...accessorize. The show offers runway reports of next season's couture (for the women) with more cleavage than anywhere this side of pay cable (for men), plus grooming tips and a visit to some fashion pooh-bah's aerie. Hovering above the glitz, as stately and nurturing as the Queen Mum, is the Australian-born Klensch. For Elsa, shoddy clothes and naughty tattle simply n'existent pas. "Karl Lagerfeld could kill his mother," she told HG, "and I'd just ask him about the design of his clothes." Who else could merge Diana Vreeland and Diane Sawyer? No one Elsa...
That mouth, impish or hellacious, is where Whoopi Goldberg goes one up on the world. Twist it, she's a funny little troll. Smile like the Queen of Sheba, she is the Queen of Sheba, a knee-weakening beauty (don't doubt it; like Meryl Streep, who's also less than a stunner, Whoopi can play beauty). Shove out her jaw, she's a bad-mouth male junkie -- yeah, name's Fontaine, attitude's his game, what's your problem? Flash that 82-toothed thousand- watter, time to watch your wallet. Smile shyly, she's a little kid, you want...
What will happen when the Queen is gone? A genuine reconciliation between Charles and Diana leading to a long and visible happy-ever-after seems unlikely. The question then is whether society now deems a fairy-tale marriage essential to the monarchy's survival.

Pressure is also building on Queen Elizabeth II to reciprocate for the government...
...more peace talks. Every time an international conference declares a cease-fire or debates a plan to save the battered city, fighting seems to get worse. So it was last week at the start of a 30-country London conference on the crisis. As the participants arrived at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Center, Serbian irregulars subjected the half-ruined Bosnian capital to one of its worst poundings since the siege began more than five months ago. Shells and rockets slammed into the city from hillside emplacements, killing more than a dozen townsfolk and damaging elegant buildings...
...still living there, with all the warped ingenuousness of a rural kid who tells his friends, "Let's put the freak show on right here! Again!" TWIN PEAKS FIRE WALK WITH ME, Lynch's way-too-late prequel to the 1990 TV series, relates the last days of teen queen Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee). After an agonizing first half-hour designed to empty the theater, Lynch unleashes his patented perfervid style, puts the familiar dwarfs and feebs on display and elicits a nicely horrifying turn from Lee. But the magic has died: nothing seems older than a two-year...
