David Letterman believes his alma mater should name its football stadium 
after him, even if he doesn't pay a dime for the honor. 

``What could be more fun, on a crisp autumn Indiana afternoon, to load the 
family and get the picnic and have a little tailgate party out there in the 
parking lot of majestic Dave Letterman Stadium?'' the 1969 graduate asked 
his television audience Wednesday. 

University officials said they enjoyed the attention from Letterman, but they 
have no immediate plans to grant his wish unless he's willing to pay up to 
$6 million - about half the cost of the new stadium. 

``There will be no money changing hands,'' Letterman said. ``The reason I 
don't need to give Ball State University money is each and every night, 
especially during football season, I'm giving them a million dollars in 
free exposure.''

Where's Jenna?

Trust-fund terror Brandon Davis - the former model who allegedly romanced 
presidential party girl Jenna Bush - is back in rehab. Davis fell off the 
wagon at a Playboy Mansion party earlier last month, where he drank 
margaritas, vodka and beer, and snorted cocaine, Star magazine reports.
 
"I certainly went out with a bang," Davis, the grandson of ex-20th Century 
Fox mogul Marvin Davis, admits to the tab. "It was a wild night." The tab 
says Brandon's mom put him on the family's private jet to Minnesota's 
Hazelden clinic for a two-month stay. "I want to be sober," Davis tells the 
Star. "It was getting bad. I was originally going to be here for 28 days, 
but my family wants me to stay on another 30 days. But I'm not blaming Jenna 
for this situation." 

Meanwhile, the National Enquirer recently reported underage Jenna and six 
girlfriends guzzling Bloody Marys at a hotel in La Jolla, Calif. But the 
manager told a San Diego paper, "no one, to my knowledge, saw her drinking 
any alcohol."

For more, Bad Influence? 


The article in 'Star Magazine' (Rupert owned) is on page 22...
it says that Brandon Davis really fell off the wagon (as Dick Cheney would 
phrase it "big time"), on Aug. 4th, at Hefner's Playboy mansion.  

Two paragraphs later, "Days later, after completing her summer internship at 
Brillstein Grey, a top Beverly Hills entertainment company, Jenna, 19, flew 
home to Texas."


Now, her parents were in Crawford for most of August, as we've all had no 
choice in hearing --- yet, never was there any mention of the 'twins' 
visiting their parents over the course of the month...

Still, the article says Jenna "flew home to Texas"
I gotta ask, where is Jenna's home?

A dorm?  
An apartment?  

It sure as hell ain't Crawford.

New Web Site!

"In the Kitchen with Bartcop and Friends" is an electronic recipe file. 
These pages will attempt to catalog the best recipes from Bartcop and his 
readers. 

This idea was spawned by Bartcop's excellent Train Station Chicken 
recipe -- if you haven't tried it, you must! It's foolproof, perfect fried 
chicken.

We need more recipes like that; the dish that you always make for family 
gatherings, the one thing people rave about and demand you make for them. 
Please email them to recipes@pdxnet.net and I will review them and post 
them. Don't worry about the HTML, just send me text, or rich text, or a Word 
document, photos, video, whatever you have, and I'll take care of making it 
web-ready. Don't hesitate to write with any questions you may have and bring 
on the recipes!

Britney Spears is planning something beastly for MTV's Video Music Awards. Pop's 
teen queen will debut her new single, "Slave 4 U," at Thursday's big event at 
Lincoln Center, and although details of the performance are under wraps, this 
much is certain: She'll be out there with a bunch of animals. 

Anyone who saw last year's VMAs knows that Spears and Rage Against the 
Machine's Tim C. - who climbed the scaffolding behind one of the presenters' 
podiums and had to be lured down by security - almost single-handedly made 
the event worth watching. 

This year, MTV has its fingers crossed that host Jamie Foxx will help make the 
VMAs must-see TV. 

The network is also counting on a disparate lineup of performers to keep the 
night going, including Missy Elliot, a three-time nominee for her kinetic 
"Get Ur Freak On"; and Best New Artist nominee Alicia Keys. 

