'Animal' Lover

Colleen Haskell tries swimming with the sharks — the Hollywood sharks, that is

Now that Colleen Haskell (left) is swimming with real sharks — shooting the summer comedy Animal with Rob Schneider — life on Pulau Tiga doesn't seem so bad. ''Survivor was just a game,'' says the Blistex pitchwoman, 24. ''But Hollywood is very cutthroat.'' Still, the Animal set offers tasty grub, clean clothes, and shooting that breaks for medical emergencies: A studio medic actually doused a tiny scratch on her leg with iodine. Not so on Survivor, where her insect-devoured gams blistered for CBS' ratings. ''When my bites got really bad,'' she recalls, ''I asked the senior doctor what he could do and he said, 'Tomorrow I'll bring a camera.'''
