Re: George Miller
Just a little p.s. on George Miller's passing.
Like most Americans, Miller had no health insurance. David Letterman paid all of the medical bills for his leukemia for over ten years, and supported him when he could no longer work.
What a good guy.
~~ Ken
Thanks, Ken! Not only did Letterman pick up the medical tab, he also made sure that the latest, most promising treatments were used, as well as providing round-the-clock nursing care when needed.
We all should be so lucky to have a friend like Dave!

Welcomes Remake Of "King Kong"
Fay Wray
Fay Wray, the original actress carried by King Kong in the classic 1933 movie, has welcomed news that Peter Jackson is to remake the film, it was reported.
The Canadian-born actress, who is now 95, told the Dominion-Post newspaper she was impressed Jackson wanted to remain true to the original by setting it in the same period.
"I remember Merion Cooper so well, who created the original," she said.
"I still remember when he was just thinking of the idea for the film and he looked at me and said, 'I know I think I will call it Kong -- no, even better, I will call it King Kong!' He was a wonderful person -- so strong and devoted to film.
"I think it is excellent and honourable that Peter Jackson wants to be true to the original. And I am proud that he wants to keep King Kong alive."

Threats & Hate Mail
Dixie Chicks
The Dixie Chicks say they're in danger of bodily harm from folks who are taking their anti-Bush statements a little too personally. The country trio - who got in hot water three weeks ago for telling a London concert audience they were "embarrassed" that George W. Bush is a fellow Texan - told Australian radio they've been receiving threats and some of their property had been vandalized.
"We've gotten a lot of hate mail, a lot of threatening mail," Martie Maguire said Saturday after a gig in Sydney. "Emily [Robison] had the front gate of her ranch smashed in. We have to have security when we get back to the states. It puts my well-being in jeopardy." Even after seeing Dixie Chicks albums banned from radio playlists, Natalie Maines says she's still shocked at the amount of press she received, reports Sydney journo David J. Baird. "What is wrong with the world when what the Dixie Chicks say is more important than the war? Why does anyone care what we think?" The backlash has left Maguire with "a combination of emotions. Either I want to speak out more or I'm scared to say anything."

Sharon Osbourne, the manager wife of rock wild man Ozzy Osbourne, appears to be free of the cancer she discovered last year.
"Ozzy says Sharon has completed her treatment and has no signs of cancer," a spokesman for the rocker told Reuters on Wednesday.
Sharon Osbourne said the strain of living in a fish bowl had become hard as the family struggled to cope with her battle against the cancer, a crisis which she said drove Ozzy to drink.

Leads Anti-War Protest
Martin Sheen
Actor Martin Sheen led a group of women carrying grim pictures of Iraqi women and children and blood-stained children's clothing in a protest at the US-led war on Iraq.
About 300 people were on hand to demonstrate outside US federal government offices here and about 15 were arrested for blocking access to the facilities, witnesses said.
With peace songs in the air, Sheen, 62, -- who plays a US president on the NBC television series "The West Wing" -- filed past the federal building carrying a cross.

Leaving Iraq in Flap with Pentagon
Geraldo Rivera
A day after the Pentagon demanded he leave the war zone in Iraq for divulging U.S. troop positions in a broadcast, maverick television reporter Geraldo Rivera has "volunteered" to leave the country, the Fox News Channel said on Tuesday.
Rivera, who was traveling with the U.S. Army's 101st Airborne Division, ran afoul of military commanders with a live report on Sunday in which he sketched a map in the sand to show viewers his relative location in Iraq and where troops might advance next.
Pentagon officials said Monday that Rivera's report "compromised operational security" of the Army unit and that at the insistence of the field commanders, Fox News had agreed to remove him from the war zone.
Fox, a unit of News Corp. Ltd. and the top-rated all-news cable network in the United States, had initially maintained that the matter was under review with the Pentagon.
Late Tuesday, the network issued a statement saying Rivera's brief stint in Iraq was over for now.

Most Trusted News Anchor
Tom Brokaw
NBC News veteran Tom Brokaw is America's most trusted network anchor, but his heir apparent, Brian Williams, is the least, according to a TV Guide poll released on Wednesday.
The results mirrored recent ratings for the various network evening newscasts, in which the NBC Nightly News holds a strong lead among the Big Three broadcasters, while its sister MSNBC channel is last among the three all-news cable news networks.
Twenty-two percent of those surveyed named NBC's Brokaw as the news anchor they trust the most, while Williams, the MSNBC anchor widely seen as being groomed to eventually replace Brokaw, was in last place with just 4 percent.
Top-rated cable network Fox News Channel's Shepard Smith (16 percent) was in a virtual three-way trustworthiness tie for second place with ABC World News Tonight anchor Peter Jennings (17 percent) and CBS Evening News host Dan Rather (16). CNN's Aaron Brown garnered 11 percent.
But despite Fox News' overall lead in the cable news ratings, nearly a third of survey respondents, 31 percent, said they tune to CNN first when news breaks, followed by Fox News with 20 percent. NBC was third with 11 percent.