MTV vets U2, nominated for Best Group Video for "Elevation Remix," will play a 
medley of hits. And *NSYNC is working up a re-creation of its candy-colored 
VMA nominee, "Pop." 

The producers have also reserved stage time for two rock/metal bands that have 
been in heavy rotation on the music channel but are still striving for 
mainstream saturation: Best Rock Video nominees Linkin Park and Staind. 

But the most unusual presenter has got to be actor Christopher Walken. The 
"Deer Hunter" star danced and even smiled his way through Fatboy Slim's 
"Weapon of Choice," which is up for nine awards, tops among nominees.

Former sticks-and-bones model Twiggy now says she hated the way she looked 
when she was the '60s equivalent of waifish Kate Moss. "I had a flat chest 
and skinny legs," she recalls. But she couldn't say no to the people who 
created her image. Now she says she only started enjoying life when she 
passed 35. "I've finally got the confidence to be myself," says the nicely 
rounded matron.

Actress and ex-lesbian Anne Heche has married a cameraman she met while 
working on a documentary about her ex-girlfriend Ellen DeGeneres, Heche's 
publicist said. 

Heche, 32, and Coleman Laffoon, 27, were married Saturday in a ceremony 
attended by 75 friends and family members, publicist Brad Cafarelli said 
Sunday. The ceremony was held at a villa near downtown Los Angeles. 

Heche and Laffoon met while working on a documentary about DeGeneres' return 
to stand-up comedy after the cancellation of ``Ellen,'' her ABC sitcom. 

Heche has starred in such films as ``Six Days, Seven Nights'' and ``Wag the 
Dog.'' She appears in the forthcoming film ``John Q'' and is developing a 
TV series for Warner Bros., Cafarelli said.

Britney Spears somehow forgot to tell her parents that she and boyfriend 
Justin Timberlake bought a new $3 million L.A. home together until a little 
while after the fact. Oops! 

Now that they're cohabiting, Britney claims she's still a virgin but close 
proximity makes it more of a challenge. And that's as far as she'll go with 
the sex talk. 

"It's personal," she tells YM. "The press will ask me things like how far 
I've gone or what's the worst thing I've done sexually. I'm not going to 
go there."

Spears does admit a bad-girl move to the magazine: She owns a fake ID.

In Memory

Jack O. Bennett, an American civilian pilot who became a hero of the Berlin 
Airlift, has died. He was 86. 

Bennett, credited with making the airlift's first flight in a plane loaded 
with potatoes, died on Aug. 26. His family did not provide cause or place of 
death. 

Berlin's city government and the Berliner Morgenpost credited him with making 
the first flight of the Berlin Airlift in June 1948, flying to the city in a 
Douglas DC-4. 

Bennett, who lived in Berlin, continued flying to and from the city for Pan Am 
until 1974. He later wrote a book, "40,000 Hours in the Sky," based on his 
experiences.

Troy Donahue, a heartthrob actor who climbed to stardom in the 1950s with his 
role in ``A Summer Place,'' only to fade into obscurity later, has died, his 
publicist said Sunday. He was 65.

His debut in the 1957 film ``Man Afraid'' was followed by another half-dozen 
films before Donahue signed with Warner Bros. and starred as Sandra Dee's young 
lover in ``Summer Place'' in 1959.

He soon became a teenage heartthrob, appearing in such films as 
``Parrish'' (1961), ``Rome Adventure'' (1962) and ``My Blood Runs Cold'' (1964).

Around the same time, he also enjoyed success on the small screen, appearing 
on ``Surfside 6'' (1960-62) and ``Hawaiian Eye'' (1962-63).

By the late 1980s, Donahue was appearing in mostly low-budget movies like 
``Bad Blood'' (1989), ``Assault of the Party Nerds'' (1989) and 
``Cry-Baby'' (1990).

He is survived by a son and a daughter and by his longtime companion and 
fiancee, Zheng Cao, an opera singer, Palmer said.
