'3 Stooges' On AMC
Last night I watched the Three Stooges on AMC. The episode was made in
1938. The plot went as follows: Two political thugs (Karl Rove and a male
version of Karen Hughes) needed three more delegates to get their
candidate - Hammond Eggers - nominated at the Presidential convention. If
their candidate could be nominated and then if he won the general election
they could - get this - and I quote - "CORNER THE OIL MARKET." Into the
campaign headquarters walk three janitors - Larry , Moe and Curly.
Since the Karl Rove characters thinks the Stooges can be bought off and then will
do as they're told he selects them as delegates to the convention. After
the 67th ballot, the vote for the nomination is tied. The Stooges realize
that Eggers is a corrupt idiot and cast their vote for the other guy. When
Rove and Hughes come after them the Stooges knock them out and dunk them in
the bath tub. On TV at least the good guys win!
Stooges II - The Stooges run into a beautiful rich woman outside of her
Mansion. She invites them in saying, ''Last one in is a Republican.''

Thanks, doppliger. Stooges rule in this household! They were among the hardest working guys
in the business, and all honorable men.
Way back in the early 70's, I was fortunate to be in a 'work/study' program at what was then
The Burbank Studios, and somehow luckier still to be placed in the office of Bob Hagel,
another honorable man, who, at the time, was the top dog on the lot. The Burbank Studios were what resulted when Columbia, Screen
Gems & Warner Brothers combined their backlots.
They still had a lot of props from the Stooges around. Felt like I was in the presence of holy relics.

In The Chaos Household
Last Night
Watched part of '60 Minutes II' on CBS, mostly for the story on the cancer cluster in
Fallon, NV, and surfed to Dick Clark's 'American Music Awards' a lot, too.
As the evening progressed, was amused to be watching dueling Michael Jackson reruns.
Hadn't watched his self-congratulatory special the first time, and compared to Dick Clark's show,
at least Dick Clark understands & appreciates the need for a competent director. Sorry,
but the Michael Jackson Special was damn-near unwatchable from a 'master-control' point of view.
Have seen a few mentions of Carson Daly's major faux pas on Monday. The most interesting
one had to do with Conan O'Brien, who usually doesn't work on Monday, came in & did a
fresh show, just a lead-in to the new show...and there was NO new show....
Tonight, Thursday, CBS hopes to hit the motherlode of ratings with the 2 hour grand finale
of 'Survivor: Africa', followed by an hour special of the 'contestants' shooting the shit.
NBC has a fresh 'Friends', followed by a rerun 'Will & Grace', then a fresh
'Will & Grace', a fresh 'Just Shoot Me', and a fresh 'ER'.
ABC devotes the entire evening to Figure Skating...ewwwwwww.
The WB has 2 hours of reruns - 'Angel' and 'Charmed'.
Faux has 2 hours of reruns - 4 episodes of 'Family Guy'.
AMC has the Adam West version of 'Batman', as well as 'Catch-22' (help the bombadier).
TCM has a couple of Marlene Dietrich classics, 'Destry Rides Again' & 'Rancho Notorious'.
Either will shed light on Madeline Kahn's inspired performance in 'Blazing Saddles'.

Impending Nuptials
Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale
Gwen Stefani is no longer "just a girl." She's just a girl with a big ring on her finger.
The No Doubt singer, who recorded a song called "Marry Me" for the band's last album, is apparenly getting her wish--her
longtime beau Gavin Rossdale has finally proposed.
Rossdale, frontman of the British post-Nirvana grunge band Bush, popped the question on New Year's morning and, according
to a statement from Interscope Records, Stefani "happily accepted."
The two will set a date later this year, the label says.
While Stefani and Rossdale have been making beautiful music together for about six years, splitting time between her Hollywood
Hills home and Rossdale's London digs when not touring with their respective bands, they had always dodged the "M" word.
Stefani seemingly prefers to keep Rossdale in her spiderweb. In the latest issue of Jane magazine, she discussed the temptation
all rockers, including her beau, face from groupies. "I'm in a band, and I know who those girls are," she says. "I know exactly
what goes on backstage.
"I [wish I] had a little leash to walk him around."
This will be the first marriage for both.

