Moore, 38, of Burbank, known while modeling as Rasheeda Moore, was not at the Van Nuys court. Defense attorney Ron Lewis entered the plea for her, said Ted Goldstein, a city attorney's office spokesman.
Court Commissioner Mitchell Block assessed a fine of $390 and penalties that boosted the total to $927.
Moore also was ordered to attend a 90-day alcohol education school. A 90-day restriction was placed on her driver's license allowing her only to drive to and from work and to and from the school.
She was stopped by North Hollywood police on Jan. 1 at 11:40 p.m. because she was driving with her headlights off.
Moore, a friend of Barry's, worked as an undercover informant for the FBI, calling the mayor to a Washington hotel room where he was arrested Jan. 18 for investigation of possessing cocaine.
\ Gov. Michael Dukakis rested at home Friday after undergoing surgery for a broken hand he suffered while helping push his father-in-law's car from a snowdrift, his press office said.
Dukakis fractured the fourth and fifth metacarpals, the bones between the fingers and the wrist.
During a two-hour operation at Brigham and Women's Hospital, done under local anesthesia, doctors used a plate and screws to set the bones in his left hand.
The unsuccessful presidential candidate also tore the ligament on the inside of his right thumb during the Feb. 24 accident and was expected to undergo minor surgery on that hand later.
The governor was wearing a plaster splint, which will be replaced next week with a removable one. Healing will take up to six weeks, his doctors said.
\ Mr. Blackwell, who annually compiles a list of the nation's worst-dressed celebrities, says he doesn't dress down movie stars; he's merely offering critiques.
"Is it insulting to critique theater? To say Nureyev can't get 2 inches off the floor? If they take it seriously, the hell with them," he said.
Blackwell, who does not use a first name, was in Indianapolis at several social functions and visiting friends.
Asked if his lists make him the Don Rickles of fashion, Blackwell replied: "I have more class than he does, and I'm a hell of a lot cuter, too."
\ Lee Iacocca tried to stage a coup at Ford Motor Co. in 1978 by telling company directors that Chairman Henry Ford II was senile, says an upcoming Ford biography.
Shortly after his attempt to unseat Ford, Iacocca was fired, according to William Hayes, author of "Henry: A Memoir of Henry Ford II," to be published in June.
Iacocca told directors "that Henry, still not 60 years of age, was senile and not up to the job," said Hayes, who last year retired as vice chairman of Ford of Europe.
Ford fired Iacocca and three months later Iacocca was appointed president of Chrysler Corp. He was elected chairman a year later.
Chrysler spokesman A.C. Liebler declined to comment on the book.
Ford died in 1987 at age 70.
\ Smokey Robinson and Sheena Easton, rock stars who say they rose from their poor upbringings partly because their parents instilled a love of reading, are joining a $40 million literacy campaign.
Coors Brewing Co.'s five-year "Pass It On" campaign is among the largest corporate commitments ever aimed at family and adult literacy. The campaign features a concert tour this spring.
Easton, who grew up in a blue-collar town in Scotland, said her mother had her reading at an early age.
"I learned from my mother that books hold a magic, a way to escape," she said.
Robinson, brought up in a Detroit housing project, credited his father, a self-taught reader, with giving him a love of learning.
"In my particular neighborhood," Robinson said, "the odds against my making something of my life were enormous."
