Terrorism Fears: Producers of an upcoming Harrison Ford film, “The Age of Aquarius,” have canceled a three-week shoot in Israel, reportedly because of fears of terrorism. Zvi Spielman, the head of Israel’s Israfilm production company, said that producer Branco Lustig told him the decision was made after eight people died in a suicide bombing in Jerusalem earlier this month. Spielman said Lustig--who could not be reached for comment--could not obtain war-risk insurance and was worried about safety on the set.

Slater Enters Plea: Christian Slater’s lawyer entered a not-guilty plea for the actor Tuesday to misdemeanor battery, resisting arrest and drug charges stemming from a much-publicized Westside brawl last month. The attorney would not say whether Slater, who was not in court, was in drug rehab, saying only: “He’s doing really well. . . . He is in a place where he needs to be right now.” Trial was set for Dec. 2 in West L.A. Municipal Court.

POP/ROCK

Pin Drops for Stones: Callers who phoned a toll-free Sprint number set up to sell advance tickets to the Rolling Stones’ Nov. 9 show at Dodger Stadium were misinformed when told that the group would also play Nov. 10 at the stadium and Nov. 13 at the Hollywood Palladium, a spokesman for the promoter Avalon Attractions said Tuesday. The spokesman said only the Nov. 9 date has been confirmed; however, the band has added second shows in several major markets and sources have said that the group may also play a small L.A. club show. Tickets for the Nov. 9 show, with the Wallflowers opening, are $62.50 and $39.50 and go on sale through traditional outlets Sept. 27, but are available now to Sprint customers. The long-distance phone service is sponsoring the Stones’ “Bridges to Babylon” tour, which kicks off Tuesday in Chicago. Among the planned opening acts, sources say, is Pearl Jam, which is said to be opening Nov. 14 at Oakland Coliseum.

TELEVISION

Back on Camera: Former “Airwolf” star Jan-Michael Vincent is back at work, taping a guest appearance this week on CBS’ “Nash Bridges” in which he plays Don Johnson’s long-lost brother. “Doctors told me chances were a million to one that I’d ever work again,” said Vincent, who suffered a broken neck in an August 1996 car crash in Mission Viejo. Vincent, who pleaded guilty to drunk driving after the crash, recently sued the paramedics who treated him at the accident scene, claiming they damaged his vocal cords by placing a breathing tube in his throat.
