PEOPLE COLUMN

Cristophe, President Clinton's coiffeur, wants to clear up some confusion over the so-called Hair Force One scandal.

For one thing, Clinton is "not into hair," the First Stylist said in an interview published Sunday in the Los Angeles Times. And last month's trim on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport didn't cost $200, as widely reported, Cristophe said. The cost, however, wasn't disclosed.

"I am not saying this in a negative way," Cristophe said, "but honestly, do you really think that Hillary or Bill Clinton, from what you can see, is very concerned about their appearance?"

Oprah Winfrey still plans to marry. That's the news out of New York as the talk-show host, suddenly speaking behind a wall of publicists, says her decision to postpone her book has nothing to do with boyfriend Stedman Graham. The New York Post said that Graham, "upset by the revelations of [Oprah's] prior sexual experience" in the book, had threatened: "Publish and our engagement perishes."

"The bottom line is it wasn't the Stedman thing," spokeswoman Colleen Raleigh said Thursday. "He didn't have anything to do with it. She has some other things happening in her life."

Winfrey rocked the publishing world last week by postponing her eagerly anticipated autobiography.
