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.

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.

GENEVA ? The ex-wife of the Aga
Khan can go ahead and sell the family

A court ruled Monday that the

one of the world's richest men and
leader of the Ismaili Muslims.
The princess, who as Sarah Cro
ker-Poole was a model during the lybOs,
was divorced from the Aga Khan in
March.
The 250 gems include a deep blue,
heart-shaped diamond of 13.78 carats
called the Begum Blue. Many were designed
for the princess by jewelers such
as Van Cleef and Arpels, Cartier and
Bulgari.
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.

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.

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.

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.

its lease by not providing adequate
insurance for the $2.5 million collection.
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."

Burkhalter said.
Burkhalter, who received evic- tion

what shell do if she loses the fight.
Although she chaiges $4 admission,
the museum isn't a money maker
and she doesn't think she can afford
to move now because property
prices in Palo Alto have skyrocketed.
But her lawyer, Mark Mitchell,
is optimistic.
"This is really something that
