Tattle's favorite seasonal reading: Neiman Marcus catalog

WE KNOW that most of you haven't started shopping for Tattle's holiday gift yet - that means you, Bill O'Reilly - but in case you need some hints, the 87th edition of the Neiman Marcus Christmas Book is offering, for $1.85 million, a personalized 25-carat diamond ring with a trip to Africa so we can see where the diamond came from.

If it's a blood diamond, the trip is unfortunately one-way.

More to Tattle's liking: an outdoor entertainment system replete with a 201-inch television that rises out of the ground. It can be yours (and then ours) for $1.5 million (plus shipping and handling).

What the heck is S&H on a $1.5 million gift? And that better include installation.

For $30,000, we can spend the night at architect Philip Johnson's Glass House, in Connecticut.

For that night only, there will be no stone-throwing because, you know . . . .

Ah, synergy.

Marvel Comics and Disney said yesterday that they will publish a comic book inspired by Disneyland's fabled but never built Museum of the Weird as the first title under its "Disney Kingdoms" banner.

The five-issue miniseries titled "Seekers of the Weird" will go on sale in January.

Disney designer Rolly Crump created the museum in 1965 as a walk-through attraction filled with mystical and magical curiosities from around the world that was to be connected to the Haunted Mansion.

After Walt Disney died, the designs remained on the drawing board.

Or was that a Ouija board?

* Vanity license plates with the iconic Superman "S" insignia went on sale Monday in Ohio. They feature the phrase "Truth, Justice and the American Way."

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that relatives of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were on hand for the plates' unveiling outside the Cleveland-area home where Siegel lived.

The plates cost $20, plus the standard registration fee of $34.50 or the typical $16.25 in fees to replace existing plates. Part of the fee goes to the Siegel and Shuster Society, which commemorates the men's work.

No word yet if the Superman license plates were made in prison.

* The vibrant, cheerful and safe town of Riverdale is getting a ghoulish makeover.

In "Afterlife With Archie," a series debuting today, Archie Comics is launching not just its first horror title, but also its first book carrying a rating for teens and older sold only in comic shops.

"It's a hard core horror book," said Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, a Harvey Award-winning writer who melded his personal interests and horror obsessions into influences for the book. "This is why I was meant to do comics."

"I really view this as Archie's 'Walking Dead,' " publisher Jon Goldwater said, referring to the Robert Kirkman-created series that has blossomed into a hit TV show.

* A federal judge in New Jersey is allowing Lauryn Hill to go on tour before completing her sentence on a tax conviction.

Attorney Nathan Hochman says that Hill has been permitted to work during the last six weeks of this year before finishing the balance of her three-month home detention.

* Madonna has begun reading the Quran so that she can have a better understanding of all the holy books.

The former material girl (is she now the Al Jazeerial girl?) was raised in a strict Roman Catholic home, but since the late 1990s has been a follower of Kabbalah, a form of Jewish mysticism.

* Tom Hanks told "Late Show with David Letterman" that he was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

Hanks said his doctor said, " 'If you can weigh what you weighed in high school, you'll essentially be completely healthy and not have type 2 diabetes.' And I said, 'Well I'm going to have type 2 diabetes then.' "

The disease is controllable through diet.

* Hailie Scott, Eminem's 17-year-old daughter with ex-wife Kim Scott - was named Homecoming Queen at Chippewa Valley High School, in Michigan, last week.

Then a bucket of blood fell on her head and everyone realized it was just another promotion for "Carrie."

Just fibbing.

Eminem attended the coronation but stayed in the background so that Hailie could have her moment.

* Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez have named their baby Maceo Robert Martinez.

TMZ.com was at the baby-naming.

* Taylor Swift has set a record with the Nashville Songwriters Association International.

The organization announced yesterday that it would name Swift as its songwriter/artist of the year. This is her sixth win, beating out five-time winners Vince Gill and Alan Jackson.

The six awards will be displayed at the Taylor Swift Education Center, which opens Saturday at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, in Nashville. Taylor donated $4 million to the center.

* No, Betty White's complexion didn't get waxier. She's joining the collection at Madame Tussauds museum in Washington.

The museum says that a new wax figure of the 91-year-old White will be unveiled today. Washington Humane Society CEO Lisa LaFontaine will unveil White's figure to pay homage to the "Hot in Cleveland" star's passion for animals.

So they should probably move the wax Betty away from the wax Lassie.
