'Dr. Dee'?
Dee Snider
Call him Dr. Dee Snider from now on. The motor-mouthed Twisted Sister bad boy will receive an honorary doctorate of humane letters from the New York College of Health Professions in
Syossett, L.I., at graduation tomorrow. Snider, who these days does voice-overs for Msnbc extolling the likes of Chris Matthews and Ashley Banfield, is being honored for his outspoken
criticism of rock music censorship. "It's very cool," he says. "When I spoke before Congress in the '80s it hurt me, but after the band died out, it allowed me to reinvent myself." The
busy Snider now hosts the morning "Dee Snider Radio Show" on WMRQ in Hartford and the syndicated rockfest "House of Hair." He plans to do more on-air commentaries for ABC's late-night
"World News Now," which banned him a few months back after he told an Enron joke he'd lifted from the Internet. "They were like, 'Oh, you can't do that on TV. That's plagiarism.' But
I wasn't trying to be secretive about it. I was just repeating a story. Someone over there got their panties in a bunch, but they've since asked me to come back on."

''Miss Rona'' Re-Surfaces
Rona Barrett
For 30 years, Hollywood columnist Rona Barrett dished up scoops about celebrities.
Now, the sweet smell of success has a lavender scent.
Barrett is rolling out a spa line of lavender body care products.
In limited release, the creams and facials have become strong sellers, providing an interesting second act to a storied career that redefined entertainment journalism.
Before her retirement in 1990, Barrett was well known for her Tinseltown coverage. But despite breaking exclusives like Elvis Presley's surprise wedding,
she grew tired of the grind and retired to her ranch.

Howard Stern Friday Night
Flunky vs. Junkie?
"Stuttering John Melendez, known as the Flunky because he has been answering the phone for Howard Stern for many years, won a stunning five-round unanimous decision yesterday over the heavily favored
Crazy Cabbie, dubbed the Junkie because of past drug abuse.
Fight fans were expecting a freak show, especially after famed ring announcer Michael Buffer intoned in his deep bass, Let's get ready to see two men with absolutely no talent try to beat each others' brains out!"
But the fight - between two neophytes who brought little into the ring except their deep hatred for each other - was shockingly good.
Before the bell, Stuttering John, viewing Cabbie's yellow mohawk, said, He got a tan for the fight. He's wearing hairspray. He's a disgrace to homosexuals everywhere.
Boxing philosopher Bert Sugar remarked, This event is like a marriage to Larry King. It's painful, but it's over in three hours. At 6-foot-3, Cabbie, who didn't train at all, towered over the 5-foot-7 Melendez,
who'd been conditioned by kick-boxing experts.
Stuttering John continually moved into his larger opponent, unleashing right hooks to the head, while Cabbie used his weight to put John into a headlock or push him into the ropes.
The National Anthem was sung - badly - by Reba the Co-Joined Twin, a Siamese twin co-joined at the skull, whose smaller sister sits on a bar stool with wheels.
Both fighters earned $100,000. The biggest loser was divorce lawyer Dominic Barbara, who bet on the Junkie and had to pay $30,000 to Stern alone.

Fans To Mark Last Show
Elvis
The last building that Elvis left may be gone, but some fans are doing their part to make sure it's not forgotten.
When Elvis Presley took the stage at Market Square Arena during the summer of 1977, no one knew it would be his last show.
On June 26, the 25th anniversary of that concert, a group of Presley fans will dedicate a historical marker at the site where the arena stood until it was demolished last year.
The marker will bear an inscription in bronze reading "Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has left the building" atop a granite column.
The marker will be erected on a street corner overlooking the gravel parking lot where the arena once stood. A time capsule encased within it will hold Presley memorabilia.

Favorite Movie
Claudia Schiffer
There's no place like home, and when Claudia Schiffer gets lonely, she just pops a movie into her VCR. The teutonic temptress told a reporter from London's Daily
Mail that her favorite picture is Mel Brooks' "The Producers," and she loves to sing along with the theme song, "Springtime for Hitler." Presumably Schiffer does
not dress up like the movie's chorus girls, who have large pretzels and beer mugs covering their breasts while they sing.

Open North American Tour
The Eagles
From the first unaccompanied notes of "Seven Bridges Road" to the final phrase of "Desperado" more than three hours later, it was clear the Eagles were back
and sounding as sweet as ever.
The quartet opened its first North American tour in seven years Friday, playing to a sold out crowd of more than 11,000 at Lawlor Events Center.
The Eagles will visit 29 venues in the United States and three in Canada over the next seven weeks, generally opting for small- to middle-sized markets.
Their show wastes no time on chitchat. Except for a brief greeting from Glenn Frey and band introductions, the concert is spent revisiting the group's many
hits and a few of the members' solo successes — 30 songs in all.
Prices ranged from $55 to $150 in Reno, which a Ticketmaster spokeswoman said was standard for the tour.

sign that either India or Pakistan was offering a diplomatic solution in Kashmir, concern mounted about the military conflict as the United States, Britain and other nations called on their civilians and embassy staff to leave India on Friday.

Isn't It Ironic?
(At Least) Five Millionaires
The nine Supreme Court justices are richer than all but a small percentage of Americans, with at least five millionaires among them.
The reports released Friday cover 2001.
Like many other government employees, the justices must account publicly for income beyond their salaries, and list stocks or other holdings that could potentially influence them on the job.
The justices routinely recuse themselves from cases in which they might have a financial stake. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who holds a long list of telecommunications and medical stocks,
is the most frequently absent for this reason.
The reports of the justices' holdings are vague, because assets are listed only in general categories, such as those worth up to $15,000 or those worth between $1 million and $5 million.
Several of the justices appear to have saved wisely for retirement, even though all but one of the nine are already at or past the age at which most people quit working. Thomas is the
only justice who has not yet reached his 60s.
The reports also note the numerous out-of-town, non-paid speaking engagements that most of the justices accept each year. For those, law schools or other law-related hosts pick up the
tab for the justices' travel expenses, hotel and food.

In Memory
Faye Dancer
Faye Dancer, one of the greats of the All American Girls Professional Baseball League in the 1940s, died May 22 after undergoing surgery for breast cancer. She was 77.
Dancer was the inspiration for the "All the Way Mae" character played by Madonna in the 1992 film "A League of Their Own."
For six seasons from 1944 to 1950, Dancer played center field and pitched for the Minneapolis Millerettes, Fort Wayne Daisies and Peoria Redwings.
Dancer was known for her catching, hitting and base stealing. In 1948, she stole 108 bases. She earned a starting salary of $75 a week, plus $2.50 a day for meals.
Her all-out playing style was captured in a 1948 photograph that shows her sliding into third base. It is displayed in the All American Girls Baseball League exhibit at the
National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown, N.Y.
