INDUCTED: Elvis Presley into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. He won three Grammys for gospel, the first music he loved, and none for rock . . . REINTERPRETED: Santa Claus, who assumes several new dimensions when portrayed by Whoopi Goldberg in "Call Me Claus," also starring Garth Brooks, this Sunday at 8 p.m. EST on TNT . . . HONORED: Sophia Loren, Bernardo Bertolucci, Franco Zeffirelli and Michelangelo Antonioni for their contributions to Italian cinema on the 100th anniversary of the birth of revered director Vittorio De Sica . . . TRAUMATIZED: Coolio, Kelly Preston, Brooke Burns, Donny Osmond, David Hasselhoff and Joanie Laurer (formerly Chyna of the World Wrestling Federation) by sticking their heads in a box full of giant millipedes, super worms and scorpions on the gross-out series "Fear Factor." "I won't ever, ever, do anything like this again," Coolio said to Launch.com . . . DIED: Mary Whitehouse, 91, Britain's heavyweight champion of the anti-smut crusades for almost forty years. "She was very witty, she was a great debater, she was very courageous, and she had a very sincere view, but it was out of touch entirely with the real world," said Lord Grade, former head of BBC1. "I honestly don't think she had any effect."
