mmimiiiiiiiw/i He's in th NEW YORK ? Time for Jim Carrey to give thanks ? and make hat payoff he's promised himself years ago. During a career lull in the late 1980s, the star of "Dumb and Dumber" wrote himself a $10 million check postdated for Thanksgiving 1995. Now he's rich and richer: Entertainment Weekly reports he will get $20 million for his latest feature, "Cable Guy," in which he plays a cable technician who terrorizes Matthew Broderick. The check Carrey wrote will never get cashed. Last year, when his father died, Carrey placed it in his coffin. "I swear the day I heard I was getting $10 million for "The Mask 2' was three or four days before he died. I called him and told him that the dream had come through. He was ecstatic," Carrey said. Low Mow LOS ANGELES ? Michael Jackson needs cash and is trying to sell his Beatles catalog and other songs to Sony Music for at least $100 million, Newsweek says. The reported deal would create a music publishing titan with Jackson as half-owner. The magazine said its sources in the industry and at Sony say Jackson "has been squeezed for cash in recent months" and is borrowing heavily, using the Beatles collection as collateral. Jackson owns the rights to many Beatles songs. Sony wouldn't comment to Newsweek, confirming only that it is negotiating with Jackson, whose personal fortune is as much as $200 million. A Sony spokeswoman did not return calls Monday. Jackson was in Europe. His spokesman, Lee Solters, said he knew nothing about Newsweek's report. Newsweek said that in addition to fighting lawsuits and living in style, Jackson spent $9 million of his own money to promote his Sony album "History," which has sold nearly 10 million copies ? a disappointing number by Jackson standards.

Movie Magic LOS ANGELES ? Magic Johnson's movie house is casting its spell on audiences. Four months after it opened in Los Angeles' riot-torn Crenshaw section, the 12-screen Magic Theatres has become one of the most successful complexes in the country. Of 2,100 screens surveyed nationwide, Magic Theatres was second in revenue Oct. 10 and Oct. 17, according to Entertainment Data Inc. Ticket sales were helped on both dates by the premieres of "Dead Presidents" and "Devil in a Blue Dress," both of which had strong appeal in the mostly black community. Its success has also given a boost to an adjacent mall, where stores report sales have gone up 5 percent to 50 percent since the complex opened. "The theater has become the focal point of the community," said mall manager Derrell Spann. The bigger the better NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y.?John Wayne Bobbitt is out of a child support jam, and a new medical problem may keep him out of similar trouble for a while. Bobbitt avoided jail time by making a $5,000 payment on $33,000 owed to Beatrice Williams, by whom he fathered a child in 1992 while separated from his wife, Lorena. Under a deal reached last week, Williams will get the rest of the money from the profits of an upcoming Xrated movie starring Bobbitt. The first payment was due by Wednesday, or else Bobbitt would have had to go to jail. His lawyer, Michael Ianoco, said the payment was made early because Bobbitt needed to go to Los Angeles for medical treatment to fix stitches that came loose after penile enlargement surgery last month. ?????????| Exercise Program : Risk Factor Screening ress Test Itation Hogram teasurement is 0including total V m Test and Blood Pressure 1_ nT* >r)i a?K ior prut, 11111 or iwaiu | yza-i$gi e Points 252-8646 SPECIALS Mon* $1.25 Bud & Bud light Teus* $2.75 pitchers Wed* $6.50 Domestic Buckets $9.50 Imports Buckets , Thurs* $2.00 22oz Bottles V Happy Hour 4-7 Daily pal SS GROG lur new location B 715 Harden St. mm 256-7733 ?????? The Gamecock H9IUj Ba Associated Press PALO ALTO, Calif. ?Barbie has been a glamour girl, stewardess, businesswoman, astronaut and even royalty. Soon, she may be homeless. The Barbie Doll Hall of Fame, which boasts more than 20,000 exhibits, is being evicted so the new owner of its building can open a restaurant. "It's a sob story you hear a lot today, but if we're forced out of here, we have no place to go but the street," said Evelyn Burkhalter, who owns the museum. Burkhalter is fighting an eviction lawsuit filed by her new landlord, restaurateur Rowena Wu, who didn't return a telephone call for comment. Wu claims the museum breached USC just v Staff Reports Do you ever wonder about the hordes of USC students who have graced the classrooms and dorms before you? Something may have come along to satisfy your Pi curiosity. A permanent exhibit chronicling the history of student life at the University of South Carolina is on display at the McKissick Museum. The exhibit, which opened Oct. 5, reaches back to the beginnings of USC and the college's rigid code of student conduct, student duels and its single degree: the bachelor of arts. Exhibit visitors can see the historic Horseshoe when its massive oak trees were mere saplings.

Burkhalter said a waiver releasing the owner of liability was part of the lease with the previous landlord, and Wu assumed that lease. Burkhalter, a longtime doll collector, started the museum 11 years ago in Palo Alto, about 30 miles south of San Francisco. She said there's no mystery about the doll's appeal as a syrtibol of idealized American womanhood. "Barbie is you. Barbie is a mannequin. When you buy her and whatever you do with her, she becomes you," Burkhalter said. "She's not ever a role model ? she changes with what people are doing."

Barbie also beat American women into space; she's been an astronaut three times since 1965, Burkhalter said. The Barbie Doll Hall of Fame has moved three times over the years, each time to larger quarters to accommodate Burkhalter's collection, believed to be the world's largest.
