PEOPLE COLUMN
Jamie Kellner, the man who brought you Bart Simpson and Luke Perry, is stepping down as president and chief operating officer of Fox Broadcasting Co.
Kellner, 45, presided over the growth of Fox's network, created in 1986. Fox has carved out a niche with young viewers with shows such as "The Simpsons," "In Living Color" and "Beverly Hills, 90210."
\ No hide-a-bed in the basement for them; Bill and Hillary Clinton are doing right by their parents for the inauguration, reports Washingtonian magazine.
Virginia Kelley, Clinton's mother, will be staying at the Mayflower Hotel's $3,500-a-night presidential suite, and Hugh and Dorothy Rodham will camp in the Mayflower's just-plain suite, $3,000 a night.
The magazine says Kelley's suite has "a back-lighted glass presidential seal in the floor, and a glass ceiling with stained-glass coats of arms of the original 13 states . . . 13 telephones and a cabinet with five television screens."
\ Now that he's leaving the political stage, Ben Jones - better known as Cooter to "Dukes of Hazzard" fans - is trying for a comeback on the sound stage.
"There's no reason why I shouldn't get back into entertainment," said Jones, 51, who played the mechanic on the television show for seven years. "Sometimes, I wonder if I ever left."
Jones, a Democrat, was elected to Congress in 1988. He lost his bid for a third term in last year's primary after his district was shredded by reapportionment.
He told The Augusta, Ga., Chronicle that he is trying to sell two weekly TV series concepts - a detective drama and a comedy about a small-time country singer who unexpectedly gets elected to Congress.
