Working overtime: Remember all that talk about President Clinton working for DreamWorks? Well, Clinton isn't becoming a new DreamWorks partner, but he does have a job for Steven Spielberg. Sources said the commander in chief will narrate a still-untitled 17-minute film that Spielberg has been preparing to commemorate the transition to the new millennium. Sources said the miniflick will unspool during the New Year's Eve Millennium Gala, produced by Quincy Jones and George Stevens Jr., to be held at Washington's Park Mall. Veteran Spielberg collaborator John Williams will compose an original score for the picture, which will look at the past 100 years of U.S. history ... and forward, too.

Spoonful of sugar: Proving nasty rumors wrong is one of Julie Andrews' favorite activities. The actress has settled her lawsuits against three publications that reported in May that she was being treated for prescription drug addiction.

The Globe, England's Daily Mail and OK! have agreed to issue apologies and corrections, her lawyer announced earlier in the week.

``She's very pleased and gratified that the truth has now once and for all been established,'' attorney Orin Snyder said, adding, ``Now we're hoping the corrected stories receive the same attention as the erroneous ones.''

Mighty Daisy Buchanan: Mira Sorvino has signed on to star in ``The Great Gatsby,'' an A&E original TV movie adapted from the classic F. Scott Fitzgerald novel. Sorvino has been cast as Daisy Buchanan, Jay Gatsby's beautiful, wealthy lover, who is trapped in an unhappy marriage to an abusive man. Set during the Jazz Age of the 1920s, ``The Great Gatsby'' tells the story of how Gatsby's love for Daisy leads to tragedy. No other roles have been cast for the TV movie, which will begin shooting in September and will air on A&E in late 2000. Sorvino most recently starred in ``Summer of Sam.'' She won a 1995 Oscar as best supporting actress for her role in ``Mighty Aphrodite.''

Rap master `Shaft': Rapper Busta Rhymes is set to star in Paramount's remake of the 1971 blaxploitation film ``Shaft.'' Starring opposite Samuel L. Jackson, who stars in the film's title role, Rhymes will play Shaft's sidekick Rasaan in the John Singleton-directed film. The character was created for the updated ``Shaft.'' Although Rhymes and Singleton worked together on the 1995 release ``Higher Learning,'' ``Shaft'' marks Rhymes' first significant feature role. Rhymes' solo projects, including ``When Disaster Strikes,'' are among the best-selling rap albums of the past five years.
