Sitting ringside at the Tyson-Holyfield bout in June apparently gave Christian Slater all the wrong ideas. The toothsome actor turned downright mean at an L.A. party, allegedly punching his girlfriend and biting a man who tried to come to her aid.

When Governor Clinton, after hugging everyone in the restaurant, settles into his usual table, Trie is instantly hovering about.

His undepletable pool of celebrity friends included everyone from choreographer Maurice Bejart to Princess Diana (with whom he spoke once a week), from Madonna to Lisa Marie Presley. A number of years ago he happily accepted a lunch invitation from Mike Tyson, a longtime Versace fan.
