Beauty and the Beach

The Hamptons Model Celebrity Beach Games makes its debut this summer

The Scene: The First Annual Hamptons Model Celebrity Beach Games, a cross between Battle of the Network Stars and a Summer Olympics for the Impossibly Beautiful, held in Montauk, N.Y.

The Dope: Few stars actually got athletic. ''The water is freezing here, isn't it?'' asked ex-Baywatch star Nicole Eggert.

The Events: The models faced off by agency in such events as swimming, kayaking, volleyball, and tug-of-war but seemed more concerned about their tans.

Best Distressed: MTV talk-show host Jon Stewart's T-shirt said ''Eat Poo.'' ''Somehow I don't think it will impress a Brazilian model,'' he admitted.

Video Stare: Oliver Stone gave the models the more-than-once-over through a camcorder. ''It's a babefest,'' he pronounced.

Send Her In, Coach: MTV VJ Kennedy declared herself game for one event — ''the hosing down of [Versace model] Marcus Schenkenberg with a tub of Lubriderm.''

Future Hype: ''Tokyo is bidding for the 1998 games,'' said Stewart, ''but I don't think they have the facilities. They have the cameras.''
