VENUS SERVES UP LEATHER FASHIONS

Williams

   She's strong, beautiful, a tennis superstar, a marketing wonder and now a designer, too. Venus Williams, whose $40 million contract with Reebok is a record-breaker for a female athlete, has partnered with Wilsons Leather to serve up the Venus Collection, a line of contemporary leather separates debuting at Wilsons stores and Web site, www.WilsonsLeather.com, this month.
   Williams, who has studied design at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, worked with the retailer to develop the collection of pants, jackets, vests, skirts and camisoles mostly in black leather but also with a glimmer of metallic pearlized suede.
   Prices range from $129.99 for a suede blouson camisole to $450 for a two-button fitted blazer.

   JENNIFER ANISTON ROCKS OUT

Aniston

   Sometimes, Jennifer Aniston says, she can very much identify with the character she plays in her new Warner Bros. movie "Rock Star" in which she plays the girlfriend-on-the-sidelines to a budding superstar singer played by Mark Wahlberg (in a role her hubby Brad Pitt turned down).
   Sometimes she can identify with being on the sidelines; she's seen women and men gawk at her handsome 37-year-old husband.
   "These men and women who swoon are shameless and pathetic in a way, but when it comes down to it, these people don't know you, they know an image of you," Aniston explains.

   SUGGESTIONS TO GET BABIES TO SLEEP

   Here are tips to help parents sleep through the night:

Put babies into the crib when they look sleepy. Do not feed them to sleep or rock them to sleep.

Feed an infant who requires middle-of-the-night feeding quickly and put him back in the crib before he falls asleep.

By 2 months, most infants can get by on one middle-of-the-night feeding (two for some breast-fed babies); most infants can sleep through the night by 5 months.

If a child comes into your bedroom, return him immediately to his bed.

Remind yourself that this is important. Parents exhausted by lack of sleep can't be at their best.
