POPE JOHN PAUL II was teetering on the edge of obscurity. His last album, the well-reviewed, new-agey Abba Pater (which did not contain a Dancing Queen cover), came out more than a year ago. And as every big pop act knows, waiting too long between releases is a bad career move. Luckily, John Paul's follow-up record is on the way.

Now Harper's Bazaar editor in chief LIZ TILBERIS claims that Diana gave off New Agey emanations. In her autobiography No Time to Die, excerpted in Britain's Daily Mail, Tilberis describes Diana's healing powers, which both women referred to as a "white light." Diana used the term metaphorically, but Tilberis maintains that a call from the princess boosted her platelet count while she was undergoing chemotherapy to cure her ovarian cancer.
