Jefferson Airplane
front woman and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer
Grace Slick
is also a painter - fact, some call her a "painter-extraordinaire." (That'd be the PR folk who wrote the news release.)
The 66-year-old psychedelic goddess, who studied art as a youth at the University of Miami, decided in '89 to pick up the brushes once again and let loose on stretched canvas. You can see her work - and her - at a two-day show at Wentworth Gallery at the Court in the King of Prussia Mall Saturday from 6 to 9 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 3 p.m. Info: 610-337-8988 or www.wentworthgallery.com.
From 'L&O' to the Oval?
Former U.S. Sen.
Fred Thompson
, who plays the delightfully gruff district attorney Arthur Branch on NBC's
Law & Order
, is exiting the show - possibly to run as a Republican candidate for president.
Thompson, who represented Tennessee, has yet to make an official announcement but has been making exploratory appearances and blogging on issues.
NBC entertainment prez Kevin Reilly said Thompson will leave even if he decides against running.
Celebrity humility
Bruce Willis
finally asks what's been on every citizen's mind for years: "Why do actors think their opinions mean more because [they] act?" Bruce says he's sick of celebs who act like self-appointed experts on everything around the globe.
Bruce proved his point handily with, "Have you heard anything useful come out of an actor's mouth lately?" Well, have you?
Willis-onian linguistics
In another matter, Bruce is apparently angry the suits cut his more colorful dialogue from
Live Free or Die Hard
, so they could finagle a PG-13 from the MPAA.
John McClane
can no longer say his most excellent
Die Hard
catchphrase, "Yippe-ki-yay, [filthy word]."
The Rolling cheapskate?
Talented, sexy, lippy and filthy rich
Mick Jagger

Jerry Hall
, according to London's Daily Mail. "He always wanted me to pay for everything to do with the house and children," said Hall, who has four kids with the rocker. Hall, 50, revealed Mick was
it
: "Hopefully that big love will happen again with someone else, but I'm quite resigned that if it doesn't, I will still find ways to be happy."
Baby roundup
Sheryl Crow
spent Mother's Day with her own child,
Wyatt Steven
, a 2-week-old boy the singer adopted last week. Meanwhile,
Donald Trump
is a grandpa. On Saturday, The Donald's son,
Donald Trump Jr.
, and wife
Vanessa
welcomed their first babe, the 6-pound, 14-ounce girl,
Kai Madison
. (Wonder how many times gramps'll do the "you're fired!" thing at Kai till she can finally leave home for college . . . in
18 years
?)
Mary J. sizes up her man

Mary J. Blige
about her courtship with her love, hubby

Survival of the nicest
Ad executive
Earl Cole
, 35, proved that nice guys can finish first, even in a snake pit, when he was voted the winner of
Survivor: Fiji
on Sunday night. Cole, from Santa Monica, Calif., took the $1 million prize by making the deals he had to make while still preserving his popularity. He was the unanimous choice of the nine-member jury.
