Keaton takes shot at Woody

Diane Keaton and Woody Allen may have worked together on eight movies, but don't expect the Academy Award-winning actress to start collaborating on a script with Allen. "He thinks I'm an idiot," Keaton tells TV Guide in its May 26 issue. "He does. Call him up and ask him and he'll tell you. The truth is, he thinks I'm an idiot, but he likes me."

Keaton, who is directing and producing a pilot for a Fox drama about a high-powered publishing family, won a best actress Oscar for the title character in "Annie Hall." "I tried to make him like me," she said. "And he's not social � he isn't somebody who runs around making a lot of new friends. So therefore, he didn't have much of a choice."

Redford sells his Malibu digs

Robert Redford has parted with some beachside Malibu property for more than $9 million. The actor-producer-director sold his 5,300-square-foot, five-bedroom home to a physician and his wife for $6 million, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday. Redford also sold an adjacent lot to another buyer for more than $3 million. He had bought the lot from playwright Neil Simon in 1994 to prevent anyone from building next to the home he purchased in 1986. Redford, whose primary residence is a 5,000-plus-acre property in Utah, also is looking to sell his New York residence, a three-bedroom Fifth Avenue penthouse listed earlier this year for $15 million.

The mansion and the masterpiece

The buyer of country singer Trisha Yearwood's 17-acre hilltop estate, Nightwatch, also will get a giant copy of the Rembrandt painting that gave the home its name.

The 15-by-17-foot oil-on-canvas copy of "The Night Watch" dominates the expansive living room with its 27-foot ceiling.

"When you turn the corner and see that big painting, it takes your breath away," Yearwood told The Tennessean in Sunday's editions. The estate is on the market for $499,000. "I was planning to live in that house the rest of my life," Yearwood said. "I loved that house. Really it was just needing to make a change in every aspect of my life."

Fonda eyes Southern artists

Jane Fonda was touring sites in Alabama to learn more about the works of self-taught artists for a book on vernacular art she's helping to publish. Fonda met this week with several artists around the state to learn more about the genre, the subject of a second volume of "Souls Grown Deep," a book devoted to Southern artists. Fonda said she became interested in the genre after purchasing a work by Bessemer, Ala., artist Thornton Dial.

Fonda, who won best actress Oscars for 1971's "Klute" and 1978's "Coming Home," recently filed for divorce from CNN founder Ted Turner.
