Calista Flockhart is
                       full--can't-even-eat-a-wafer-thin-mint full--of
                       answering questions about her weight.

                       In fact, the Ally McBeal star, currently out
                       promoting her upcoming Shakespeare adaptation, A
                       Midsummer Night's Dream, has told interviewers she
                       won't weigh in (sorry, we'll stop now) on that
                       subject anymore.

                       But producers at NBC's Today show refuse to be
                       told what they can and can't ask ("We never agree
                       to restrictions on interviews," a Today show
                       spokesperson says) and, in turn, Flockhart has
                       canceled a long-booked interview with the morning
                       show.

                       Then again, what new information could be attained
                       from asking the actress whether she has an eating
                       disorder for at least the 271st time?

                       Aggressively confronted about her waifish state by
                       20/20's Connie Chung Wednesday, Flockhart
                       impatiently denied she has a problem--yet again.
                       "No, no. But what do you think I'm going to say?
                       'Yeah, I do?'...The problem with this disease
                       [anorexia] is that people who have this disease
                       are in denial...I cannot win in this situation,
                       which is what has happened throughout this year.
                       It's that I was stuck between a rock and a hard
                       place."

                       Flockhart's publicist, Pat Kingsley, agrees (of
                       course), that the question has been asked--and
                       answered--too many times already, "and it always
                       comes out the same. We just said, 'Enough is
                       enough.' We're fed up with it, and we don't want
                       to put her out there anymore."

                       Meanwhile, the actress' scheduled interviews on
                       CBS' Late Show with David Letterman and the
                       syndicated Rosie O'Donnell Show--more
                       entertainment-oriented programs where bending to
                       the demands of guests is de rigueur--are still on.

                       "The Rosie O'Donnell Show is a talent-friendly
                       show, and if guests don't want to discuss
                       something, it's okay with us," explains a
                       spokeswoman for the talker.