Readying A Spinoff
``CSI: Crime Scene Investigation''
The evidence is in: CBS is readying a spinoff of its smash crime drama ``CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.''
Series creator Anthony Zuiker and fellow executive producers Ann Donahue and Carol Mendolsohn are preparing a
special spinoff episode of the Thursday-night thriller to air later this season. It will take the existing
``CSI'' team to another city to explore a case. There, the sleuths will meet up with some of the characters
for the potential new series.
It's unlikely any of the original show's major stars would end up on the spinoff, though ``CSI'' lead William
Petersen -- who also serves as a producer of his show -- would likely have a similar credit on the spinoff.

'Shagging' Video A Hoax
Mick Jagger
The story that a video has surfaced of Mick Jagger "shagging" a female fan is a hoax. The Rolling Stone's lawyers
issued a statement yesterday saying: "It has come to our attention from certain newspapers in the U.K. that a
Harry Lime Esq. of Harry Lime Management is attempting to sell photos and possibly video footage which purports
to be of our client for substantial sums of money. We can categorically state that the person shown in this material
is not Mick Jagger."
Harry Lime was the name of the black marketeer played by Orson Welles in "The Third Man."

A Muse By Another Name?
Aaron Sorkin
Aaron Sorkin prides himself on the research that goes into his NBC series, "The West Wing." And his
episodes about a call girl during the program's first season in 1999 were no exception, says a woman
who claims the writer paid her for sex for nearly two years.
Dimitra Ekmektsis, 35, alleges she met Sorkin in 1990 when she worked for a New York escort service and he was
a customer. At the time, he was 29 and enjoying the success of his hit Broadway play, "A Few Good Men." Ekmektsis
tells us she'd visit his upper West Side apartment "almost weekly."
"It was very formal," she says. "When I got there, he'd give me $2,000. I might arrive at midnight and
leave the next morning."
Ekmektsis says she liked Sorkin because "he treated me like a normal person. It wasn't like, 'Take off your clothes.'
He wasn't always trying to have sex. He was very shy. We'd talk for hours on end. We'd watch movies.
Sometimes I'd sit and read a book."
She says they smoked pot almost every time and sometimes did cocaine. (Sorkin plead guilty in June to
drug-possession charges and is in an 18-month, court-supervised rehab program.)
Not long after meeting Sorkin, Ekmektsis says, she kissed off her other customers.
She says she last saw Sorkin in the summer of '92. After that, he headed to L.A. to work on film scripts.
Until last fall, Ekmektsis says, she kept up a frisky e-mail correspondence with Sorkin despite his marriage
to Julia Bingham in 1996 (they separated last summer).
Ekmektsis says Sorkin confided that she was the inspiration for his "West Wing" prostitute Britney, who slept
with Sam Seaborn, Rob Lowe's character in the White House drama. Sorkin has insisted to others that Britney
sprang from his imagination.

Spin Magazine's '50 Greatest Bands'
#1-Beatles, #2-Ramones
The music magazine Spin named the 50 greatest bands on Wednesday in a list guaranteed to spark debate among
rock fans over whether The Ramones are better than Led Zeppelin or why Husker Du is ranked higher than Pink Floyd.
The only non-controversial listing would appear to be The Beatles at No. 1. After that, there is sure to be disagreement.
According to Spin editors, New York punk pioneers The Ramones are second to the Fab Four, with Led Zeppelin
third. Reggae king Bob Marley and the Wailers are rated fourth greatest and Seattle grungers Nirvana round out the top five.
The criteria for the 50 greatest were that ``these groups had to have a roof-raising, history-changing sound,
presence or hairstyle.'' In addition, ``they also had to clearly influence today's music in undeniable ways''
and ``had to be bands that we care about deeply.''
That might explain why acclaimed bands like U2 (13th greatest), The Grateful Dead (27th), The Who (39th),
The Beach Boys (45th) and Pink Floyd (49th) are rated lower in the Top 50 than lesser known but arguably
more influential groups like The Smiths (21st), Pavement (30th), Fugazi (31st) or New Order (41st).
Spin's Top 10 is completed by Parliament/Funkadelic at No. 6, followed by The Clash, Public Enemy, The Rolling
Stones and Beastie Boys.
The list is perhaps more telling in who was left off, including some arguably more influential bands like
Steely Dan, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.

