While most of the world has seen photos of the women involved in President Clinton's sex scandals, one magazine editor has found that without head-to-foot Islamic dress, these women are taboo in Iran.

The Resalat daily reported Wednesday that editor Reza Ghanilu was banned from running his weekly magazine Fakhur - Thinker - for six months and fined $330 for ``obscenity'' for publishing full-page photos of Flowers, Jones and Lewinsky, unveiled.

Oscar hopeful born to be wild (angel)

Oscar-nominated actor Peter Fonda may want to be remembered for his role in ``Ulee's Gold,'' but many fans remember him for his performance in the rowdy B-movie ``The Wild Angels.''

The Roger Corman motorcycle movie, also starring Nancy Sinatra and Bruce Dern and regarded as a precursor to the 1969 biker movie ``Easy Rider,'' is the centerpiece of Saturday night's irreverent ``Lost Drive-In'' show hosted by Dern on cable's Speedvision.

``Each weekend we get the chance to look back at the films that personified our generation,'' Dern said Wednesday.

``This was truly a special era, especially for those of us who were involved. . . . They bring back memories of a great time in our lives.''

The Speedvision cable TV network, which reaches 14.5 million homes nationwide, provides automotive, motorcycle, boating and aircraft enthusiasts with 24 hours of cars, bikes, boats and planes.

`JAG' extras want apology from Elliott

American Indian extras on the set of the CBS (Cell Broadcast Service) See cell broadcast.  television show ``JAG'' are demanding an apology from actor David James Elliott David James Elliott (born David William Smith on September 21, 1960 in Milton, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian-born actor who was the star of the series JAG from 1995 to 2005, playing lead character Harmon Rabb Jr..  after he reportedly scolded them during a tirade laced with racial epithets, actors on the Valencia set said Wednesday.

Although officials from the Screen Actors Guild and the show's publicists denied Elliott made the remarks, they did acknowledge that an incident took place at the Valencia studio Tuesday.

``It is unfortunate that what began as a misunderstanding between several performers has been exaggerated in the form of rumors far beyond what actually occurred,'' read a statement released by SAG on Wednesday.

``The Guild's role is to look into the matter on behalf of the performers involved and to work with them to reach a mutually satisfactory resolution,'' it continues. ``No performer walked off the set and the day's filming was completed.''

Two American Indian extras said Wednesday that they were insulted by Elliott.

``We are seriously considering filing some kind of suit because he insulted our heritage, and his tirade was directed at the elders on the set,'' said John St. John John Pierce St. John (February 25, 1833 - August 31, 1916) was eighth Governor of Kansas and a candidate for President of the United States.

 because of constant noise distractions on the set and an unexpected visit from his wife.

``He was easily distracted and complained of noise and when one of the Native Americans cleared his throat, he lost it,'' St. John said.

Elliott, St. John and others said, screamed to producers for all to hear, ``The next time you hire Indians, maybe you should give them an IQ test.''

A spokeswoman for Paramount Network Television, the producers of ``JAG judge advocate general (J.A.G.) n. a military officer who advises the government on courts-martial and administers the conduct of courts-martial. The officers who are judge advocates and counsel assigned to the accused come from the office of the judge advocate ,'' denied Elliott said those words.

Producers had hired a number of American Indian extras for Tuesday's taping because the plot revolves around a Navajo character, insiders said.

Sources said Michelle Bennett, a SAG representative, was dispatched to Valencia to help ease tensions.
