Are you sick of Monica Lewinsky?

A lot of people say so but that’s hard to believe, considering that ABC’s interview with her was second only to the Super Bowl in ratings this television season. Maybe, now that you’ve watched Barbara Walters interviewing her for two hours, you’re sick of her.

But plenty of people aren’t. Good Morning America was bombarded with so many e-mails asking what brand of lipstick Monica wore that it finally broke down and passed it on at the ABC.com Web site. It’s Club Monaco, Glaze, with nude-colored lip liner.

A Sunrise owner of a cosmetics salon claims you can’t get Club Monaco cosmetics in South Florida. But what was special about her makeup was not the lipstick but the fact she was using a high-shine gloss over it.

That’s according to Chelsea Firestein, owner of Chelsea & Co. salon at 11929 W. Sunrise Blvd. in Sunrise. (Firestein claims that’s her real name. She says her parents are British, and named her after the Chelsea football club.) Firestein sells a product made by a British company, Molton Brown, in its Wet Lips color, that she says will give anyone “the Monica look” when applied over any pink-brown lipstick color.

Firestein says she’s been bombarded with calls about that look since Channel 10 ran a segment about Monica’s cosmetic treatment last Friday.

“Women want to look great, and her makeup was flawless; her makeup was incredible,” Firestein said.

A bad movie

The name “Bill Fields” is not a popular one around Fort Lauderdale.

He’s the guy who moved one of the city’s favorite corporate headquarters, Blockbuster Entertainment, to Dallas because he didn’t like it here. Within six months after the move, he quit, or was forced out. Ex-Blockbuster executives here claim he wrecked the company after he de-emphasized video rentals in favor of selling candy, popcorn and CDs. And in any case, his replacement spent the next year undoing just about everything he did (with the exception of moving to Texas).

Well, Fields just quit another job abruptly, for the same reason he left Blockbuster. That is “to pursue other interests.” He had been hired by Hudson’s Bay Co., landing a $3 million signing bonus, but a promised turnaround hadn’t materialized. The former Wal-Mart executive was credited with improving the company’s Zeller discount chain, but apparently could make little headway improving its department stores.

Bails out again

J. Peterman, the catalog company made famous in Seinfeld episodes, was salvaged in a cliffhanger last week.

The Kentucky-based company was due to be liquidated, but a Midwestern chain, Paul Harris, bought its assets for $10 million.

On Seinfeld, Elaine worked there writing long-winded, pompous descriptions of merchandise for a distracted boss who traveled overseas in search of exotic merchandise.

Earlier this year, Peterman, who was a real person, blamed the chain’s demise on turmoil in the Asian markets, the poor Russian economy, computer problems and construction delays. All of those problems sound like potential Seinfeld plots, don’t they?

Ego might have outstripped management skill. The problems occurred as the company was launching plans to add 50 stores to its current 13.

Peterman is apparently not included in the deal. He told Dow Jones that Paul Harris had told him they wanted to take two to three months to decide whether they wanted him to stay with the company. And he didn’t want to wait while they made up their mind.
