Weekend TV : Vanna, Brooke Face Off Against ‘War’; Teens Cope With Life in ‘Soapbox,’ ‘Writing’

People magazine superstars Vanna White and Brooke Shields hope to siphon off some of the audience from ABC’s ongoing mega-series “War and Remembrance” Sunday night.

White makes her acting debut as Venus, “The Goddess of Love.” This frivolous fantasy about the Greek goddess suddenly come to life in 1988 also stars Little Richard, David Leisure, David Naughton and Amanda Bearse. It airs at 9 p.m. on Channels 4, 36 and 39.

Shields stars with Howard Hesseman, Ed Marinaro and Twiggy in “The Diamond Trap” on CBS (9 p.m., Channels 2 and 8). This TV caper about a multimillion-dollar diamond heist leads the cast from New York to London and back again.

Today, teen-agers and their parents might want to check out Channel 28’s “Soapbox” (9 a.m.) and “Writing on the Wall” (6 p.m.). “Soapbox” features six high school students discussing life’s stresses, while “Writing” documents how several New Jersey teens have vented their frustration and artistic dreams through graffiti.
