Garry Moore, who has been a Little Richard sound- and look-alike for 20 years, will "Rip It Up" when he competes with other Richard impersonators against a group of women on the syndicated game show, "Family Feud," at 11 a.m. Nov. 3 through 7. The show airs locally on KHON2.

Moore has made a living portraying the frenetic singer of such tunes as "Good Golly, Miss Molly" and "Long Tall Sally." He most recently performed in a Waikiki revue but has played clubs and showrooms all over the world.

"Feud" teams up contestants who win cash when they guess answers to survey questions posed to 100 people.

"Garry is such a great performer as Little Richard," said John O'Hurley, show host. "Let's see how his performance goes over when he tries to come up with the answers here on the 'Feud.' "

REEVES-PAPARAZZI TRIAL UNDER WAY

LOS ANGELES — Just like in "The Matrix," jurors in a civil trial featuring Keanu Reeves may have to wade through several versions of reality.

A jury was selected yesterday to hear the case, which stems from a March 2007 incident in which a paparazzo claims he was seriously injured while shooting photos of Reeves driving his Porsche.

A lawyer for Alison Silva contends Reeves struck the photographer with his car, causing him to fall to the ground. But Reeves' attorney, Alfred Gerisch, told the panel that Silva repeatedly changed his story depending on whether he was talking to paramedics, a deputy or doctors.

Reeves, the star of action flicks such as "Speed" and the upcoming remake of "The Day the Earth Stood Still," sat quietly in the courtroom. He spoke to jurors only once yesterday to wish them "good morning."

The actor is expected to testify today about his recollection of the incident.

JANET TOUR LOSES OPENER LL COOL J

NEW YORK — In another setback on her "Rock Witchu" tour, Janet Jackson has lost her opening act: LL Cool J.

The rapper's publicity firm announced yesterday that he has dropped out as the headliner for Jackson because of unnamed scheduling conflicts.

It's the latest problem on Jackson's tour, her first North American outing in seven years. The 42-year-old singer had to cancel a string of earlier concerts due to a bout of migraine-associated vertigo.

Jackson's upcoming shows are tonight in Auburn Hills, Mich., and Saturday in New York. She is expected to announce more dates.

HOUGH TO HAVE APPENDIX OUT

LOS ANGELES — The pain that sent Julianne Hough from "Dancing with the Stars" to the hospital turned out to be more serious than a stomachache.

The 20-year-old professional dancer has been diagnosed with endometriosis, a common condition in which tissue from the uterus lining grows outside the uterus, causing painful cysts and possible infertility. Hough will undergo minor surgery to remove her appendix, according to a statement on her Web site yesterday.

"Hough will address the surgery on Monday night's 'Dancing with the Stars,' where she'll perform with celebrity partner Cody Linley," the statement read.
