WARM UP THE CRYSTAL BALL

Ah, the eve of a new year - and scads of '94 predictions from the tabloid racks.

Weekly World News asked ``Tinseltown's top psychic,'' Bill Blake, for his perspective on the new year. Among his predictions:

Madonna will wed Boy George.

Former Vice President Dan Quayle turns a cameo appearance on ``Murphy Brown'' into a television career playing drug lords, corrupt politicians and other bad guys.

It will be revealed that Wynonna Judd is Naomi's mama!

President Clinton resigns after administration insiders reveal that he often struts around the White House in Hillary's party dresses.

Willie Nelson's nude photo spread in Playgirl stirs a national sensation.

And from Globe's last issue of '93, Mystic Meg offers this twist on things to come:

A bedside book presented to President Clinton at the White House hides a tiny microphone that records his conversations with Hillary. But, instead of becoming laughingstocks, the first couple is strengthened. Soon, Bill and Hillary dolls rival Ken and Barbie.

David Letterman gets punched out on the air, and his ratings skyrocket.

Richard Gere shaves his head, dons orange robes, and takes a vow of chastity while studying his Buddhist faith.

Madonna meets a Middle Eastern sheik, marries him, dons long robes and a veil and has twins.

We only wish there were pictures, too.
