Whoopi Goldberg and Ted Danson have made it official - they're over. In a joint statement, they declared that they "are no longer romantically involved. We look forward to working together again . . . without the kind of media scrutiny we have been subjected to over the past year."

Goldberg said she was now dating her Beverly Hills orthodontist, Jeffrey Cohen, with whom she showed up at a Washington gala for Ford's Theatre two weekends ago. "Jeff is a good friend," the actress said. "We are not having an affair."

For his part, Danson reportedly is trying to talk his wife of 16 years, Casey, into taking him back. They have two children. "Every time he's in a jam," said a source, "he runs back to his wife."

Attorney General Janet Reno, American Red Cross head Elizabeth Dole, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and screenwriter and director Nora Ephron are among Glamour magazine's Women of the Year.

Dole was cited for "strong leadership when natural disasters strike"; Reno for "taking big steps"; Ginsburg for being "a fair force for change"; and Ephron for "placing women - and a writer - in the director's chair."

The rest of the list: poet laureate Rita Dove, Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, sex crimes prosecutor Linda Fairstein and jockey Julie Krone.
