ti-2 Friday. August 2. 1996 Stor-JUullctin PEOPLE Cruise sues mag over sterile' statement DEAR AB BY By Abigail Van Buren Don'tdfbrget the older child PIGGING OUT: Muppet Miss Piggy makes her TV ad debut Sunday dur-ing NBC's Olympic broadcast, sharing the screen, but not the chips, with fashion model Vendela, Paramount Motion Picture Group chairman Sherry Lansing. Police cleared Hollywood Boulevard theaters, restaurants and shops, as well as street traffic, when a suspicious package was spotted under viewing stands erected for Lansing's ceremony. The suspected device proved harmless and the street was reopened.

1 Don't blow it Who ever thought blowing your nose could be fatal? It could have been for Nicolas Villarruel, 29, of Denver, after a machine blew up Monday at the plant where he worked and lodged a dangerous explosive charge in his nose, The machine loads a charge equal to five big M-80 firecrackers into a small device that activates car air bags. But the device became stuck in the man's nose when the machine exploded. He was escorted to a local hospital by the county bomb squad and was operated on partly under water because the initiator is activated by air. "We were all on edge," Dr. Michael Gor-2 don told the Rocky Mountain News.

Had the trigger exploded the man could have been killed. From Star-Bulletin wire services Tom Cruise is suing a German magazine for $60 million for calling him a sterile man with "a zero sperm count." Cruise filed the defamation suit in Los Angeles superior court this week, contending that the magazine Bunte fabricated an interview in which it quoted Cruise as saying he was "sterile" and "cannot produce children." lawsuit says the 34-year-old Cruise is not sterile. It also says he "feels strongly that people who are sterile should not be reviled or subjected to ridicule for that condition." Cruise and his wife Nicole Kidman have two adopted children. The suit says Cruise did not make the statement and was not even asked about the subject during the interview. The magazine had no immediate comment Pennywise ex-bassist found dead The former bass player in the popular California punk band Pennywise has died of a gunshot wound, and police say they're treating it as a possible suicide.

Jason Thirsk, 27, had been dead for at EAR ABB I am the mother of a 3-year-old boy and a 2- month-old daughter. Associated Press least a day when his girlfriend discovered his body on Monday evening at his home in Hermosa Beach, police said. Thirsk apparently had been despondent since splitting with Pennywise several months earlier. Bomb scares the stars away A bomb scare forced the evacuation of a two-block stretch of Hollywood Boulevard Wednesday night The scare followed Walk of Fame induction ceremonies honoring TELEVISION TONI GH Like any proud parent, I love the chance to show off my children and the attention we receive in supermarkets, church, the mall. People constantly stop to comment on "that adorable baby." They ask her age, who she looks like, how much she weighed at birth whatevef is on their minds.

I'm always happy to talk, but I dread it now because they ignore my; son. Through the interviews, his little face is bright and interested, but his sweet face crumples when he realizes that, yet again, no one notices him. It breaks my heart to see him hurt like that Please remind your readers that children of all ages ha ve feelings. He's so proud of ber ing the big brother, and he would love to tell anyone about her if only they would ask him. It's hard for a child suddenly to go from being the only child to invisible wheii a baby is around.

Friends who stopped by with gifts for the baby were no different. They give him a pat on the head and say, "No, this is for your sister." I anticipated that and kept little gifts wrapped for him in case visitors forgot him, but it's not the same. Anything, even a balloon meant especially for him, would have made his day. Older children don't need anything expensive; they just want to know they are remembered. A little gesture would mean the world and might prevent some deep-rooted sibling resentment OLDEST SIBLING, TOO DEAR OLDEST SIBLING: Thank you for a wonderful letter.

Most people don't mean to be unkind to the older chil-' dren they just forget that big brother or big sister still need a little attention, too. Write to Dear Abby, P.O.

For instance, the word "live" crops up in the title of a popular weekday talk show.
