Thirty years after John F. Kennedy's assassination, Larry King puts the where-were-you-when-you-heard question about that watershed moment to a bunch of famous folks for a TNT special this month. Barbra Streisand, for example, distinctly remembers hearing the news on the radio while shopping for "my first piece of important jewelry, a beautiful, beautiful antique choker . . . I never wear it." TNT will air the special, "November 22, 1963: Where Were You?" on Nov. 21.

Roger Clinton's recording career has taken a slight detour. Forget about that $200,000 contract with Atlantic Records. The president's little brother and his band, Politics, are now in the hands of Great Pyramids Records, based in Chattanooga, Tenn. "We feel a brand-new artist is better with a smaller label, regardless of who's their brother," an Atlantic spokesman says. Meanwhile, Roger is officially in hot water with his manager, Butch Stone, who tells People magazine, "He can't keep getting into fights because he's the president's brother."

The Hollywood-and-politics connection can make for broken hearts. Add actress Jennifer Grey and presidential adviser George Stephanopoulos to the breakup list, People magazine says. The "Dirty Dancing" star fell for the White House heartthrob during the campaign. Things heated up in March after a mutual friend fixed them up and simmered over the summer, but that's all over now.

Doris Duke, once the "richest girl in the world," left behind a $1.2 billion estate, about $1 billion of which her will says will go to a new charitable foundation named for her.

New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art and Duke University are to receive $10 million each, according to the will, which was filed in court Monday in Trenton, N.J.

Duke was 12 when her father died in 1925 and left the bulk of his estate to his only child, which prompted the media to dub her the richest girl in the world.

The tobacco heiress died Thursday at age 80.
