WHAT HAS ELIZABETH
PERKINS BEEN DOING SINCE WEEDS WAS
CANCELED? —Jim G., Baltimore

Q: What’s next for one of my favorite actresses, Anne Heche?
—Jeannie A., Phoenix
Girls star Allison Williams has landed the coveted title role in NBC’s upcoming musical Peter Pan Live! airing Thursday, Dec. 4.

How are you doing with flying? “It’s hard to make it look like magic—which is, of course, the goal—and it’s hard to make it look like I’m not be- ing pulled by something, but instead, that I am propelling myself into the air. It’s been great to get into the body of a reckless boy.”
A: Stay close to your TV— because Heche, 45, stars tonight in the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie One Christmas Eve, in which she plays a newly divorced mother doing her all to make the perfect holiday for her two children. In- stead, she encounters a series of mishaps through which she makes new
