WHAT ARE THE CHANCES DEREK JETER WILL FINALLY TIE THE KNOT?
Walter Scott notes in this Sunday's issue of PARADE magazine that Jeter and his newgal pal Stacy Lynn Spierer are tight, but don't count on him settlingdown any time soon. The 30-year-old Jeter just has too much of a historyof loving and leaving 'em. The Yankee slugger's exes include pop divaMariah Carey, video jockey Vanessa Minnillo and actress JordanaBrewster. So possibly the best piece of advice for Spierer, who's'appeared in minor TV and film roles, would be to don't give up your day job.
