Sometimes it really is a small, small world. Next week DreamWorks--the studio founded by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen--opens its first cartoon feature, Antz. The computer-animated story of life in an ant colony, Antz features the voices of Woody Allen, Sharon Stone, Sylvester Stallone and Dan Aykroyd. In November Pixar, the creator of Toy Story, and Disney, the studio where Katzenberg was chairman for 10 years, plan to release A Bug's Life, which also happens to be the computer-animated story of life in an ant colony. It features the voices of NewsRadio...
...fund has become "a way for people to express how they feel about Starr." Which is what seems to have spurred Hollywood's elite into action. "There is a well financed group of zealots who want to bring down the President ... and he's broke," claimed entertainment mogul David Geffen, who joined the Spielbergs, Hankses and Streisands in giving the maximum $10,000 contribution.

Among the guests: John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg, David Geffen, Streisand's mother, songwriters Alan and Marilyn Bergman (the only invitees who knew the wedding date well in advance; all others were invited on short notice over the phone), "Tootsie" director Sidney Pollack, designer Donna Karan (who made the wedding dress), music producer Quincy Jones and composer Marvin Hamlisch, who conducted a 16-piece orchestra playing "Here Comes the Bride." Despite one L.A. newscast's report that Streisand's close friend President Clinton planned to cut short his China visit in order to attend...
Some industry veterans figure Bronfman isn't done reshuffling yet. Speculation lingers about a sale to DreamWorks, though DreamWorks partner David Geffen says, "That's a made-up story." Some expect Diller, still assembling his new USA Networks Inc., to play a larger role, but Diller denies that, saying "I have enough to do." He says he doesn't even discuss Universal's business with Bronfman. As for the harsh reviews that Bronfman's recent performance has received, Diller dismisses them. "Hollywood turns on everybody and then turns back," he says. "Such is the nature of the process." In other...
...band's new CD, A Thousand Leaves (Geffen), is one of its best. The quartet--singer-bassist Kim Gordon, drummer Steve Shelley and singer-guitarists Lee Ranaldo and Moore (who is married to Gordon)--has always been given to experimentation, but on this CD the Sonics bring it off with new vigor and maturity...
