Dave's Guest On Tuesday
John Ashcroft
Singer, songwriter and Attorney General John Ashcroft plans to spend some time with David Letterman.
Ashcroft is scheduled to tape an appearance on the CBS "Late Show" on Tuesday, CBS said.
Letterman has been poking fun at the attorney general by repeatedly showing a clip of Ashcroft singing the self-penned song, "Let the Eagles
Soar," at a visit to a North Carolina theological seminary.

Water-Cooler Show Of The Week
'The Osbournes'
It was the water-cooler question of the week: "Did you see him fall over in the chair?"
And there he was--the pioneering, bat-beheading god of heavy metal, Ozzy Osbourne, sprawled out on the floor after accidentally tumbling from a director's chair. This, during
the latest hilarious episode of MTV's smash reality hit The Osbournes.
The infatuation with Ozzy, his wife-manager Sharon and their kids, Kelly and Jack, is only growing: Tuesday night's episode of The Osbournes pulled in a whopping 7.1
million viewers, the largest audience yet for a show that's become MTV's biggest success to date. Last week, it was the fourth most-watched program on cable. And since
its debut, the 13-episode series has averaged 6 million viewers, even grabbing the attention of the New York Times. One British tabloid claimed President George W. Bush was a
fan of the show and invited the Ozzman to the White House for dinner.
If it weren't for the fact that Osbourne was once banned from Texas for urinating on the Alamo, we'd almost believe it. Still, after just a handful of episodes--which
feature the rocker fumbling with his remote control, sparring with noisy yuppie neighbors, racking his brain over dog excrement, complaining about the bubble machine
at his concert ("Bubbles?! I'm the Prince of [bleeping] Darkness!") and harassing his daughter about a gynecologist appointment--the series is garnering the kind of
critical praise usually reserved for HBO shows like The Sopranos and Six Feet Under.

Scottish Tartan Day
Sean Connery
As many as 10,000 bagpipers and drummers made a racket as they piped and pounded their way through midtown Manhattan to celebrate
Scottish Tartan Day on Saturday.
The "Tunes of Glory" parade was believed to comprise one of the biggest pipe bands ever assembled. The march was led by Scots acting star Sean
Connery and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Connery, waiting at the start of the march, laughed as crowds yelled for him to show his kilt and "pull it up!"
Tartan Day commemorates April 6, 1320, when the Scottish Parliament sent a letter to the Pope declaring Scotland's independence.

strikes. Chavez founded the UWF on his birthday on March 31, 1962. Chavez died on April 23, 1993.

Oh My God! They Really Killed Kenny
'South Park'
Oh, my God! They killed Kenny! And this time for good.
Kenny, whose death each episode in "South Park" has been a running gag since the show began in 1997, is gone for good, says creator Matt Stone.
He died unceremoniously at the end of last season, the Dec. 5 episode.
"I think a lot of people probably haven't noticed," says Stone during a telephone interview. "I couldn't care less. I am so sick of that character."
After almost 80 episodes in which he has been crushed by rocks, eaten by rats and run over by a bulldozer, Kenny died of a terminal muscular
disease in the episode, Comedy Central officials say.
For the rest, Oh My God! They Really Killed Kenny
Lifetime Achievement Award
Harry Belafonte
Actor Harry Belafonte will receive a lifetime achievement award later this month from the NAACP Detroit branch.
"Mr. Belafonte has been a great role model, possessing not only professional gifts and talents, but he also reflects the gift of social sacrifice and political
consciousness that has helped African-Americans in their struggle," said the Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People chapter.
The April 28 Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner, where the award will be given out, is part of the Detroit NAACP's Freedom Weekend celebration.

C-3PO Speaks
Anthony Daniels
The man behind everyone's favorite gold-plated protocol droid almost turned down the role of a lifetime. At a press preview for the Brooklyn Museum's
"Star Wars" exhibit yesterday, actor Anthony Daniels said the idea of playing the skittish robot C-3PO didn't appeal to him 25 years ago. "I didn't even
want to bother going on the interview with George Lucas because I hated science fiction," he told photographer Bettina Cirone. Daniels says the cast and
crew were stunned when it became an instant classic in 1977. The Brit is reprising the role for the next two prequels.

Tennessee's Top Tourist Draw
Dollywood
Dolly Parton calls it "junk," but a new exhibit of stuff the country music star has accumulated over the years could be the biggest attraction yet at Dollywood.
Welcome to Dolly's attic, the newest feature of a theme park that opened for its 17th season Friday.
The collection has everything from exercise equipment and old magazines to posters, pictures, awards and clothes, clothes, clothes.
Dollywood, Tennessee's top tourist draw outside the neighboring Great Smoky Mountains National Park, calls the new "Chasing Rainbows" exhibit a "state-of-the-art, interactive attraction
dedicated to Dolly's lifetime of dreaming." It's part of a $10 million addition to the park.

'Creative Differences'
Fat Albert
There's bad news for fans of Fat Albert--preproduction on the live-action version of Bill Cosby's beloved 'toon has been halted thanks to that
age-old Tinseltown bugaboo otherwise known as "creative differences."
In this case, it was the Cos versus the film's director, Forest Whitaker.
Cosby--who created the original 'toon, wrote the script for the Fat Albert movie with partner Charles Kipps and is executive producing the movie
with his wife, Camille--apparently took issue with Whitaker's vision for the characters, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
As a result, both men mutually agreed to nix shooting, which was slated to start later this month, and Whitaker has exited the 20th Century Fox film.

Don't Think 'Folksy' Covers It
Charles Kuralt
The daughters of the late broadcast journalist Charles Kuralt will have to pay death taxes on 90 acres his secret mistress inherited following a drawn-out trial.
District Judge Loren Tucker ruled that Kuralt's daughters by his first marriage, Susan Bowers and Lisa Bowers White, who make up Kuralt's estate, will have to pay
the taxes on the fishing retreat along the Big Hole River.
Generally death taxes are apportioned according to the value of inherited property that goes to each party, the lawyers said. But Kuralt's will stated
all death taxes should be paid by the estate "without apportionment."
Kuralt, the folksy CBS reporter who described the lives of ordinary and outstanding Americans, died in 1997.
His wife of 35 years, Suzanne "Petie" Baird Kuralt of New York City, found out her husband had been leading a double life with another woman only after his death.
