(FORTUNE Magazine) – Who can foretell what kind of SEC chief Bill Donaldson (above) will make? His old DLJ partner Dick Jenrette, apparently. Jenrette detailed his own reliance on sun signs and color tests in his 1997 tome, Jenrette: The Contrarian Manager. "I once administered the color-chart test to Bill Donaldson," one section reads. His "top two colors were green and red," indicating "excellent business aptitude." Less auspicious: Donaldson is a Gemini. "All my Gemini friends, such as Bill Donaldson ... like to play Hamlet," writes Jenrette, referring to the indecisive Dane. Jenrette notes Donaldson's favorite phrase was "Let's sleep on it." How Zen--an improvement over Harvey Pitt already.... The Prime Minister of New Zealand, Helen Clark, was in New York recently and hosted a private screening for New Line Cinema's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (New Line, like FORTUNE, is owned by AOL Time Warner). She's trying to drum up investments for her "clean and green" isle, where the trilogy was shot. She told us she even paid a visit to Larry Ellison's yacht to try to get the Oracle chief (who's toyed with the idea of setting up a bachelor pad in N.Z.) to invest in an Oracle R&D satellite office. Larry's thinking it over.... Speaking of real estate, if you're on the hunt for prime Manhattan property, two listings are going up soon: Jean-Marie Messier's $17.5 million Park Avenue duplex and Dennis Kozlowski's $16.8 million spread on Fifth Avenue. The Vivendi people will confirm only that they are "in the process of selecting a broker." But Tyco really wants to wash that man right outta its hair--it's even selling the flat's $11 million worth of furniture. Asks a spokesperson (begging for anonymity):

"Wanna buy a shower curtain?"
