CELEBRITY ROUNDUP

Tim McGraw: The tour, the chip, the scent

Tim McGraw is one hot ticket.

The 41-year-old country star, who recently won his 11th CMA award, will rock our worlds 8 p.m. Saturday on the West Palm Beach stop of his Live Your Voice tour.

Instead of saluting him with your lighter, raise a bag of his very own brand of chips: Tim McGraw Spicy Jalapeño Fritos, which recently hit Wal-Mart shelves.

Besides his corn-chip deal, McGraw is coming out with a men's scent with Coty this summer. We're sure McGraw by Tim McGraw (how original) got wifey Faith Hill's sniff of approval.

Hill, 40, has been married to her cowboy for over 10 years; they have three daughters. She's opted to stay home for this outing.

• Cruzan Amphitheatre, 601-7 Sansbury's Way, West Palm Beach; Livenation.com or Ticketmaster.com; $33.75 lawn, $63.75 reserved seating.

PRINCESS DIARIES

Six of the late Princess Diana's gowns at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino are on display through Sunday.

Drool over elegant duds like a champagne-color, glass-beaded shift; a beaded lace evening gown; and a halter dress dripping with sequins.

Also included in the Dresses for Humanity II show is rock memorabilia such as Eric Clapton's white Versace suit; Elton John's flower-emblazoned jacket; and Keith Moon's black velvet Turnbull & Asser robe.

• Hours: 11 a.m.-9 p.m. Friday and Sunday; 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday. $10. 1 Seminole Way, near Hollywood; 866-502-PLAY (7529). $10.

CAT FIGHT!

Star Jones isn't having the best spring.

First, divorce (from Al Reynolds), now problems with a former boss ( Barbara Walters).

Jones' former View cohost, 76, apparently didn't hold much back in her new memoir, Audition (Knopf, $29.95). Besides dirt about a torrid extramarital affair with former Sen. Edward Brooke, the TV icon also dissed Jones, 46, about not telling viewers she had gastric bypass surgery in 2003.

''It put us all in a terrible position,'' Walters writes. ``It meant we virtually had to lie for Star, especially when she said again and again on the air that her weight loss was due primarily to portion control and Pilates.''

Jones fought back in Us Weekly:

''It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character.'' Me-ow!

• See Walters spew 7:30 p.m. May 20 during an onstage chat hosted by WPLG-ABC Channel 10's Laurie Jennings at Temple Judea, 5500 Granada Blvd., Coral Gables. Get two free tickets with your purchase of Audition at any Books & Books. More info: www.booksand books.com.
