THE PEOPLE COLUMN

Wynonna Judd releases her first compact disc as a solo performer this week.

The new single, "She is His Only Need," starts arriving at radio stations Tuesday.

Judd formerly sang with her mother, Naomi Judd, until her mother retired from the country music duo in December because of chronic hepatitis.

Judd previews the single on tonight's American Music Awards, marking her first solo performance since her mother gave up the road.

Roseanne and Tom Arnold have dropped the National Enquirer from a lawsuit over a story that said the couple turned a rented Beverly Hills mansion into a "pigsty."

The Santa Monica Superior Court lawsuit filed in August sought unspecified damages from the supermarket tabloid and the mansion's owner, Spencer Proffer. It accused them of conspiring to concoct the story.

The Arnolds dropped the National Enquirer from the lawsuit Friday, saying they had based their claims against it on information from alleged tabloid insider James Cruse, which they now believe probably was false.

Cruse said in a sworn deposition that an Enquirer editor ordered reporters to dump trash in the mansion, then photograph it.

"Once it became apparent to our counsel that Cruse was unreliable, we felt morally obligated to immediately dismiss our claim against the Enquirer," the Arnolds said in a statement.

Actor Gordon Jump, who played Arthur Carlson on the television series "WKRP in Cincinnati," has filed for divorce after 29 years of marriage.

Jump cited "irreconcilable differences" with his wife, Anna.
