POSTED: April 14, 1999

Whitney Houston says she's the aggressor in her marriage to Bobby

Brown.

"Contrary to belief, I do the hitting; he doesn't. He has never put his

hands on me. He is not a woman-beater," the singer and actress says

in the May issue of Redbook. "We are crazy for one another. I mean

crazy in love, love, love, love, love. When we're fighting, it's like that's

love for us. We're fighting for our love." Brown's arrest history includes

drunken driving and battery against women other than his wife.

Brown was sentenced in 1998 to five days in jail and a year on

probation for drunken driving. On Monday, a judge in Fort Lauderdale,

Fla., put him back on probation for showing up drunk to do his time.

Houston concedes that her singer husband is "a party guy" who "likes

to hang with his friends. He likes to dance with different people." But

she says she knows he's loyal to her because "I checked him out

when he wasn't even looking."

 Accusation denied The widower of Tammy W ynette has denied

allegations that he helped cause the country star's death.

George Richey and Wynette's physician, Wallis Marsh of Pittsburgh,

are being sued by three of her daughters for $50 million. The daughters

claim Richey and Marsh didn't monitor her medical condition closely

enough and gave her too many painkillers.

Wynette died last April at her home. She was 55. Marsh ruled she died

of a blood clot to the lungs. There was no autopsy.

"All of these allegations are totally false, without foundation, and that

will be proven in a court of law," Richey said in a statement.

It was the first comment from Richey's side since the lawsuit was filed

 April 5. Marsh has also denied wrongdoing.

The dress Sophie Rhys-Jones has chosen a little-known designer to

make the dress for her wedding to Prince Edward.

The design by Samantha Shaw, who set up her own salon only four 

years ago, will remain secret until the June 19 ceremony at St.

George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, Shaw's publicist said yesterday.

Shaw, 30, never advertises, and sells her work mainly at private fashion

shows.

"It's a great choice," said Camilla Secil, social editor of Harpers and

Queen magazine. "Sam makes very feminine clothes, very pretty and

often layered. She uses very rich fabrics, hand-painting and beads.

Those little touches are always absolutely perfect." Both PrincessDiana and the Duchess of York, the former Sarah Ferguson, chose

unsung designers to make their wedding dresses.

Gift to MIT The Massachusetts Institute of Technology will soon be $20

million richer, courtesy of Microsoft mogul Bill Gates.

The money will fund a new computer lab building to be named after 

Gates at the school's Laboratory for Computer Science, MIT president

Charles Vest said yesterday.

"We're going to look back at how we're doing things today and we're

going to view it as very primitive in 10 years," Gates, who dropped out

of nearby Harvard, told about 500 people at MIT.

Gates has given $6.5 billion to his two charitable foundations since

1994. The foundations then give money to schools and other causes.

Song dedicated to refugees Pop star Michael Jackson's latest song is

reportedly dedicated to the plight of the Kosovo Albanian refugees. All

proceeds from the single "What More Can I Give?" will go toward

helping the hundreds of thousands of ethnic Albanians who have fled or 

been driven out of their homes in Kosovo, Jackson told the London

Mirror.

Xena: Warrior Mommy Xena's going to be a mother - again.

Lucy Lawless, star of the hit show Xena: Warrior Princess, is pregnant,

she and husband Rob Tapert announced yesterday. The baby is due in

October. Production is not expected to be affected by the pregnancy.

Lawless, 31, and Tapert, executive producer of the syndicated action show, married a little more than a year ago. She has a 10-

year-old daughter from a previous marriage.

Salman rocks Salman Rushdie, rock 'n' roll guy? The writer told students at Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y., in a rare

public appearance why his new novel, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, uses the rock world as a backdrop.

"I'm the same age as rock 'n' roll. When I was 8 or 9 or 10, rock was in its infancy," Rushdie said Monday. "I remember Elvis and

Jerry Lee Lewis and the Drifters. When I was protesting the war in Vietnam, so was rock 'n' roll." Iran's now-deceased leader 

 Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini condemned Rushdie to death in 1989, saying his novel The Satanic Verses blasphemed Islam. Iran

announced last year that it was disassociating itself from the fatwa, or death sentence, but some hard-liners still threaten to kill

him.

Locally connected Poet Sonia Sanchez presents an evening of poetry in honor of Sister Eleanor Rice, professor emeritus of

today at Jacobs Music in Center City for the unveiling of the Steinway & Sons "Rhapsody Piano." The $175,000 piano celebrates

George Gershwin's 100th birthday (a lit tle belatedly, given that he was born Sept. 26, 1898) and also his first class ical symphonic

work, "Rhapsody in Blue," and its premiere in New York in 1924. The piano shimmers with hundreds of mother-of-pearl stars inlaid

on its midnight-blue cabinet. Peter Nero, conductor of the Philly Pops, will be on hand at today's private reception. Those not

invited can see and play the piano - with someone presumably to watch over you embraceable you - tomorrow and Friday at

Jacobs Music at 1718 Chestnut St., by appointment. Call 215-568-7800. The piano can also be seen - but not played - at four 

upcoming Philly Pops concerts at the Academy of Music on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday and April 25.

copies and answer questions after the performance.

Liz's loss is charity's gain The National Enquirer said it would donate some of the $500,000 it won in a legal battle with Elizabeth

Taylor to AIDS charities, which are among her favorite causes. "We have nothing but respect for Elizabeth Taylor and her tireless

work for charities," National Enquirer editor Steve Coz said. "We are happy to donate some of this money to her favorite cause."

Taylor and then-husband Larry Fortensky filed a libel and slander suit against the tabloid in 1993 over a story that said he had

threatened a neighbor in a real estate dispute. A judge dismissed the case and ordered Taylor to pay the tabloid more than

$500,000 in legal costs.
