NEWS LITE : NAMES IN THE NEWS TRUMP VS. TRUMP SPY BILL OVERDUE.

Socialite Ivana Trump doesn't want to pay the private investigator she hired to spy on then-husband Donald Trump and the woman he left her for, Marla Maples.

Maples later married Trump but has since split with the real estate mogul.

Lawyers have failed to arrange a settlement in the lawsuit by investigator James Mintz in a case that could reveal embarrassing details of the bitter 1990 divorce battle, including details of Trump's finances and his relationship with Maples while he was still married to Ivana.

``It's a case that really re-rears ugly heads,'' Ivana Trump's lawyer, Gary Lyman, says in Sunday's New York Post. ``This is something I'd love to settle.''

Mintz is seeking payment of his $250,000 bill, now up to $400,000 with interest. Ivana Trump contends he overcharged her and violated a $100,000 cap on spying services.

If no settlement is reached, the case will go to trial in Manhattan this summer.

Amos says music not for everyone

Tori Amos knows she's not for everybody.

``I'm an acquired taste. I'm anchovies,'' the 34-year-old singer says in the June 25 Rolling Stone magazine. ``And not everybody wants those hairy little things. If I was potato chips, I could go a lot more places, but I'm not.''

As a young woman in Los Angeles trying to make it in music or acting, she did some commercials before forming the doomed band Y Kant Tori Read, whose first album tanked after a review in Billboard called her a bimbo. She didn't leave her apartment for a week.

About the time her debut solo album, ``Little Earthquakes,'' came out in 1992, Amos moved to Britain. ``Under the Pink'' came out in 1994 and ``Boys for Pele'' in 1996. Her latest record is ``From the Choirgirl Hotel.''

Master P becoming Mister Everything

Master P has more job titles than a one-man band.

The rapper, actor, screenwriter, director, record producer and film producer is also founder and chief executive of No Limit, a New Orleans-based outfit that does a lot more than make movies and records. It's also a sports-management firm, a real estate business and a phone-sex service.

All from a city known for Dixieland jazz, zydeco and the blues, not hip-hop music.

``Used to be when you thought about New Orleans, you didn't think about the rap business or the film business,'' Master P says in the June 12 Entertainment Weekly. ``But now you do.''

The 28-year-old artist and entrepreneur, whose real name is Percy Miller, has made three low budget-films, ``I'm Bout It,'' ``I Got the Hook-Up'' and ``MP Da Last Don.'' Another, ``Tears of a Clown,'' is in the works. Miramax subsidiary Dimension Films distributed ``I Got the Hook-Up.''

His company has also released six gold and seven platinum records, including his own recent solo effort, ``Ghetto D,'' which was No Limit's first triple platinum album.

Cameron brings gal pal to Canada

``Titanic'' egomaniac James Cameron went public with his new girlfriend, ``Titanic'' actress Suzy Amis, when he was honored by his hometown of Chippawa, Ontario, with a homecoming ceremony Saturday. In fact, he was flanked by Amis and another important woman in his life, mom Shirley, in a horse-drawn carriage during the festivities. The movie director, separated from wife Linda Hamilton, was busy videotaping himself and the event.

Bridegroom wants big surprise at altar

Only one thing is missing from Dave Weinlick's wedding plans: a bride.

The 28-year-old intends to get married Saturday. He has the rings, the minister, the musicians, his tuxedo and a reception all arranged for a wedding in Minneapolis.

But he won't know who will walk down the aisle to him before she does it.

On the day of the ceremony, potential brides are invited to attend and bring their friends to Weinlick's bridal-candidate mixer, where they can screen him while his friends screen them. Then Weinlick's friends will vote, and he will marry the winner.

About four years ago, Weinlick got tired of being asked when he was going to get married, so he started answering, ``June 13, 1998.'' It became part of his shtick.

At first he thought he might have a party to celebrate the idea of marriage, whether he had a bride or not.

Then his friend and campaign coordinator Steve Fletcher suggested that he run a campaign and have a democratic wedding. As the date approached, the idea grew on him, and the campaign got into full swing about two months ago.

``The fact that this is not the norm is actually on my side,'' Weinlick recently said. ``Somebody who is less likely to go with the flow is someone I'll be compatible with.''

Weinlick, a graduate student in anthropology at the University of Minnesota, said he really wants to get married and not just to keep his word about the wedding date.

``I like the idea of being committed to someone and really making the relationship work,'' he said. ``I think love develops. It's not just there.''

Most of the candidates so far are people he knows, but there are a few he hasn't met face to face. And he hopes new ones will surface.

Many have entered the running through his Web site. Others have contacted Weinlick by phone.

Herman Weinlick, the groom's father, doesn't like the idea and plans to skip the wedding.

``I wish him well, and I admire his independence in many things, including this,'' the elder Weinlick said.

``But I am not particularly happy with this event, which I think makes light of something which, to me, should be taken more seriously.''

Among his attributes, according to his campaign coordinator: He's well-educated, has good credit and a clean record.

When asked if Weinlick is wealthy, Fletcher said he has a ``wealth of knowledge.''

Matt Gundlach, a marriage and family counselor, says Weinlick's plan sounds like a great way to meet people but not a good bet for a successful marriage.

``There's a high probability he's going to get the wrong person,'' Gundlach said. ``I think usually, with our friends, we pick who would be good for us, rather than who would be good for the other person. No matter how good of friends you are, you don't know what's best for them.''

Tessa Schwanekamp, who worked with Weinlick years ago, said the idea is ``completely insane.''

Still, she is single and might show up Saturday.
