Here's to space-cradle The first American astronaut to become pregnant says she will take maternity leave to have her first child late this summer.

Dr. Rhea Seddon Gibson, 34, declined last week to reveal the exact date the baby is due. She and her husband, Robert, who is also an astronaut, were married in May 1981 in her hometown of Murfreesboro, Term. The Gibsons, one of two married couples in the astronaut corps, joined the space agency in January 1978. Gibson, 35, is a Navy lieutenant commander from Lakewood, and is expected to pilot a future space-shuttle mission.

His wife, a physician, hopes to serve as a mission specialist IRS after Paycheck A very miffed federal judge in Pensacola, last week ordered country singer Johnny Paycheck to appear in court within two weeks to answer questions about his personal and corporate taxes. The Internal Revenue Service is seeking more than $100,000 in back taxes from Paycheck and about $50,000 in various taxes from Johnny Paycheck Enterprises. The singer failed to appear in court late last week. Authorities issued a tax summons against the entertainer last winter. According to his agent.

Paycheck, who sang the hit song 'Take This Job and Shove It," was touring Pennsylvania when he was due in court. The Mom racket Behind every tennis champion is his mother, right?

Larry E.

Arnold, director of ParaScience International, will be very happy to collect data from all you dreamboats. And he reports that dozens and dozens of people had identical dreams warning of the Three Mile Island disaster shortly before it happened, adding that it could have been averted if only a formally collated precognitive dream bank had been in operation at the time. The Titanic could have been saved, too, Arnold says, since lots of people claim to have had unsettling dreams about that huge liner at the time. His early research shows conclusively, he says, that great groups of people are having dreams right this minute about another Three Mile Island incident He'd like to hear from you if you've been dreaming about anything of interest Call him, not us. Rolling ball will gather some Stones The Rolling Stones will make a nine-nation European tour that will include performances in Spain in June and July, and Mick Jagger isn't mincing words about why.

That's when the World Cup finals will be held, and the rock group's lead singer has soccer (or football, as the British know it) on his mind. "We will be in Spain during the World Cup because we must see some football," Jagger said in London last week. Championship Tennis finalists collect their money. When the champ, whoever it is, steps center court for his $100,000, his mother will be right behind him to get a fox coat worth $43,000. The runner-up gets $40,000, and his mother will receive an alligator handbag.

Among those in the running are Eddie Dibbs, John McEnroe, Vince Van Patten and Vitas Gerulaitis. Dibbs' mother, who won a coat last year, at first wanted Eddie to finish college, but eventually backed his tennis career. Mrs. McEnroe wanted "a doctor, lawyer or a dentist in the family" but also wound up behind her son's court career. Cable show's a real zoo Joan Fmbery of the wonderful San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park wanted to be a veterinarian, but wound up nursemaiding animals from aardvarks to zebras on television talk shows.

Now her own show, "Animal Express," debuts next month on cable's Entertainment Channel. The daily show originates at the zoo. And that will be a lot easier than carting animals to the TV studios like the time she held a young water buffalo in her arms on the Dinah Shore show because the area wasn't properly carpeted. Then there was the marmoset on the Johnny Carson show. She was explaining how marmosets mark their territory when this one, to put it politely, marked Carson's head.

Of her own show, Embery says: "We'll take people behind the scenes and show them what goes on, how we treat animals, everything from root canal on jaguar to moving a giraffe from the zoo to the game park;" A TV view of excessive TV viewing The guy who owns superstation WTBS-TV and Cable News Network says Americans watch too much television. 'Television stations," said Ted Turner, "all of them, including mine, should be forced to run a disclaimer arning: 'Excessive television viewing can be detrimental to your mental Having delivered himself of that in an interview in Penthouse magazine. Turner estimated that cable television would be in 52 percent of American homes on Jan. 1, 1985, and between 85 and 90 percent by the end of the decade. As for the future of the three TV networks, which he calls dinosaurs.

Turner said, "It depends on what they do, how they react Dinosaurs look big right before the day they die. Empires can fall very quickly. Look what happened to Detroit."
