A offering commentary on Lewis Lynn, the co-creators feminine, sensible alternative rock videos, the "Daria" MTV FROM 1-E side Glenn Eichler and Susie Lewis our Lynn, the co-creators of decided to pluck Daria from about anonymous cartoon girlhood and that spin off a series based on the foi- ences bles and fragility of an eccentric good teenage girl in middle America after viewers who saw her on "Beavis and Butt-head" called in with praise. her "Basically, she was the smart who, person who hung out with Beavis the and Butt-head to annoy her par- the ents," Eichler said. "She was very old perfunctorily drawn.
But now she's multileveled and multilayered." Both her creators and admirers cite Daria's frank teenage voice as the central reason for her pop- has ularity. Van Toffler, the general of MTV, a unit of Viacom, sees Daria as the closest thing to: a poster child the network has. I THE INSIDER Judge throws out suit against National Let's say a tabloid describes you as having a nervous breakdown, delusions and paranoia, an irrational fear of cows and as a shopaholic who blew $30,000 on clothes in a sin- he gle day. Would you have a legal case? Christie Brinkley sued the National Enquirer for $42 Brinkley million, saying that stories such as "Christie But a New Cracks York Up" judge 1 were false. has thrown out the model's suit.
Even though the stories were "truly obnoxious," Justice Emily Jane Goodman said, they did not subject Brinkley to "hatred, contempt or aversion." Brinkley, 44, called the ruling "incomprehensible." But Enquirer Editor Steve Coz said that "if a celebrity thinks a story is ob1 noxious, that means we're doing our job. We're not part of the 1 Hollywood publicity machine." Setting the Bates If there's one thing filmgoers don't need aside from another movie starring Pauly Shore it's a remake of Alfred Hitchco*ck's 1960 classic, "Psycho." But they're getting one anyway. Cameras start rolling this summer on Gus Van Sant's take on the nasty doings at the Bates Motel. Vince Vaughn, best known for his role in "Swingers," has been offered the role of mother-fixated Norman Bates, originally played to perfection by Anthony Perkins. Nicole Kidman is considering the role of Marion Crane, made famous by Janet Leigh, while Julianne Moore, fresh from her Oscar-nominated role in "Boogie Nights," may play the character who investigates her sister's disappearance (Vera Miles, for you trivia buffs).
Moore's "Boogie Nights" co-star William H. Macy has been offered the Martin Balsam role as the investigator, who uncovers Norman's misdeeds. Usher in the soaps Grammy-nominated phenom Usher Raymond will join the cast of CBS daytime drama "The 1 Everts' 10-minute dance expanded into full evening of performance MILLENNIUM FROM 1-E Supporting roles are taken by actor Gustavo Urdaneta as a civic official and dancer Mary Kukich as the leader of eight women who express sorrow, anger, fear, blame and self-pity. Most of the dancers are current or former Evert students. "The nature of the work calls for more women than men," Susana said.
"It develops lyrically. It shows conventional religion as an obstacle to growth. "The friar becomes purified by being in a relationship with real spirituality. Tom peels off different things. He becomes truly naked." Spiritually, that is.
"I would use nudity," Susana said. "But there's censorship in this theater." The Everts learned of the college's no-nudity policy when they submitted Tom's scenic designs to the theater department. His sketches showed arched doorways, staircases and nude figures. "I don't want to offend anybody," said Susana, whose role includes a modified striptease performed in silhouette. "I'm grateful that there is no other kind of censorship." FOR YOUR INFORMATION The Tom Susana Evert Dance Theatre will premiere "Millennium" at 8 p.m.
Friday and Saturday at the Cuyahoga Community College Western Campus Theatre, 11000 Pleasant Valley Parma. Tickets, $7 and $10. Call (216) 987-5536.

"She has an attitude parents, school, siblings is common to the experiof our audience. She is a spokesperson for MTV, intelligent but subversive." But how has the team behind a group of sitcom writers, playwrights and MTV honchos to put it politely, are all on dark side of 30 tapped into mind of a disaffected 16-yeargirl and built a loyal audience around her? Neena Beeber, a Manhattan playwright who has written three episodes, thinks one reason is that the distance between grown-ups and teenagers narrowed. "We can all relate to Daria," Beeber said. "It's the smallest it stretch I've ever had to make." Eichler and the writers of "Da- Brinkley's Enquirer Bold and the Beautiful." Cast as a character named Raymond, the 19-year-old singer who records as Usher will tape eight episodes for "Bold," which will begin shooting May 19.
The shows will air next month, beginning June 9. While Usher will not be playing himself, will perform two Usher tunes, "My Way" and "Slow Jam." In addition, Usher has joined the cast of an as-yet-untitled sci-fi horror thriller written by Kevin Williamson and directed by Robert Rodriguez It will mark the screen debut for the singer, whose triple-platinum album, "My Way," has produced two No. hits, "You Make Me Wanna. and "Nice Slow." Usher, who will open for Janet Jackson on her concert tour this summer, has appeared on TV's "The Parent 'Hood" and had a recurring role as Brandy's love interest on UPN sitcom "Moesha." Please pass the ketchup Meat Loaf spent much of last week negotiating to join Brad Pitt and Ed Norton in "The Fight. Club," which rolls in June.
If things jell, it will mark movie No. 8 in just a year and a half for the hotagain performer with the main-course name. Right now, Meat's busy Meat Loaf playing a smalltown sheriff in 1965 Alabama in "Crazy in Alabama" with Antonio Banderas directing and Melanie Griffith starring. He has "Black Dog" in theaters and "'The Mighty" with Sharon Stone and Gillian Anderson on the way. He has wrapped the off-the-wall independent film, "Outside Ozona." To name a few.

Janet Bolik achieve a naked look with flesh body suits. The Everts start out in medieval robes. The civic official is dressed in khaki pants, boots and a tank top.
The women wear flattering cotton dresses in sepia tones. Tom's sets consist of movable structures that are integrated into the choreography. In one sequence, the dancers climb over the architecture like ants at a picnic. In another, a young woman turns into a frightening gargoyle. The original version of "The Truth Naked" is recycled as the friar's dream.
The production is lighted by Randall Enlow and accompanied collage of recorded medieval; contemporary, World and New Age music. Although Susana has prepared a reading list that will be printed in the program book, she says the choreographic concept is not intellectual. "It's from the heart," she said. "I hope people the will let go of the mind and let the instinct develop." "A THRILLER WITH BRAINS. 'Deep Impact' is solid and intelligent with tension, authenticity and heart-squeezing emotion.
