Frederick Von Anhalt

If it please the court, let us stipulate to a few things upfront: First, Zsa Zsa Gabor does n ot look so fat that it would take three or four strong men to lift her onto a horse. And Elke Sommer does not resemble a bald-headed, Hollywood has-been who hangs out in seedy bars and has to sell hand-knitted pullover sweaters to eke out a living.

The morning had begun badly, and Zsa Zsa Gabor was still shaken hours later. Schatzi the German shepherd had attacked Genghis Kahn the Shih Tzu, injuring the lap dog's eye in an apparent fit of jealousy. "Oh, I can't be-LIEVE it!" Gabor declared. "Heart attack time, darling. I thought I would have a heart attack!"

Zsa Zsa Gabor said today she's giving marriage another whirl in August, wedding Prince Frederick von Anhalt, Germany's Duke of Saxony, at her Bel Air home. It will be her eighth marriage. "With all of my previous marriages," Gabor said, "I've only had three husbands--Conrad Hilton, the father of my daughter, George Sanders and my first, Burhan Asaf Belgee, the minister of propaganda of Turkey. The other four were only legalized love affairs."

Prince Frederick von Anhalt, consort to Zsa Zsa Gabor, has suggested that it is outrageous to require "the rich and famous" to serve time in jail, as if they were, well, no better than anyone else. This is a quaintly feudal notion of how justice should be served, but it is not the standard embodied in the law. If you can't do the time, as they say in the slammer, don't do the crime. That's sound advice, even for the rich and famous.

The scene: A launch party (three days after the fact) for the rebroadcast of 100 episodes of the "The Steve Allen Show" (1956-60) on the HA! comedy channel, airing daily Monday through Friday (as of last Monday) at 7:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. After cocktails at the Beverly Hills Hotel, Allen screened some of the show's highlights, which, indeed, elicited a steady and vocal stream of ha's.

Stern, Smith's romantic partner; Vergie Arthur, her estranged mother; or Larry Birkhead, her ex-boyfriend.

--President Reagan presented piano virtuoso Vladimir Horowitz with the Medal of Freedom Monday and praised him for his "pilgrimage of peace" during his triumphant concert tour of the Soviet Union. The dapper 82-year-old concert pianist, wearing his signature polka dot bow tie and matching breast pocket handkerchief, beamed with delight as First Lady Nancy Reagan placed the medal around his neck during a brief ceremony in the Roosevelt Room. "What can I say?

It was a grand old retirement ceremony as the "Grand Old Lady" stood on the deck of "Old Ironsides" to accept her country's plaudits for 43 years of Navy service. "I regret leaving active duty," Rear Adm. Grace Hopper, 79, the nation's oldest active military officer and the co-inventor of the widely used computer language COBOL, told a gathering on the 189-year-old Constitution in Boston.
