Madonna, who has a shiny, new Golden Globe for Best Actress
to hold when her baby naps, is already being courted for a
new role. Miramax Pictures is reportedly wooing Madonna to
co-star with Goldie Hawn in "Chicago." Entertainment Weekly
reports the film would be a big-screen staging of the veteran
Broadway musical. Madonna earned the Golden Globe for her
performance in "Evita."

The second time around was the charm for "The Naked Truth."

its new network, NBC. The initial airing of the show brought

September 1995.

Larry Hagman is taking a walk down memory lane by revisiting
his old TV roles. Entertainment Weekly reports that Hagman
initially had to pass on the movie update of "I Dream of
Jeannie" because of a scheduling conflict. He'd already
agreed to do the "Dallas" reunion. Now, "Dallas" is gone but
"I Dream of Jeannie" has been rescheduled. Hagman says he'll
do it, if he likes the script and if the money is right.

Hard Trilogy" game for the Sony Playstation Game System.

recently. Columnist Army Archerd says Streisand was there to
watch actor James Brolin, her offstage love interest, do a
guest shot on the show.
