...Winners PAUL McCARTNEY Sir Silly Lovesong is Britain's first pop billionaire. Just in time: Ringo needs an advance on royalties for his CD, Remember Me? STEPHEN HAWKING Physicist is serenaded by Marilyn Monroe look-alike at 60th birthday bash. Apologetic organizers say it was Princess Leia's night off LENI RIEFENSTAHL Creator of Nazi propaganda flick Triumph of the Will plans first release in 45 years.
