Michael Jackson, the singer-songwriter, will be honored by the Boy Scouts of America with a new award in his name "in recognition of his humanitarian effort for all mankind," the Los Angeles Area Council of the Boy Scouts of America said Monday.

Jackson, 31, has raised thousands of dollars for such charities as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, The Prince's Trust, the United Negro College Fund and Child Help USA.

Katharine Hepburn is auctioning off one of her paintings to benefit the North American Wildlife Association Inc. It is the only painting Hepburn has ever offered for public sale or view, said the Oscar-winning actress, who has been painting since the 1930s.

The 16-by-20-inch work is an impressionistic look at the Beverly Hills valley, painted while she was staying at actor John Barrymore's California home in the 1960s.

"I do hope it will bring a price, although I wouldn't give you a nickel for it," joked Hepburn.

Donald Trump's future has been foretold by - what else? - Stargazers and Spy magazine.

The August issue of Spy, the Trump-bashing monthly that dubbed The Donald a "short-fingered vulgarian," predicts that by April 1996, David Geffen will own Trump Tower and Yoko Ono will run The Plaza.

Donald reconciles with Ivana and they become co-hosts of the hit TV show "Lunch With Ivana and Me" . . . but Trump has put on 50 pounds and lost much of his hair.

But at least he has his health, you say. Uhhhh, not so fast. Astrologer Joyce Jillson forecasts that the Donald can expect an ulcer in the near future.

Menachem Begin, former Israeli Prime Minister, was in good condition Tuesday after a two-hour operation on a broken right hip, a spokeswoman for Jerusalem's Shaarei Tzedek Hospital said.

Begin, 76, tripped and fell in his living room.