Enlightening Opinion Piece
Media's Patriotism Provides a Shield for Bush
By Joan Konner
Joan Konner is professor and dean emerita at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.
A CURTAIN of prescribed patriotism has dropped over our TV news screens, obscuring all but the most ratings-driven stories.
That sounds mighty like business as usual, as if the war on terrorism were the O.J. trial, the Monica/impeachment
process or the travails of Gary Condit. Even the barely readable and often dissonant crawl of "other news" (Paula
Jones remarries in Little Rock as bombs fall on Kabul) across the bottom of our screens is not reporting what's going
on backstage of the red- white-and-blue curtain of war and national unity.
Three media-related factors are converging to produce the gap-toothed smile of self-satisfaction we now see on the
screen. First, the ratings climb of Fox News, a blatantly biased, conservative news service that is challenging the
long-time supremacy of the more balanced news networks. Fox News is gaining viewers and, consequently, ground in the
all-important revenue race....

2 Years Probation
Yasmine Bleeth
Former ``Baywatch'' star Yasmine Bleeth was sentenced Wednesday to two years probation on a cocaine-possession charge.
The actress also must undergo regular drug tests, serve 100 hours of community service and pay court costs, said
Christopher Coyle, a deputy chief trial attorney for the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office.
As part of an agreement with the prosecutor's office, Bleeth pleaded guilty in November to possessing less than
25 grams of a controlled substance, cocaine, and to driving while impaired. Another possession charge was dismissed
as part of the agreement.
Bleeth, 33, spent the night in jail in Romulus, near Detroit Metropolitan Airport, after patrol officers found
what they suspected was cocaine in her purse during their investigation of a car accident on Sept. 12. Charges
also came from a search of Bleeth's hotel room.
Bleeth, who lives in Los Angeles, has appeared in the Don Johnson police series ``Nash Bridges.'' She also
co-starred in ``Titans,'' a nighttime soap that was canceled in December 2000 because of low ratings.

This Week's National Enquirer
''Jerry Falwell Gay Scandal''
His university is buzzing as young pastor resigns
A homosexual scandal is rocking Rev. Jerry Falwell's archconservative Liberty University, where rumors are rampant that male
students engaged in gay sex with a campus pastor.
Scrambling to do damage control, Falwell — an outspoken foe of homosexuality — slammed a news lid on his Lynchburg, Va., campus.
When an ENQUIRER reporter contacted the university to ask about the sudden resignation of Eric Lovett, 29, assistant pastor
in Liberty's spiritual life department, Falwell himself called back within minutes.
"While I have heard rumors, I myself have no knowledge, no personal knowledge, of any gay movement," said the 68-year-old preacher.
What elevates the scandal to national importance is Falwell's prominent platform — which he uses at times to
assault the homosexual lifestyle and gay leadership.
Two days after the emotionally devastating September 11 tragedies, the evangelist joined religious broadcaster
Pat Robertson in stating that pagans, homosexuals, abortionists and feminists were partly to blame for the
attacks — because they offended God who allowed America's enemies "to give us probably what we deserve."

Anything Goes at Show on Bodily Functions
''Grossology''
Burping, barfing and body odor.
Nothing is off limits at the ``Grossology'' exhibition in Singapore which gets up close and personal with
the slimy, smelly science of the human body.
The squeaky-clean city state, which has long barred spitting and enforced fines for not flushing toilets, is
the first foreign country to put on the show apart from Canada, where it was created five years ago.
The show was brought in to help people understand and perhaps better manage their bodily functions, said Chew
Tuan Tiong, chief executive of the Singapore Science Centre, which is hosting it.
Children can climb up a rubbery wall of simulated skin to explore warts and pimples. A cave-like walk-through
nose sniffs and sneezes on the unfortunate passerby.
One liter of saliva is pumped into the mouth every day. Nostrils take turns inhaling and acid in the stomach is
strong enough to dissolve razor blades.
Children squealed in delight at the exhibits but adults long taught to regard the intimate workings of the body
as impolite seemed to get the most out of the show.

