The Pete Rose Community-Service All-Stars

By PAUL GRAY/

The baseball superstar was sentenced last week to five months in prison, a $50,000 fine and 1,000 hours of community service for cheating on his taxes. Here's how some other celebrities are faring after being ordered to renew themselves through good deeds:

LEONA HELMSLEY

Appealing her tax-evasion sentence, which included 750 hours of community service, the hotel queen initially considered work at a Harlem home for drug- addicted babies. She hasn't followed up on her quiet visit there last October.

OLIVER NORTH

Before he won a reversal of one count of his conviction last week, North had been voluntarily serving a 1,200-hour sentence by working as a consultant to an alliance of Washington social-service groups, including a prison-counseling organization.

ROB LOWE

He avoided facing any criminal charges over his 1988 self-directed sex video co-starring an Atlanta teenager by agreeing to spend 20 hours speaking to inmates in his hometown of Dayton. On a trip there last September, he met with Rose.

ZSA ZSA GABOR

Ordered to do 120 hours of service at a women's shelter for slapping a Beverly Hills motorcycle cop, she tried to cut her sentence by including time spent arranging a fund-raising party. Result: the judge slapped her with 60 additional hours.
