I’m not one to gossip, but... celebrity photographer Marc Raboy, whose subjects have included Lucille Ball, Phyllis Diller, Kevin Kline, Rob Lowe and Gregory Harrison among others, has just announced his third annual list of “Fabulous Features of Famous Faces.” In his opinion Phylicia Rashad and Tom Hanks have the best eyes, but the late Marilyn Monroe is still the all-time winner. He said to me: “Though it’s been 30 years since her death, who can forget her incredibly incandescent smile?”

Pop golden oldie Gene Pitney says he owes his soaraway success to vitamin pills and women’s cosmetics. The singing star, celebrating his first British number one, has spent more than $90,000 in the last 20 years on pills to keep him young. And he spends a further $12,000 a year on women’s skincare products to smooth away the wrinkles. Gene turned 47 recently.

Beer-swilling mailman Cliff Claven of the popular TV show “Cheers” is a

disgrace to his uniform, angry post workers are saying in America. They have written to the show’s producer asking to clean up Cliff’s image on the show, as it’s not doing them any good out there in the real work force.

Many leading Hollywood men have had a little cosmetic surgery somewhere along the way to keep their youthful look. On the suspect list are Richard Chamber-

lain, 52, Paul Newman, 63, Larry Hagman, 56, Robert Redford, 50, Robert Wagner, 58, Bob Hope, 84, Robert Stack, 69, Jerry Lewis, 62, George Peppard, 59, Dick Clark 58, and Johnny Carson, 62. But none of these stars will talk about their multi-million looks.

“Knots Landing” star Donna Mills, who plays man-eater Abby Ewing on the show, has revealed for the first time that she always carries a gun when she leaves the house, to protect herself from crazed fans. “I’m being plagued by stalkers,” says Donna. “I never seem to get a moment’s peace. I do not like the gun, I never have, but I know how to use it.” Little Michael Jackson went green with envy when he read that George Hamilton had given his beloved Elizabeth Taylor a $lO,OOO teddy bear with diamond eyes. So Michael one-upped George by sending a $25,000 diamond and amethyst bracelet — to the bear. In a note he asked Teddy to let Elizabeth wear the bracelet.

Looks like Zsa Zsa Ga-

bor and her husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt are not getting along too well these days, but Zsa Zsa says there is no way she will be heading for another husband. Recently Prince Frederic was mugged and robbed by three thugs in broad daylight at a Beverly Hills automatic teller. He staggered to his car, drove himself to the hospital, and ended up with 10 stitches in his right hand, broken fingers on his left hand and a badly sprained ankle.

Dudley Moore is about to lend his name to promote internationally a line of clothes for the shorter man. They’ll be called Dud’s Duds.

Former Hollywood hairdresser Jon Peters has traded his scissors to become one of the biggest movers and shakers in Hollywood, but it’s his long-time relationship with Barbra Streisand that he’s most famous for. He has established himself as a major Hollywood movie producer, and will be bringing us the Batman movie later'this year. He and Barbra don’t speak these days... but my lips are sealed.