Cutting 80 Full-Time Jobs
Alliance Atlantis
Alliance Atlantis Communications Corp. said on Wednesday it will cut 80 full-time jobs, or around 9 percent of its
staff, as part of its plan to scale back film and television production.
The Toronto-based firm, which co-produces the hit CBS series ``CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,'' said it expects
the job cuts and restructuring to save at least C$7 million ($4.4 million) in operating costs, starting in fiscal 2003.
Under the restructuring, Alliance will consolidate television production and distribution and in-house movie
production operations in a new entertainment group. The group will operate alongside Alliance's broadcasting
and movie distribution divisions.
But despite the recent success of ``CSI: Crime Scene Investigation'', the company's management decided to focus
on its higher margin broadcasting operations in Canada. These include specialty channels such Showcase, Life Network,
History Television, HGTV and Food Network Canada.

Divorce News
Juanita & Michael
Michael Jordan's wife of 12 years has filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences with the basketball superstar
and seeking custody of their three children.
Published reports in Chicago said Juanita Jordan, 42, filed a petition last week in Lake County Circuit Court, located
north of Chicago where the couple maintain a home in the town of Highland Park.
Mrs. Jordan cited ``irreconcilable differences'' with Jordan, 38. She was also reported seeking permanent custody of
the couple's three children, their 25,000-square-foot home and half of the couple's property.
Jordan earned more than $30 million in his final season with the Chicago Bulls in 1997-1998 and earns millions more in
product endorsements. Last year, Jordan was listed 13th on a Fortune magazine list of the nation's richest people
under 40, worth an estimated $398 million.

U.K. Coalition of People Living with HIV and AIDS Hero Award
Elton John
Honored for his efforts to help those living with AIDS and HIV, Elton John said he was fortunate not to have contracted the disease.
``As a gay man I'm very lucky not to be infected,'' he told ITV News Wednesday. ``My concern nowadays is that young
people think they are invulnerable, but they're not.''
John was interviewed after the U.K. Coalition of People Living with HIV and AIDS gave him its Hero Award Wednesday
night. The honor acknowledged his contributions to the fight against HIV and AIDS through the Elton John AIDS Foundation.
John said he'd decided to get involved in fighting the disease after the 1990 death of 18-year-old Ryan White in Indiana.
``It was a time in my life when I wasn't behaving very well,'' the musician said. ``I played at his funeral and I looked
like a 90-year-old man. That was when I decided to clean up my act.''

No Racketeering, Only A Misdemeanor Tax Charge
Marion ``Suge'' Knight
A federal racketeering probe of rap music chief Marion ``Suge'' Knight and Death Row Records has ended with
the filing of a misdemeanor tax charge against the company.
Under an agreement filed Tuesday in federal court, Death Row would plead guilty to failing to submit an income
tax return, pay a $100,000 fine and reimburse the government an unspecified amount of unpaid taxes.
On Monday the U.S. attorney's office gave a one-page letter to Knight's lawyer stating that no charges would be
filed against Knight, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.
Court documents showed Death Row failed to pay taxes on $825,716 in income generated between Dec. 1, 1995, and
Nov. 30, 1996. Knight blamed a former accountant, whose firm paid an $8 million settlement to Death Row after
a lengthy legal battle.
Knight's father, Marion Knight Sr., pleaded guilty Tuesday to the tax offense, according to the court filing.
He could be placed on five years probation because he's an officer of Death Row.

