THE PEOPLE COLUMN

Roseanne, the caustic queen of prime time TV, delivered an eight-pound boy named Buck Thomas on Sunday.

Roseanne, 42, underwent in-vitro fertilization in November, the same month she and Tom Arnold were divorced. She married former bodyguard Ben Thomas, her third husband, on Valentine's Day.

Nancy Kerrigan has set a date for marrying her manager.

Kerrigan, 25, and Jerry Solomon, 40, will exchange vows Sept. 9 at the Church of the Covenant in Boston.

Solomon separated from his first wife in October 1993. He says he and Kerrigan became closer after she was clubbed on the knee in Detroit in January 1994 during the U.S. Figure Skating championships.

Kerrigan recovered and went on to win a silver medal at the Winter Olympics, beating Tonya Harding, the rival skater whose ex-husband was convicted in the attack.
