SEEN & HEARD

While driving their son Patrick to school May 1, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver were hounded by two photographers. After hitting the couple's Mercedes, the photogs shoved a 59-year-old school employee. The police began a search for the two, but last week the guerrilla lensmen turned themselves in, anticipating charges of hit and run, reckless driving and assault.

Under a law barring criminals from making money from their crimes, Mafia snitch Sammy ("the Bull") Gravano shouldn't benefit from his work with author Peter Maas on a book about life in the Mob. Publisher HarperCollins says he was not paid, but one victim's daughter thinks that's bull. Last week Laura Garofalo sued Gravano for wrongful-death damages to the tune of $50 million.

AND ONE FOR ALL

Their favorite King is dead, they're sans uniforms, and their faces are a bit battle-worn. The Three Musketeers as featured in The Man in the Iron Mask are clearly not the devil-may-care dudes on the candy-bar wrapper. But the stars of the new film based on the last book in Alexandre Dumas's trilogy find the long-in-the-tooth trio with more savoir faire. "They still have a little swash, a little buckle," says JEREMY IRONS, who plays Aramis. "But they are older and wiser." GERARD DEPARDIEU is Porthos, JOHN MALKOVICH is Athos, and GABRIEL BYRNE is D'Artagnan, their friend and captain. The film by first-time director Randall Wallace (Oscar-winning screenwriter of Braveheart) is being shot in France and also stars LEONARDO DICAPRIO as the Sun King, Louis XIV.

JUST ANOTHER SECRET MISSION: MARRIAGE

Celebrities are getting awfully good at ditching the press to get married. Gossip columnists went on nuptial red alert last week when The X-Files' DAVID DUCHOVNY (instantly recognizable despite the cheesy fake mustache) was spotted at New York City's marriage-license bureau. But the trail had gone cold by the next night, when the star wed actress TEA LEONI of NBC's The Naked Truth at lower Manhattan's Grace Church. Just a handful of family members attended the paparazzo-free ceremony. In January the two stars had begun a commuter romance between his show's set in Vancouver, B.C., and hers in Los Angeles. "We are thrilled," the sneaky groom told Daily News columnist Liz Smith. "It all worked. We are clanking rings."

ANY SUMMER TOUR PLANS?

When Utah Senator ORRIN HATCH is bored by committee hearings, he scribbles out the song in his heart. The Republican is a prolific lyricist, and the proof is on his new CD with composer Janice Kapp Perry, My God Is Love. "I'm in a lot of miserable battles in the Senate," Hatch says. "Music lifts me out of that." His melody making led to a duet with Massachusetts Senator Edward Kennedy. "We played our song Freedom's Light in the middle of negotiations on the child-health bill," says Hatch. "And Kennedy joined in. You know, he loves to sing."
