TEEN POP And then there were three. The Backstreet Boys lost another bachelor on Saturday when Brian Littrell, 25, tied the knot with his girlfriend, Leighanne Wallace, 31. The two apparently met on the set of the 1997 video ''As Long as You Love Me,'' for which Wallace worked as an extra.... Christina Aguilera had a real bummer of a weekend. First the diva-ette had to cancel her Sunday night appearance at the New York State Fair because she lost her voice. Then, scoundrels made off with about $1,000 worth of goods -- a gym bag and some fireworks -- from her tour bus. Later, two Syracuse University students who had been partying with Aguilera's crew members were charged with larceny and burglary. Try as it might, the Mickey Mouse Club just can't prepare kids for the harsh realities of life.
LEGALESE It looks like Eminem will soon face the judge. Rolling Stone reports that a Warren County, Mich., judge ordered the platinum pop star to stand trial on charges of assault with a dangerous weapon and possession of a concealed weapon. The pop star appeared in court Thursday to waive his right to a preliminary exam, which gives prosecutors the opportunity to present evidence connecting a defendant to a crime in order to convince the judge a trial should proceed. Em supporters can be happy about at least one thing: The judge also eased his travel restrictions. This means the Slim Shady can now perform anywhere in the world, as long as he provides the court with an itinerary.
NAMES Marilyn Manson is apparently taking on some regal affectations. In the Prince tradition, he's opted to use a symbol rather than his own name on the cover of his next album, ''Holy Wood: In the Shadow of the Valley Of Death.'' According to his website, the new moniker will be the sign of Mercury, which is supposed to represent the androgyny of Adam (of Adam and Eve fame). Uh-huh. Yet another battle is won in the bitter war against the Roman alphabet.
PROPERTY Anne Heche and Ellen DeGeneres have put their country house in California on the market. According to the L.A.
