He notes that he and the mother of his 3-week-old son have been together for three years. ``My late wife Cassie and I were together for three years before we married - and no one gave a hoot.'' The change in interest in him as his status has soared the last few years ``never ceases to amaze me,'' he says.

Brosnan wants us to know, ``My life is very good as it is, and my work is strong.''

He's made four films back to back, including the debut project of his production company, ``The Nephew,'' and ``Dante's Peak,'' Universal's $100 million-plus volcano epic that opens Friday. Oprah Winfrey “Oprah” redirects here. For the show, see The Oprah Winfrey Show.

 has described the latter as this winter's ``Twister,'' but Brosnan declares it's much - much - more than that. `` `Twister' was a disaster movie without much of a story. `Dante's Peak' has a man and a woman (Linda Hamilton) you want to see together, has children you care for.''

In April he'll take on the challenge of continuing his ``007'' winning streak Noun 1. winning streak - a streak of wins

And after that, will he be getting married?

``I have no plans for wedding bells Wedding Bells can refer to:
  • The Wedding Bells is a comedy-drama series on the FOX TV network.
  • Wedding Bells is the name of an episode of Are You Being Served?.
,'' he says with a tolerant sigh. ``I won't be getting married for a long time.''

We'll see.

Meanwhile ...

Brosnan says he loves the sound and feel of having a baby in the house again. Sean, his youngest child by late wife Cassie is 13. Pierce notes that the new little one ``sleeps between Keely and me. I think we all benefit from it. Certain books say you'll have the devil to pay when you want to move the baby into a crib, but Cassie and I handled Sean the same way, and you slowly wean wean (wen) to discontinue breast feeding and substitute other feeding habits.

Word out of the gambling town has it that blocks of hotel rooms for the band's people have been booked for one to two weeks in advance of that possible opening date. U2 will be requiring setup and rehearsal time, after all. On the other hand, as one source points out, they could still change their minds and throw everyone off track. Fans will know for certain next week, when the official tour announcement is anticipated. Meanwhile, they can play with the vinyl release of the band's ``Discotheque'' single - 12 different mixes - which has just been released.

Boldly going

But ... a resistance movement of humans believes they're up to no good.

Were you disappointed a few years back when Oliver Stone's planned ``Noriega'' biopic of ex-Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega stalled? Well, now you can look forward to seeing the Noriega saga on the small screen. Showtime has a Noriega movie moving through development, which will be produced by Arnon Milchan's New Regency Entertainment - the same firm once partnered with Stone on the big-screen Noriega project. Director Roger Spottiswoode tells us the cable flick will be ``a small, wonderful, nasty movie.''

Zollo's made a deal with HBO's West Coast producing arm for a cable movie about the notorious Jewish crime figure. ``Oddly enough, nothing's really been done on him,'' Zollo notes. Lansky, who made a fortune in Harlem, a territory ignored by his Italian peers of the Prohibition era, was deported several times. ``He died a man without a country,'' Zollo says. Of old age. In bed. With his own wife.
