KCET Running in the Red: In a letter mailed to subscribers last week, KCET-TV Channel 28 warns that it will finish the fiscal year $1.8 million in the red unless that much money is raised this month. The letter, signed by Chief Operating Officer Donald G. Youpa, offers no explanation for why the Los Angeles public-TV station is running behind budget, but says “some programs could disappear in the year ahead” if the shortfall continues and asks subscribers to make an “additional contribution.” KCET executives could not immediately be reached Monday to provide details.

ART

Paradise for Sale: One of Paul Gauguin’s most famous Tahitian landscapes is to be sold in London, and auctioneers said Monday they expected it to fetch more than $7.95 million. “Works from Gauguin’s Tahitian period are of great rarity and it is a wonderful opportunity for collectors when one appears at auction,” Sotheby’s specialist Melanie Clore said. The painting “Tahitiennes pres d’un Ruisseau” (Tahitian Women Near a Stream) was painted in 1893 on Gauguin’s first visit to the lush Pacific island. The painting, owned by a private French collector, will be offered for sale June 27.

Former child actor Corey Feldman, saying he has overcome drug troubles, has signed for roles on both small and large screens. The 23-year-old Reseda-born actor has inked for “Dweebs,” a CBS fall sitcom set in a computer company. He also has a starring role in Universal’s newest “Tales From the Crypt” film, “Bordello of Blood.” Said Feldman: “It’s just great to be back.”. . . Garrison Keillor arrived at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church in San Francisco to find a “Lutherans in Bondage” announcement on the bulletin board and the “Lutheran Lounge Lizards” singing backup to the hymns. The host of public radio’s “A Prairie Home Companion” was helping raise money for 100-year-old St. Mark’s, which needs $5 million to repair 1989 earthquake damage. “It’s like confronting a whole new theology,” Keillor told his radio audience Saturday. “We’re never sure what you’ve done with the choral tradition out here.”. . . Lynn Redgrave told about 200 graduates of Centre College in Danville, Ky., on Sunday how her career began to decline when she sued studio officials, claiming they fired her because she wanted to arrange for child care in her dressing room. “There were people who asked why I didn’t just drop the suit and get on with life, and my answer was: ‘But this is life--life is your family, life is your work, and life is also about standing up to say, no, I will not allow an injustice to go on.’ ” Redgrave’s 14-year-old daughter, Kelly Clark, accompanied her to the commencement Sunday. . . . Big changes are afoot for NBC’s “Saturday Night Live’s” fall lineup, both in front of and behind the scenes, sources say.
