In other news of the day:
GARY Condit has settled his defamation case against Vanity Fair columnist Dominick Dunne. The former California congressman sued Dunne for $11 million over remarks he made on radio suggesting that Condit had wanted Chandra Levy dead and that he was involved in her kidnapping and murder. Under the deal reported by the Fox News Channel, Dunne will pay an undisclosed amount of money to Condit and issue an apology. It also means Condit won't have to testify under oath about a sexual relationship with Levy, the Washington intern who vanished in 2001. (Page Six)
Could Donald Trump become Bill and Hillary Clinton's landlord? Real-estate brokers have been buzzing that the former White House tenants are considering a two-or three-bedroom pad at The Donald's Trump Riverside complex on the Hudson.
While no one's saying they're going to give up their Westchester County house, sources claim the ex-President is in the market for a Manhattan pied-a-terre as he recovers from heart surgery and pursues his tsunami relief work at the United Nations.
Kathy Sloane, the Brown Harris Stevens broker who handled the Clintons' home purchases in D.C. and Chappaqua, says she's been inundated with calls about it.
But, she told us, "I think this story is seriously off track."
Spokesmen for President and Sen. Clinton both called rumors that the couple have their eyes on Trump's 220 Riverside building "untrue."
A friend acknowledged, "Bill may have looked at a floor plans. He does seem to have a desire for a Manhattan place, because his office is in Harlem and he does so much speaking here."
It's not as if Trump, whose wedding to Melania Knauss the former First Couple attended, would be averse to having the Clintons move in.
"Donald's always inviting them down to Mar-a-Lago," said a Trump crony.
Despite the 1-1/2-hour shlep to the suburbs, a friend insisted, "They love Chappaqua.
"Hillary isn't about to desert her base there as she's running for re-election. Getting a place in Manhattan sends the wrong message."
Hillary is said to have spent much of last weekend at her recuperating husband's side.
"It's also the wrong time for Bill," a friend said.
"He's getting out of the hospital [after surgery]. It's been an exhausting time for him."
Brokers have often floated rumors of Clinton interest in Manhattan apartments to help sell them.
Said one real-estate maven: "Chances are someone is putting this out there for their own purposes."

President Arroyo on Tuesday justified the use of force as necessary to kill suspected Abu Sayyaf detainees who took hostage fellow inmates inside a jail building in Camp Bagong Diwa in Taguig.
The President said the rebels "had it coming."
"The terrorists got what was coming to them," she said. "The crisis team gave them all the chances to peacefully surrender."
The President issued the statement immediately after police commandos stormed the prison and were forced to kill the hostage-takers.
Seventeen suspected terrorists, including four top Abu Sayyaf leaders, were killed in the siege. Interior Secretary Angelo Reyes named four of the fatalities as Alhamzer Limbong alias Commander Kosovo, Ghalib Andang alias Commander Robot, Nadzmie Saabdullah alias Commander Global and Hafti Dais alias Ka Lando.

March 15, 2005 -- SHARON Stone and Sheryl Crow were both a little red-faced yesterday, thanks to the breast-obsessed British tabloids. The London Sun published photos of a topless Stone frolicking on the Pacific island of Bora Bora. The tab reported that still-stunning Stone, 47, hooked up with a young hunk named Francois just hours after a bitter bust-up with her former squeeze, axed CNN exec Eason Jordan. Meanwhile, the News of the World ran shots of a shirtless Crow taken while she was changing on a Malibu beach during a photo shoot. Crow, 43, who looked great wearing only a skimpy g-string, is dating cycling superstar Lance Armstrong.
March 15, 2005 -- BRUCE Willis isn't going to have a huge party to celebrate his 50th birthday on Saturday. There was talk the star would mark his half-century with a big blowout in Las Vegas, but now sources say he'll mark the milestone quietly with just his family and closest friends. Lindsay Lohan will not attend, though she is friends with Willis' eldest daughter, Rumer. Last week, we had an erroneous report that he and 18-year-old Lohan had "a gropefest" when they met for the first time after the opening of his movie, "Hostage." For the record: There was no groping. Sorry, Bruce.
