NEWS LITE : CLINTON'S WORKOUT HAS CHIEF CHISELED.

``The guy is buffed.'' So said a White House aide recently about - President Clinton? OK, he's not exactly JFK Jr., but, notes presidential press secretary Michael McCurry: ``His workout program is getting to the point where he might actually be able to do some of the things Harrison Ford does in (``Air Force One''). It might be pretty useful in negotiations with Congress to be able to break somebody in half.''

It was feared in March when he messed up his knee that Clinton would pork up during his recovery. Instead, by swimming, pumping iron and stocking Air Force One with fruit, he's dropped 14 pounds to put him within a few pounds of his top ideal weight of 194 pounds. He rolled into the presidency at a flabby 226.

Since his accident, the president has dropped to two daily meals and taken on daily workouts with Navy trainers. Last weekend, he resumed jogging again. ``He may like a hot dog,'' said Steve Tobash, golf pro at the Army-Navy Country Club where Clinton's played thrice since rehab. ``But if he eats a hot dog he works it off.''

Moore film contains no real naval shots

The Navy didn't go overboard helping Demi Moore with ``G.I. Jane.'' Filmmakers were not allowed to use Navy bases, personnel or equipment as backdrops for the story of a woman trying to become the first female SEAL.

``We felt that the script we reviewed didn't reflect today's military,'' Rear Adm. Kendell Pease, the Navy's chief of information, said in Wednesday's Washington Times.

``Our objective, when we give cooperation with a film, is realism,'' Pease said.

Even the film's title defies realism, since G.I. is used for soldiers, not Navy ``swabbies.''

Alleged wife denies marriage to Sharif

A daughter of a Saudi tycoon who was reported to have married film star Omar Sharif says the marriage never happened.

Last month Egyptian newspapers and sources close to Sharif said the Egyptian-born star of the 1965 film ``Doctor Zhivago'' had married Nadiya Aja at a Red Sea resort in April. The Associated Press carried the report July 30.

Aja, the daughter of the late Saudi multimillionaire Akram Aja and his French wife, said: ``Every woman would like to be married to Omar Sharif . . . but it didn't happen.''

Sharif, 65, is reported to be in France but could not be located for comment. His 10-year marriage to Egyptian superstar Faten Hamama broke up in 1965.

Aja, 50, is divorced from Mohammed Nooh, a famous Egyptian singer.

Supplanter must pay

jilted wife

An alleged ``other woman'' was ordered by a jury to pay $1 million in damages for breaking up a marriage.

``We hope this will send a message to the community and help preserve families,'' said James Walker, Dorothy Hutelmyer's lawyer in her alienation-of-affection lawsuit against Margie B. Cox, now Margie Hutelmyer.

A jury in the civil case in Graham, N.C., reached the verdict Tuesday.

Dorothy Hutelmyer, 40, contended that Margie Cox had an affair with Joseph Hutelmyer, 43, and destroyed the love and affection between the Hutelmyers.

Hutelmyer is president of a maritime insurance company. Margie Cox worked as his secretary.

North Carolina is one of a dozen states that allow alienation-of-affection lawsuits. Such actions date back to the 1700s, when women were considered property, like a man's horse or his slave.

As of 1994, it was estimated that at least 200 such actions are filed annually in North Carolina by men and women.

Defense attorney Wayne Abernathy asked a judge to reduce the verdict as excessive.

``I think most lawyers think the law is extremely outdated,'' he said.

Fashion creator plans 3-day, 2-gown wedding

Betsey Johnson, the fashion designer, has never been known for being conventional, so it should come as no surprise that her wedding celebration will be adventurous.

Sunday, she will marry Brian Reynolds, a computer systems designer, in Yorkshire, near Reynolds' birthplace of Bradford in northern England. ``It will be in a tiny old chapel 1,000 feet above sea level, amid hills and dales and moors close to the Bronte home,'' said Johnson, who is in England.

Though Reynolds originally did not want even a reception, there will be a three-day marathon of activities for 150 guests, including trips to a brewery, rides on a steam engine and a rock-and-roll barn dance.

Johnson will wear two wedding dresses. To walk down the aisle, escorted by her 22-year-old daughter, Lulu, she will wear an organza dress, with tiers and a train, that she found at a shop in California.

Then she will change into her own design, an embroidered slip dress. ``That's so I can be two kinds of bride - one in big bouffant skirt, one in minimalist slip.''

Reynolds, 51, and Johnson, who will also be celebrating her 55th birthday and the 19th anniversary of her company, have been previously married before.
