Who wants to send up the nation's most popular game show? Is it (a) the new Michael Moore-directed video for Rage Against the Machine's ''Sleep Now in the Fire''; (b) satirical website The Onion's recent article about Russia's supposed ''Who Wants to Eat a Meal?''; (c) Howard Stern's low-budget, lowbrow version, ''Who Wants to Win a Million Turkish Liras?''; (d) a new 21-minute film making the rounds in Hollywood, Being Regis Philbin? Save your lifelines: All four are Who Wants to Be a Millionaire parodies. Anthony Scarpa, director-cowriter of Being Regis, says Philbin is much more deserving of a mind invasion than John Malkovich: ''If you could go inside his brain, you could finally tell one of those idiot contestants who hog all the time to hurry the hell up.''
