As they passed the furniture complex, local boy Stroud told Segal, "My friend Andy Bumatai's taping his show there." They popped in and surprised the stand-up comedian-turned-talk show host.

ISLE BALLERINA TO STUDY IN RUSSIA

The school is the home of the celebrated Kirov Ballet and has produced a who's-who of ballet superstars, including Rudolph Nureyev, Natalia Makarova, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Vaslav Nijinksy and Anna Pavlova.

BRAXTON BOUNCED CHECK, SUIT SAYS

LOS ANGELES — Toni Braxton has been sued by a wardrobe and costume designer who alleges the Grammy-winning singer wrote him a bad check and still owes him $15,000 for work on a Las Vegas show.

Anthony Franco filed the lawsuit Friday in L.A. Superior Court claiming the sultry R&B singer had agreed to pay him $35,000 to design the entire wardrobe for the "Toni Braxton: Revealed" show.

Franco says he received a check, but it was returned for insufficient funds. He alleges Braxton and co-defendant Liberty Entertainment Inc. put a stop-payment on the check.

Franco claims he was eventually paid $20,000, leaving an outstanding balance of $15,000.

SHEEN REJECTS SPERM REQUEST

NEW YORK — Charlie Sheen claims ex-wife Denise Richards wants him to father a third child.

"There was a request for a donation," Sheen tells syndicated TV show "Entertainment Tonight" in an interview that was to air last night. "Without getting into it here ... there is a specific document relating to this that I am going to reserve for a court."

When asked if he would ever consider such a possibility, the 41-year-old actor says: "I would sooner, in exactly what I'm wearing, walk on the surface of the moon. Does that answer it?"

A spokeswoman for Richards, 36, wasn't immediately available for comment.

Sheen and Richards divorced last year. They have two daughters, 3-year-old Sam and 2-year-old Lola.

Sheen is engaged to real estate investor Brooke Mueller, 29.
