· A few fans of Christopher Paolini 's new book, "Eldest," are in for a surprise deep into the story. A rep for the fantasy novel's publisher, Random House, confirmed yesterday that 1 percent of the million books printed are missing more than 30 pages. Instead, the young-adult novels have pages from another Random House book, "Inkspell," by Cornelia Funke . "It was a minor printing and binding error," the rep said. "It can happen." The publishing giant plans to ship replacement copies at no extra cost to confused customers. Oops!

· Nothing like getting a leg up on the competition. Not only did tennis phenom Maria Sharapova rise in the ranks from 324 to No. 1 in three years, she also shot up a few inches. The 6-foot-2 star told Time magazine she's not quite sure what to make of her stature: "If I wear heels, I'm like 6 foot 4 inches. It's a little too tall."
