Monday Peach Buzz:
Jane dons jammies for charity
By RICHARD L. ELDREDGE

Fonda presided over a sleep-over party at a mansion in Duluth (formerly owned by ex-Atlanta Falcon Chris Chandler and his wife, Diane) with the 22 women who ponied up a grand apiece in exchange for an opportunity to share some girl-talk time with the activist-actress. The money was raised at the G-CAPP fund-raising premiere of "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" in June. Among those present were Atlanta publicist Meg Reggie, Star 94 radio's Vikki Locke, TV reporter Karyn Greer and Atlanta jeweler Molly Mednikow, who went all out for the occasion. She arrived with props and a makeup artist to transform her into a geisha for the evening, complete with black wig and white pancake makeup.

Fonda, meanwhile, dropped a small bombshell on Buzz -- that she intends to resume an acting career. "I'm just like anyone else who thought her retirement was set until the bottom fell out of the market this year," said Fonda, who's amicably divorced from media mogul Ted Turner. "I need to work again."

In fact, she has already pinpointed the role she'd like to play. But she wouldn't go on record with specifics because the deal isn't sealed. (Buzz, however, has consistently heard in the past few months that Fonda is hungry to play the cancer-riddled protagonist in a big-screen treatment of Susan Minot's novel "Evening.") "I want my return to acting to be a walk-on appearance on a really hot [cable] TV show," Fonda said. "And I want to play myself."

Watershed chef Scott Peacock was busy in the kitchen, whipping up batches of his trademark fried chicken, greens, sweet potatoes and banana pudding for the crowd.

Naturally, if you can afford to toss out a thousand dollars for a slumber party, the elaborate environs of the Chandler estate may come off like a Barbie townhouse compared with your digs. According to reports from within the Chandler mansion walls (which apparently are equipped with both ears and access to e-mail), at one point in the evening, one guest looked around disappointedly and sniffed, "This house isn't that big."
