Those older men - Ian McKellen, 59, who missed out on an Oscar for his role in ``Gods and Monsters,'' arrived at the British premiere of his movie Thursday night with Monica Lewinsky, 25. ``I was at home and didn't have a date,'' explained McKellen. ``She was coming to London, and I thought we want to give her a good welcome.''

Penn was more like `dead man rockin'

Susan Sarandon told Mirabella magazine that there was so much sexual tension between her and co-star Sean Penn during the making of ``Dead Man Walking'' - she played a nun, he played a killer on Death Row - that director Tim Robbins, Sarandon's significant other, stopped the shooting one day.

``He said, I can't watch this,'' said Sarandon. `` `It's gotten into something else.' There was a big discussion of whether it was too sexual. Sean said, Yes, it is, but that's what it is.''

``Sexual tension is all about connection,'' said Sarandon, ``about two people seeing each other in a way nobody else does. And Sean and I were definitely connected.''

His luck changed; so has his record

Randy Travis has made quite a name for himself in Nashville. Now, he has succeeded in clearing the name he made for himself in Marshville.

At the country singer's request, North Carolina's Gov. Jim Hunt issued a pardon Thursday clearing Travis' criminal record as a youth. Hunt said Travis, 39, has since earned a name for ``responsible civic behavior and community service.''

Not so in the 1970s, when Randy Bruce Traywick stacked up arrests for weapons offenses, burglary and larceny larceny, in law, the unlawful taking and carrying away of the property of another, with intent to deprive the owner of its use or to appropriate it to the use of the perpetrator or of someone else. .

After winning a talent contest in 1977 and pairing with manager Lib Hatcher, now his wife, Travis managed to break into big-time country music.

``Randy quite regularly talks about how he was a bad kid and how lucky he was to find the person'' - Hatcher - ``who could get him straightened out,'' said his spokeswoman Maureen O'Connor.
