Actually, the as-yet-untitled pilot will focus on New York City's no- nonsense Judge Michael Corriero and the way he handles the violent youngsters arrested in Manhattan. Ferrara whose haunting film "The Addiction" was just accepted for competition at the Berlin Film Festival told us the TV pilot is being written and he loves what he -has seen so far. "We're looking at a reality show which would really get down and show these kids for what they are," he said.

Call it Father Flannagan meets "Cops." "Here's a New York judge who is a last resort for young offenders who've reached the end of their rope," a spokesman for Tartikoff told us. "It's not all tough love. Sometimes it's fashioning something that will turn their life around."

She plays a 7-11 clerk in what's being described a Generation X-type film. "People are really going to step and take notice," they said. Yeah, like she needs a whole new As if we need more proof that Jaye Davidson photographs better as a woman.

Fashion photog Sante D'Orazio, who's married to model Kara Young, will shoot for an upcoming Detour magazine in which Jaye will be styled as a woman and Kara will be styled as a man. Is that any way to thank the woman who's tossing you a 39th birthday bash at Bowery Bar Monday night and inviting the biggest models KINGS: John Bon Jada Pinkett Jovi thought he had a great idea when his in-house engineer, Obie O'Brien, announced he was Big Splurge Man getting hitched on Elvis' birthday at Graceland Chapels in Vegas. Bon Jovi, as best man, secretly told all the guests (including Emilio Estevez) to come dressed as The King. And they did. Imagine his surprise when Obie and his wife-to-be walked in dressed as Elvis and IT: Top secret news at People is that the magazine suits have made their decision on who will reign as "Sexiest Man Alive" for next week's issue.

Sources tell us, the race was a runaway from the start and, dnimroll please, Brad Pitt won in a Anyone can give a shout-out these days. But sometimes it's what you lay out that truly counts. Take the current plight of Tupac Shakur. Ever since he was found guilty of sexual abuse and sent off to Rikers, you can't listen to a hip-hop radio station without hearing big-name rap artists delivering a constant stream of personal messages or shout-outs to him. But actress Jada Pinkett allegedly went the extra yard.

Sources say the actress who has dated Tupac reportedly forked over $100,000 toward the singer's $3 million bail. It was reported the other day that Judge Ernst Rosenberger had no intention of lowering Tupac's bail, despite the fact that the rapper's label, Interscope Records, raised and Pinkett nicely pitched in her share. "Not to worry," said a source close to Tupac, who wouldn't confirm Pinkett's donation. We're reaching out to a lot of people. We will raise the money." Meantime, Tupac is said to be angry at John Singleton for deciding against easting him in "Higher Learning" after he promised the rapper the lead role.

Sources say Columbia suits weren't thrilled with Tupac's scrapes with law and advised Singleton against it Even though some sort of rift formed between Major Giuliani's, deputy chief of staff Bruce Teitelbaum and Assemblyman Dov Ilikind (when the Mayor broke with the Republicans to endorse former Gov. Mario Cuomo and Hikind broke with the Denis to support George Pataki), the Mayor and Hikind still were able to break bread and mend differences at the same time while celebrating Hikind's nephew bar mitzvah Sunday night. We hear the Mayor left a fundraiser for the Ramaz School an upper East Side Hebrew day school to go to the bar mitzvah of Abraham Dovid Ilikind. The bar mitzvah boy's dad is Pinc-hus Ilikind, who's not only Dov's brother but also deputy director of the city Community Assistance Unit The mayor spent an hour and a half at the bar mitzvah party, danced up a storm, and delivered a warm speech to the Hikinds and Abraham. We're happy it took a simcha like Abraham's bar mitzvah to bring everyone together.

Weighty Issue For Barbi Twins The Barbi Twins, who've just now drained the mud from their Malibu ranch, ought to be thrilled that Playboy is including them in an upcoming top-secret picture book on supermodels titled appropriately enough "Supermodels." But they're not They're embarrassed. But what could be so bad about Playboy deciding you're worthy enough to have your nude layouts alongside beauties Cindy Crawford, Elle Macpherson, Stephanie Seymour, Helena Christensen, Rachel Williams, Robin Givens, Kim Basinger and others? "The last thing we need is to see our bloated faces and big asses next to those gorgeous girls." Shane Barbi told us. "It's flattering to be in the same book, but some of those girls are 115 pounds and stand 6 feet tall. We weighed 145 and were doing laxatives in those shots. We hated the way we look back then." Now, though, Shane assured us the girls are 120 or so and never felt healthier.

Either way, look for the book which is top secret like everything else Playboy does to feature 19 pages on the twins as well as stunning shots of the other girls by Herb Ritts and Sante D'Orazio. It's due in March and Playboy wasn't going to tell you about it until next month I mmmi iiiif em 1 a i 4 Q. tu CD CD iiiu mating gaiiic; in tilt; ins r- a 8" av i ic-a.
