IF PAMELA Anderson and Kid Rock can't make it work, what hope is there for the rest of us? The pneumatic pinup and the stringy-haired rocker each filed divorce papers yesterday seeking to end their marriage of less than four months. It seems that once the three-month honeymoon ended, all that was left were the "irreconcilable differences. " Pam's rep had no comment on the matter, but Pam wrote on her Web site, "Yes, it's true," adding the cryptic: "Unfortunately impossible.

In Ching Siu-Tung's A Chinese Ghost Story, people fly through the air with the greatest of ease. They bounce off trees like pinballs crashing around an arcade game, they leap mighty leaps and somersault mighty somersaults. Warriors shoot fire from their hands - an apocalyptic hailstorm of fire. The dead are alive again, and the living are in for a rollicking wild time. This exhilaratingly wacky tale from Hong Kong - about a dim-but-noble loan collector (Leslie Cheung) who falls in love with a beautiful ghost (Wong Tsu Hsien)

Things are a little weird this week. The three top new videos are a French film that can truly be called bizarre, an offbeat comedy, and drama about a man on the edge of society.

A darker-than- dark comedy about love and cannibalism, this haywire feature from French filmmakers Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Marc Caro is a screwball synthesis of Buster Keaton classics, Terry Gilliam's Brazil, the ricocheting animation of Tex Avery, the cinematic brashness of the Coen brothers and the freak-show atmosphere of David Lynch.

Ask BET's Reginald Hudlin why mixed martial arts is the newest muse among BET's reality television offerings, and he will take you back to tales of rooting for the greatest fighters to ever step into a ring.

Kevin Welde is 15-0 this season at 152 pounds and has 78 victories in his four-year career at Cardinal O'Hara. That's 78 more victories than doctors thought he would get five years ago. When Welde was in the eighth grade, he found out that he had a bicuspid valve leak in his heart and that he was suffering from patent ductus arteriosus, a breathing problem that he was told began at birth. Welde feels fine these days. He visits Children's Hospital of Philadelphia every six months for a checkup and has been cleared to wrestle.

The latest way to improve work habits, it seems, requires a belted white tunic, loose white pants and bare feet - all the better to land a kick, Bruce Lee fashion, to the boss' chin and relieve some tension.

Preview audiences who have seen Rob Cohen's lively homage to the American-born, Hong Kong-raised Lee have sighed and even sobbed at Dragon's depiction of the birth and early childhood of Brandon Lee who became a promising action film star, like his father - and died recently under...