Nelly Furtado is miffed about a midriff.
The Canadian singer has complained that a photo of her on the cover of British men's magazine FHM was digitally

``There I am with a shirt that has actually been digitally altered to go to just below my chest, with a stomach
that I don't recognize, saying 'Nelly Furtado - her sexiest shoot yet,''' the singer told British Broadcasting Corp. radio on Monday.
``I don't like being misrepresented to my fans. You work hard to represent a certain thing and have a certain
image and somebody can take it all away with the cover of a magazine.''
Magazine spokespeople had no comment Wednesday.

Lawrence Schiller
Author-journalist Lawrence Schiller, who recently brought his books about the O.J. Simpson murder trial and the JonBenet
Ramsey case to television, said on Wednesday he is working on a new CBS TV movie about the Sept. 11 attacks on America.
The 90-minute movie, set to run two hours including commercials, is one of at least three TV productions reportedly in
development that explore events as they unfolded when suicide hijackers crashed two airliners into the World Trade Center,
a third plane into the Pentagon and a fourth in rural Pennsylvania.
Schiller said his project will chronicle in real time the response by authorities on the ground to events aboard United
Airlines Flight 93, the plane that officials believe hijackers were steering toward Washington but crashed in Pennsylvania
after passengers stormed the cockpit.
A CBS spokeswoman said the movie would make it to the airwaves next year at the earliest.
At least two other television projects based on events surrounding the Sept. 11 attacks are in the works, according to
the Los Angeles Times and Daily Variety.
One of them, reportedly under discussion at Alliance Atlantis Communications Corp. , the Canadian production house that
co-produces the CBS hit ``CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,'' would focus on the al Qaeda cell in Hamburg, Germany, linked
to the hijackings.
A pair of episodes of the NBC drama series ``Third Watch'' portrayed the lives of police officers, firefighters
and rescue workers before and after the destruction of the World Trade Center. The ABC cop show ``NYPD Blue'' also
has incorporated references to Sept. 11 into its story line.

Calling It Quits
Black Crowes
After more than 10 years of hits and hell-raising, the Black Crowes, swaggering Southern rockers - anchored by battling brothers
Chris and Rich Robinson - have called it quits.
Sources close to the band are blaming their bust-up on Chris Robinson's wife, actress Kate Hudson, best known for
her role as a groupie queen in Cameron Crowe's "Almost Famous."
Though they stopped short of branding Hudson rock's latest Yoko Ono, who broke up The Beatles, our sources says:
"Ever since Chris married Kate the whole band dynamic has changed. He's just not around the guys the way he used to be."
The band's longtime publicist, Mitch Schneider, told The Post's Dan Aquilante that Robinson has decided to
pursue a solo career and that the Crowes "are taking a hiatus, for the time being." He added that drummer
Steve Gorman has left the group for "personal reasons."
But from the very start, the Atlanta-bred band was plagued by the stormy, often violent relationship between
frontman Chris Robinson and lead guitarist Rich.
The brothers frequently got into fist fights on-stage and bickered during interviews. Chris recently told an
interviewer: "We're definitely older and wiser, but the fact is we are brothers. Brothers are supposed to fight.
We're getting along better now than ever. You have to go through rough times to get tighter."

A Fourth Version of ''A Star Is Born''?
Alicia Keys & Will Smith
Will Smith and piano-playing songbird Alicia Keys might be teaming up for a fourth version of "A Star Is Born."
Sources tell us that the "Ali" star and the hotter-than-lava R&B chanteuse - who possesses both stunning looks
and genuine talent - could reprise the roles last portrayed by Kris Kristofferson and Barbra Streisand in 1976.
Before that, Judy Garland and James Mason did the honors in the 1954 version, and Janet Gaynor and Frederic March
starred in the 1937 original. Left Coast insiders say Quincy Jones wants to produce the high-profile project if
it ever takes flight, and Warner Bros. would distribute. Our spies also say that Jada Pinkett-Smith was interested
in appearing alongside her hubby in the mega-musical, but that right now it looks like Keys is a lock. Keys and
Smith became pals when the singer contributed a song to the "Ali" soundtrack, which Smith helped produce. Reps for
Smith and Keys did not return calls.
