For their wedding last weekend, Douglas and bride CATHERINE ZETA-JONES asked friends to make donations to a fund they're setting up for their son Dylan.

The latter gets a workout when it speaks suddenly to Sammy's trimly repressed side...
DIED. EDOARDO AGNELLI, 46, only son of Gianni Agnelli, head of the Fiat automotive empire; in an apparent leap from a viaduct known as the "bridge of suicides"; in Turin, Italy. This is only the latest tragedy for the Agnellis; three years ago, Edoardo's younger cousin Giovanni, Fiat heir apparent, died of stomach cancer...
