LOS ANGELES, January 17, 1997 ... UPN's February is the real deal when the undisputed World Heavyweight Champion Evander Holyfield makes a special guest star appearance on "In the House," NBA mogul Cedric Ceballos guests on "Sparks" and "Sparks" star Robin Givens crosses over to "Moesha" and "Moesha" star Countess Vaughn guest stars on "Goode Behavior." Nell Carter and Clarence Clemons are among the other guest stars featured on UPN series during the month.

Plus, The Borg, the notorious, dangerous and mechanically enhanced race first seen on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and most recently encountered in the motion picture "Star Trek: First Contact," push their way onto "Star Trek: Voyager" with characteristic intensity.

Capping off the month is the broadcast television premiere of Brian De Paima's critically acclaimed box-office triumph "Carlito's Way" starring Academy Award winner Al Pacino, Sean Penn and Penelope Ann Miller. Following are the highlights for February:

Guest starring as himself, World Heavyweight Champ Evander Holyfield helps Marion (LL Cool J) maximize the donations for a charity banquet on "in the House" airing MONDAY, FEBRUARY 3 (8:00-8:30 p.m. ET/PT).

During their exploration of a decimated colony, the Voyager Away Team is thrown into turmoil with the sudden onset of the Vulcan mating season. The ensuing, irrational advances of a Vulcan crew member wreak havoc when they trigger Lieutenant Torres' (Roxann Dawson) involuntary Klingon mating instincts. Meanwhile, there's a glimpse of what's to come in the next episode when Commander Chakotay spots the remains of one of the colony's invaders -- The Borg -- on "Star Trek: Voyager" airing WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET/PT).

Maxey's romantic timing couldn't be worse when he interrupts Wilma (Robin Givens) on her date with NBA superstar Cedric Ceballos of the Phoenix Suns, on "Sparks" airing MONDAY, FEBRUARY 10 (9:00-9:30 p.m., ET/PT).

Red Alert! The Borg, the notorious, immensely powerful race of mechanically enhanced humanoids first seen on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and most recently encountered on "Star Trek: First Contact," make their first, unforgettable appearance aboard Voyager and manage to manipulate Commander Chakotay into executing their plan of survival on "Star Trek: Voyager" airing WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 12 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET/PT).
