Lying awake nights sweating over Elizabeth Berkley's career? Relax. The Showgirls star is playing GOLDIE HAWN's husband's mistress in The First Wives Club. "We have to afford people some mistakes," says Hawn of Berkley. "She's a lovely girl." The sisterly goodwill has apparently spread to the whole cast. Of working with Hawn and BETTE MIDLER, DIANE KEATON says, "It has heightened my impression of how talented they are. They're the major fascinating women of all time."

Many kids no doubt appreciate the tip, but Motion Picture Association of America head Jack Valenti doesn't. He told USA Today...
...Berkley's overwrought performance as Nomi is the final insult. The former "Saved By The Bell" actress makes you long for the wit and subtlety of Sharon Stone's crotch-flashing in "Basic Instinct." Berkley's version of the cliched femme fatale is all pants and snarls, without a hint of irony. As for the male characters, they remain locked in even more unsavory cliches: pockmarked pimp, hustler-with-a-heart-of-gold...
