J ” m REACH TO START RLfAlNS MR. CAMERON l Grammys anger New York mayor NEW YORK (AP) — Rudolph Giuliani will probably not be get ting a “Nicest Mayor of the Year” award from the Grammys. Giuliani is in a tiff wi th the head of the award ceremony and says he does not care if the whole produc tion heads back to the West Coast. “I’m not worried about it at all. If they want to go back to L.A., they can,” Giuliani said. “I do not allow people to abuse members of the mayor’s staff without responding.” Giuliani claims Michael Greene, the president of the Na tional Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, verbally abused one of his staff who wanted an ex planation for why the mayor was cut from a nomination ceremony. Greene “used language with her you shouldn’t use and not only hasn’t promptly apologized for it, but is lying about it,” Giuliani said. Greene sent flowers to the aide, but she re turned them. The 40th an nual Grammy Awards show, slated for Feb. 25 at Radio City Music Hall, held a nomination Giuliani ceremony in early January in which Giuliani was invited to fill in for country crooner Clint Black. But when the nominations were to be announced, the mayor’s of fice was told Giuliani had been cut horn the script. When the aide asked for an expla nation, Greene exploded, Giuliani spokesperson Colleen Roche said. According to Roche, Greene screamed, “I’m not going to let a bunch of suits come into this par ty and tell me what to do.” A Grammy spokesperson de nied that there was a problem with the mayor. Giuliani’s indifference to the Grammys is a far cry from his attitude back when the Grammys moved to New York from Los Angeles. “There really is no other city, at least in America, that can celebrate a show like this quite the way that New York can,” he said at the time.

THIS )S BEFORE OuR T\rftE.| ^<1 NEW YORK (AP) — NBC may ask as much as $2 mil lion for a 30-second commercial on the final episode of “Seinfeld” — a figure that would break the record set just a few weeks ago by the network’s Super Bowl broadcast. The last original episode of the popular sitcom, slated for a full hour on May 14, is expected to attract a huge audience. The trade magazine Advertising Age said in Mon day’s edition that NBC started floating the $2 million asking price among media buyers last week and has no takers so far. But Larry Hoffner, president of network sales for NBC, said Monday there had been no final determina tion on what NBC is going to seek for the last “Seinfeld.” “We’re not out in the marketplace with this right now, but we expect to be shortly — in the next week or so,” he said. NBC set the record for the most expensive commer cial time only a few weeks ago when it raked in an av erage of $ 1.3 million for 30-second commercials on the Super Bowl. “Seinfeld” has been among the highest-rated series on TV in the past few seasons, with ratings this season in the low 20s. Hoffner said “we are looking at Super Bowl ratings” for the finale. Commercial time in original episodes of “Seinfeld” this season have reportedly been going for as much as $550,000 for a 30-second ad. Hoffner also said the “Seinfeld” audience contains a large number of relatively affluent people who make the show the only prime-time program they watch regularly. Jon Mandel, who oversees network ad purchases for the agency Grey Advertising, said the reported $2 mil lion asking price was designed to “get some headlines” and expects the real price will be lower. But he said NBC will get a high price for the program, and it may make sense for an advertiser like a movie stu dio that wants “to do something that reaches the maxi mum number of people in the shortest period of time.” Batman gets nod for Razzie Awards LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kevin Cost- net and Val Kilmer are up this year for Hollywood’s big Phooey. They were joined Monday by San dra Bullock and Fran Drescher in get ting nominations for Razzie Awards, the annual spoof of the Oscars hon oring the worst in film. The latest Batman & Robin got 11 nominations, with none for star George Clooney, if you don’t count the nod with co-star Chris O’Donnell for worst screen couple. “I think Batman is one of the big disappointments of the year. If we had a category for the loudest and most obnoxious, it surely would win,” said John Wilson. Speed 2: Cruise Control got eight nominations.
