Hollywood Exclusive by Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith

Jazzy Songs and Hot Yoga for One-Time Supreme Mary Wilson/Stacy Keibler Puts the Hottie in Fantasy Football Event

Mary Wilson reports that the album of all-new material she's been working — with songs by Brian and Eddie Holland and Lamont Dozier — will be out "within a couple of months.

"We haven't decided on a name yet. It has something to do with my journey in life. It has a lot to say about life," says the songstress, who rose to fame as one of Motown's legendary Supremes — who, of course, were hit-making giants thanks to songs turned out by Holland-Dozier-Holland.

Wilson's new album is "more adult contemporary," she says. "It was originally supposed to come out this month, but it isn't quite there yet. Of course, there's no radio to play new music these days. There's the Internet and, well, we'll figure out something."

Right now, she's busy with her "Up Close" shows, singing sultry ballads at jazz clubs including Hollywood's Catalina Bar & Grill Sept. 2-5.

"I do 'Body and Soul' — there's a little bit of that sexy thing going on. I do Joni Mitchell's 'Both Sides Now.' That really sums up my life. I do 'Here's to Life' — a very, very beautiful song."

There's not a Supremes song on the list. Those interested in hearing those golden oldies should go to one of her rock 'n' roll concerts, not her cabaret performances, Wilson says. "I do my concerts all the time — although, this past year or two have been very, very slow with the economy down," she observes, referring to the abysmal industry-wide concert scene. "There've been cutbacks on corporate shows, too. But they'll pick up when the economy pick(s) up."

Wilson, who lives with three of her eight grandchildren (ages five to 30), looks beautiful and fit. "I'm 66, and I love being 66 — 66 and a half, actually," she volunteers. At a recent rock 'n' roll festival in New Jersey, she ran into one of the members of 60s band Paul Revere & the Raiders, who asked her how she could still look so good.

"I do things to keep myself up. I drink lots of water. I do Bikram yoga, the hot yoga, which is a strenuous workout. I'm not lazy about my upkeep," she says, "but I'm kind of bad — I drink a lot of champagne."

TALKING TIGHT ENDS: Stacy Keibler admits she's no expert on fantasy football — yet — but the WWE diva-turned-actress knows enough to be hosting tonight's (8/17) Superdraft VIP party at Las Vegas' Palms Casino Resort.

"Fantasy football has become so big. I'm excited about it. I'm a big Baltimore Ravens fan. I used to be a Ravens cheerleader and a season ticket holder," she reminds. "By getting involved in your draft, you learn not only more about your own team, you get more involved in all the teams."

Certainly, a lot of the same fellows who followed her wrestling career are bound to be aboard this odd yet growing phenomenon of men and occasionally women who spend money to create fantasy football teams. In the case of Superdraft, it's about football, but it's also about partying.

Keibler points out that the relatively new Superdraft weekend festivities span several events, including a model search. "Ashton's (Kutcher) doing a live podcast. Snoop Dogg is performing." Some 2,700 people are expected.

The popular blond personality, also remembered for her stint on "Dancing With the Stars," just finished filming an episode of NBC's "Chuck" for the fall — playing an undercover CIA agent. "Steve Austin is also in it. We know each other from our WWE days, you know. We get to have a little bit of a fight."

Keibler also has a movie in the can, "Dysfunctional Sons." She'd love to do a sitcom — or a role in a high-octane movie. "My career has been more of a marathon than a sprint. I get offers all the time to do things, but I try to be smart about what I do," she says, "to only do things that are right for me and make sense."

RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES: A mid-October production start has been set for the movie going under the temporary title of "The Amanda Knox Project" — as in the true story of the 20-year-old American woman living in Italy who was convicted of killing British Meredith Kercher, one of her roommates. The grisly case involved sexual violence and murder under the influence of hashish and sexually violent graphic novels owned by Knox's boyfriend, wealthy heir Raffaele Sollecito, who was also found guilty in the case. Knox was sentenced to 26 years in prison. Casting for Knox and other principals is under way.

ANOTHER DOG HEARD FROM: Just when you think they must be running out of new reality show ideas, here comes word of "Celebrity Best in Show." Now in the works, the planned series is being described as "Dancing with the Stars" — but with pets. Celebrities who want their doggies to win this TV competish are being sought, along with dog trainers, judges and a host.
