Matthew Broderick, 31, now in the romantic comedy The Night We Never Mel, will actually answer questions about his personal life, but don't expect excessive detail. What's it like dating Sarah Jessica Parker (Honeymoon in Vegas), his current steady? "What's it like? I like it a lot. I'm very happy," he says, adding that the two hope to do a movie together. "We've been kind of looking around. We have the same agent, who keeps sending us wacky comedies," says Broderick. They didn't, however, meet through the agent. "Sarah's brother was in a play I directed. She has seven siblings—there's no way to not meet them. So I met her through them."
HOW TO STUFF A WILDLIFE BIKINI
It was eons ago that Raquel Welch reached stardom by wearing a fur bikini in One Million Years B.C. (1966). Nowadays the actress prefers to chat about Boris Yeltsin and reform in Russia. (Trust us on this.) "But for such a long time, people have only been interested in low I look," says Welch, 52, who coincidentally plays a glamorous actress in the TV movie Torch Song (May 23, on ABC), based on a Judith krantz novel. Welch's character cheeks into a rehab clinic and falls in love with a fireman (Jack Scalia). Will Elizabeth Taylor find this familiar? "To think it's Liz's story is a mistake, but what concerns me is that Liz might be upset, and that would be unfortunate," says Welch, adding mischievously, "I did hear she was planning to do a remake of One Million Years B.C."
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Pop fans flock to Chris Isaak's concerts around the world, but back in the U.S. he has lo carry his American Express card. "People think I'm Randy Travis, which I dig," says Isaak, 36, whose latest album is San Francisco Days. "One day I went to Warner Bros., my record company, and parked my car—which usually they never let me do. But that day the guy at the gate said, 'Hi, Mr. Travis!' I had to keep saying I was him after that. I was going, 'Aw, shucks! I think I'll park 'er anywhere.' This opens up a whole new world for me. You know, 'Mr. Travis would like you to come to his hotel room.' Let's hope he's not confused with me, for his sake."
TALK BACK

Now she's calling in a few markers to fill the guest's chair on her new nightly talk show, Equal Time, on cable's CNBC. High on her list: CNN's Larry king. "He asked if I'd get married [to beau James Carville] on his show, so I won't be shy about asking him to be on my show," says Matalin, 39.

"People want me to do some sort of point-counterpoint thing," says Matalin, "but that sounds like female mud wrestling, and I'm not into that."
