with all three models. But, finishes Crawford, "It's not about you." What's more, too much gorgeousness can ruin a person's appetite. "If my husband and I are having dinner with another couple," says Crawford, "I don't go as a supermodel. I put on less makeup. I wear a ponytail. And nothing tight. I don't want that to get in the way of a woman being open to me as a person." But the same doesn't go for mere mortals. "If someone dresses out of the hamper, it says something about their personality," Fuentes opines. "I don't make the decision about whether that's a good person or a bad person, or if that is somebody that I want to associate with or not, but it does send me a message about who that person is." Uh, that they're real? - - - - - - - - - - - - Larry King's his second choice "Incidentally, Don, I need an advisor to tell me how to communicate to old men, and I was wondering if you might have some free time ... being as you're probably the only guy I know who can advise both on Medicare and child care." -- Al Gore, giving a little guff back to Don Imus on the I-man's radio show. - - - - - - - - - - - - Roll out the Welcome Wagon What a surprise! A new survey has found that baby boomers would rather live next door to the Waltons than the Clintons when they retire. According to a national poll conducted by the Del Webb Corporation, boomers would sooner share a fence with the Golden Girls, the Cosbys, Frasier and the Brady Bunch than with Bill and Hill. So much for those friendly neighborhood key parties. - - - - - - - - - - - - The uncultured club "I'm a complete gay chauvinist pig ... I treat men in the way a really bullish man treats a woman." -- Boy George, revealing that he really does want to hurt them and make them cry, in the London Times. - - - - - - - - - - - - Juicy bits Club Monaco had better stock up on lipstick. Monica Lewinsky and Barbara Walters are set to have another televised chat as part of Walters' "20 Most Fascinating People of 1999," which will air on Nov. 30. Will Monica cry? Who cares? If I have to listen to the two of them discussing phone sex again, I'll cry. And speaking of stalkers ... Athena Marie Rolando, the stalkette who broke into Brad Pitt's L.A. pad, tried on his clothes and napped in his bed last February, is now facing jail time for skipping her court-ordered therapy sessions, claiming she can't afford them. Maybe she could auction off the sweat pants at Christie's. And speaking of Brad Pitt ... British censors have demanded that the most violent scenes in the actor's latest flick, "Fight Club," be cut prior to its release in the U.K. They may as well cut the film's completely nonsensical ending while they're at it. Men are from Mars; Elizabeth Hurley is just visiting. The British actress poses wearing far less than her trademark safety-pin dress in the upcoming issue of Tina Brown's Talk magazine. Patrick Demarchelier (Princess Diana's favorite photographer) snapped the campy photo, in which Hurley naps on "the Red Planet," as little green men stand by and gape. Aliens, they're all the same. Jerry Seinfeld's making an honest woman of Jessica Sklar, whom he began seeing just after she returned from her honeymoon with Broadway producer Eric Nederlander. Lovely, but if I were Jessica, I might think twice before licking those invitation envelopes. Good thing time is on Mick Jagger's side; his family isn't. Jerry Hall recently told Tatler magazine she's "very glad" she divorced him. What's more, says Hall, the couple's son James recently confronted his dad about his career: "Dad you wear make-up, you wear funny costumes and you wiggle your bum in front of thousands of people. What do you think that makes you?" Hope the little feller didn't get a tongue-lashing for that one, especially considering the tongue in question.
