Jerry Hall plans to be Stoned on New Years Eve - she's ushering in the new millennium with ex-hubby Mick Jagger. Jagger, 56, has accepted his former wife's invitation to ring in the New Year with her and their four kids at her new $1 million luxury pad in the South of France, London's Sunday People reports.

The family reunion at Jerry's St. Tropez beach-front retreat will come only five months after she accepted a $15 million divorce settlement from Mick. "She couldn't bear the thought of spending millennium night without Mick," a source close to Jerry told the newspaper.

The first Corvette of the new millennium is on the auction block at the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green. The 2000 model year Corvette is expected to attract bids in the six-figure range. Those bids are being taken in person, by phone or on the museum's web site at www.corvettemuseum.com.

And there's a new book that will cure that millennial migraine brought on by all the Y2K hoopla. "2,000 Reasons To Hate the Millennium: A 21st Century Survival Guide," edited by Josh Freed and Terry Mosher (Simon & Schuster Fireside, $11; 160 pages). The book covers everything Y2Krazy, including a brief history of the last 1,000 years and a guide to sex, culture, pets and other millitrends of the next 1,000.

Here are some highlights:
