"Until I got kicked off television, I had no idea how big the movies are and how important the movies are compared to the little television," the ex-husband of caustic comedy queen Roseanne told TVs "Extra" during an interview for broadcast Thursday. Arnold starred in the series "The Jackie Thomas Show" and "l om," both of which quickly faded. Since then, his movie credits have included "True Lies" and "Nine Months" and he also stars in the upcoming films "The Stupids," "Big Bully," "Carpool" and "The Honeymooners," in which he plays Ralph Kramden. Now he wants to try raising a family with new wife, Julie Champnella. "I think I'm mature enough for it, maybe," the 37-year-old Arnold said. Just another wannabe MADISON, N.J. ? Gerald Ford says all he really wanted to be was speaker of the House, not president. "I envy Newt Gingrich," the former president said during a speech Tuesday night at Drew University. Ford, 81, was the minority leader of the House when President Nixon picked him to replace Vice President Spiro T. Agnew, who resigned in 1973. Ford became president when Nixon resigned the following year. He said he supports most of the Contract with America championed by Gingrich, with the exception of a balanced budget amendment and term limits. "After all, I got elected 13 times," he said. Good-bye, bow-tie BOCA RATON, Fla. ? Irving R. Levine, the professorial TV journalist with the dry, measured delivery and trademark bow ties, is retiring from NBC after nearly half a century. Levine is stepping down Nov. 1 and becoming dean of international studies at Lynn University, a school with an enrollment of 2,000 students, the university said Wednesday. Levine has been a presence at NBC since 1950 when he began covering the Korean War. He became the network's full-time economics correspondent in 1971 and has done weekly commentaries on CNBC for the last 5 1/2 years.

He says he measures red ink in the billions. He has previously said he was in no danger of going under financially during the real estate market crash of 1991. But he amended that during a luncheon speech Tuesday, the New York Post reported. He recalled once walking down Fifth Avenue with Maria Maples, now his wife, and seeing a panhandler. "That man's worth $900 million more than I am," he said he told her. He later said the crash really dropped him from a net worth of $8 billion or so to a negative worth of perhaps $3 billion. Trump spoke while being honored by the Forum Club for "the comeback of the decade."

Richard, who says he's been celibate since an affair with a guitarist's wife 30 years ago, has had 115 hits since the 1950s, including "Bachelor Boy," "Travellin' Light," and "I Love You." Baby blues? WASHINGTON ? Cutesy baby outfits are nice, but what expectant mothers really need at their baby showers are health and safety tips, first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday. Mrs. Clinton, who is writing a parenting book, told an audience of mothers and expectant mothers that some people question the need for her book, claiming parents already know what to do. "And I said, Well, I didn't.' I didn't get an instruction manual when my daughter was born. Much of it was trial by error and, luckily, I had family and friends and other people who were there for me telling me what I needed to do to keep my baby safe and healthy," she said.

TAMARA LAW Staff Writer For the fifth year in a row, the South Carolina State Museum Foundation will be putting on the Governor's Celebration of South Carolina, a night of blues and jazz featuring local and nationally known performers. The celebration, a fundraiser to support exhibits at the museum, will be held Friday, October 27 from 8 pm.midnight. "We wanted to put on a celebration to reflect South Carolina's culture," said Tut Hutchinson, director of media relations for the S.C. State Museum. "The idea for the foundation was to put on a fundraiser for money for exhibits." Over the years the celebration has featured many different musical styles, from country to the state dance, the shag. This time the foundation decided to feature jazz and blues again. Featured performers for the event include South Carolina natives Drink Small, Juke Joint Johnny, Doctor Dixon and, new to the celebration, Get rea Associated Press RALEIGH ?Scientists at North Carolina State University hope to learn more about prehistory through experiments on three rare dinosaur eggs with fully preserved embryos. "Everything is there to produce a dinosaur," said Dale Russell, a paleontologist with N.C. State and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Science. Preliminary tests on shell and bone fragments of the 75-million-year-old eggs already have revealed atmospheric oxygen from the Cretaceous Period, according to William Showers, a geochemist with the school's Department of Marine, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. The eggs were unearthed several years ago in a Chinese valley southwest of Beijing. They were loaned to the university by a British collector. "The embryos are certainly the most well preserved ever found," Showers said at a news conference Wednesday. Fewer than 10 eggs with fully formed dinosaur embryos have been discovered worldwide, Russell said.

' To complement the jazz and blues, the museum will exhibit the artwork if Florence, S.C., native William H. Johnson. "Well have music in the art gallery as well, where the Bishopville Blues Doctor, Drink Small, will hold court, and the jazz of Skipp Pearson will be reflected in some of the paintings by...William H. Johnson," Cooper said. We're lucky to have an important retrospective of works by this late, internationally acclaimed artist in our art gallery, and we hope people will enjoy the jitterbuggers and other paintings as they listen to the great music that inspired them." All four floors of the museum will be open for tours, and snacks and drinks will be sold. The event has been very popular among South Carolini ans, ana event organizers expect a :rowd this year. Tickets for the event cost $15 in advance and $20 at the door. They are available at all Capital Ticket outlets and at the museum at 310 Gervais Street.

Along with the dinosaur eggs the jroup is studying the physiology of jstriches, alligators, kangaroos, eleihants and bears, said Michael itoskopf of the N.C. State College of Veterinary Medicine. "By studying living animals with lifferent life styles and adaptations or surviving the extremes of their environments, we can make comparsons with what we find in dinosaurs," itoskopf said.
