WELCOME BACK TO This Just In, brought to you by Tostitos, and recently named the official morning newspaper column of the new millennium. If it's OK with everyone out there, I'd like to pick up where we left off -- with a little La-La from the Land of Pleasant Living. Yes! It's another Julia Roberts sighting! (I can't help it, friends. Eddie Querzoli, my first city editor, told me long ago: "Names is news, kid, names is news.")Roberts and co-star Richard Gere were in Riderwood yesterday for more work on "Runaway Bride," the romantic comedy from Lakeshore/Paramount directed by Garry Marshall.

"Singing in the Comeback Choir," by Bebe Moore Campbell. 374 pages. Putnam's Sons. $24.95.Black women buy books, and like to read about themselves. It took publishers forever to figure this out, but they finally got the message, and African-American readers are now among the most aggressively courted market segments in the book business.Hence the full-court press behind Bebe Moore Campbell's "Singing in the Comeback Choir," a Book-of-the-Month Club Main Selection whose author is being sent on a 20-city tour: Putnam, Campbell's publisher, obviously smells money.

Whaddaya know? Pool halls - or billiard parlors are now "respectable," and couples actually do go on dates in them.

March roared in like a laughing lion at Bowie Playhouse with 2nd Star Productions' opening of Ken Ludwig's comedy Leading Ladies. I laughed so often and so loudly on Saturday that I nearly lost my critic's anonymity, along with my dignity.

Ludwig's 2004 show is in the farcical tradition of his earlier hits, Lend Me a Tenor and Moon Over Buffalo, filled with colorful characters, coincidences, mistaken identities, an improbable plot and familiar one-liners to provide easy laughs appropriate to its nostalgic 1958 small-town setting.
