TABLOID TABU
Most Americans support a tabloid boycott in the wake of Princess Diana's death. According to a Los Angeles Times poll, 69 percent of those polled approve of a boycott, while 85 percent say tabloid editors should refuse to buy photos from paparazzi. As to where the blame for the car crash lies: 25 percent of those polled blamed the driver (Henri Paul), 14 percent blamed the paparazzi, three percent cited the tabloids that buy photos and two percent said the public who buy tabloids. One percent volunteered Prince Charles as being responsible for the tragedy.

EARL'S DIVORCE ON HOLD
The late Princess Diana's younger brother, who so eloquently eulogized his sister at Westminster Abbey last week, has put his divorce proceedings on hold, the Associated Press reports. The case between Charles Spencer and his wife, Victoria, had been scheduled to start Monday. Spencer lives a few blocks from his estranged wife in Constantia, 12 miles outside Cape Town, South Africa. They were married Sept. 16, 1989, and have four children. No reason was given for the postponement. Since their separation, Spencer has been romantically linked to married fashion designer Chantal Collopy and, more recently, to magazine fashion editor Josie Borain.

JFK JR. CREDITS JACKIE
John F. Kennedy Jr. is flattered that Princess Diana told The New Yorker she hoped her son William would emulate Kennedy's aplomb in handling the media, New York's Daily News reports. "That's very nice," Kennedy, now the editor-in-chief of George magazine, said. "But it's really not the same situation. I was really able to lead a normal life from about the age of five." In his opinion, Diana's sons "will have to constantly deal with (media attention) starting now." Kennedy's mother, the late Jacqueline Onassis, never formally instructed her children in handling the media, Kennedy said, but she was "a very strong woman, and we learned from her."