Likes Playing Strong Women
Angie Harmon
Angie Harmon has some advice for models who want to be taken seriously as actresses: Play strong, pushy women.
Harmon never had any trouble making the transition because "it wasn't like I had a huge, successful modeling career," she told AP Radio. "I wasn't a supermodel."
The "Agent Cody Banks" star said her character, CIA operative Ronica Miles, got to be sexy as well as tough, wearing tight outfits and high heels — all the while taking down the bad guys.

Ordered To Finish Rehab
Jason Mewes
Jason Mewes, who played a pot-smoking slacker in the Kevin Smith films "Clerks" and "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," has been ordered to complete drug rehabilitation or face jail.
Mewes, 28, who failed to report for a court hearing stemming from a 1999 heroin conviction, had a warrant issued for his arrest in December 2001.
On Tuesday, he surrendered and pleaded guilty to probation violation charges. He admitted failing to report to his probation officer, take drug tests or undergo counseling. He also admitted leaving the state without permission and lying to his probation officer.
If he violates his parole again, he faces up to five years in prison.

Brags About Bias
Fox News
by David Folkenflik
Obnoxious, pontificating jerk." "Self-absorbed, condescending imbecile." "Ivy League intellectual Lilliputian."
These were among the choice phrases deployed by Fox News Channel's Neil Cavuto Friday to rebut criticism that the anchor had abandoned objectivity for overt nationalism on the air.
The complaint was made in a letter written to the network by a journalism professor who Cavuto didn't further identify.
"There is nothing wrong with taking sides here, professor," Cavuto said during his show. "You see no difference between a government that oppresses people, and one that does not, but I do."
Taken as a whole, the anchor's jeremiad neatly defines the tone of Fox News at war: It is patriotic, it is pugilistic, and it takes things personally.
As the invasion of Iraq unfolds, this visceral approach has become more the rule than the exception at Fox News. Always presented as an alternative to the rest of the establishment press, Fox has switched into even higher gear, encouraging a resolutely pro-American, sometimes explicitly pro-war stance.
Founded in 1996 by media magnate Rupert Murdoch, Fox News has a core of capable reporters, such as Jim Angle at the White House, Major Garrett covering the Pentagon, Rick Leventhal, currently reporting from Iraq, and Brit Hume, the channel's Washington managing editor. Under the leadership of Roger Ailes, the channel has strong appeal for those who find the media too elitist or liberal.

Hollywood superstar Russell Crowe will tie the knot with his Australian sweetheart Danielle Spencer at his remote Australian spread on his 39th birthday on Monday.
Publicist Wendy Day told Reuters the Oscar-winning "Gladiator" star and actress-singer Spencer planned a low-key, private affair, with around 80 close friends and family but no A-list Hollywood superstars.
Newspapers said Texas Governor Rick Perry, a long-time friend of New Zealand-born, Australian-raised Crowe, might be there. Longtime pal Nicole Kidman, who last month won the Best Actress Oscar, will not be able to attend although rumors are flying that Sting will.

Fat-Fingered Vulgarian Bets on NBC Reality Show
The Donald
NBC has cut a deal with Donald Trump and "Survivor" producer Mark Burnett for a 13-episode reality series that promises to pit 20 would-be business moguls in a contest to win a six-figure salary working for Trump.
Dubbed "The Apprentice," the series will assemble a group of candidates from all walks of life -- from MBA students to street hustlers -- in a competition to become the "apprentice" to the "master," a.k.a. Trump. The contestants will be put through various tests and challenges. Each episode will conclude with contestants facing a grilling from Trump and some of his top executives, and Trump will ultimately fire one candidate each week.
The finale will find the executive-in-training rewarded with a yearlong job at a six-figure salary with the Trump Organization.

NBC Out $50 Million - So Far
Networks
As the war in Iraq grows ever more unpredictable, General Electric Co., parent of the NBC television, conceded on Wednesday that preempting some entertainment shows in favor of news had cost it $50 million in pretax profits.
At a presentation to investors and analysts in New York, Keith Sherin, the chief financial officer of NBC parent General Electric Co., said the decision to forego popular shows like "Law & Order" in favor of airing newsbreaks had boosted its costs and reduced advertising revenues.
But despite the preemptions, NBC still expects operating profit to be up 10 percent in 2003, Sherin said.
Other networks, though, were less forthcoming about the financial impact of the conflict, which began the evening of March 19 but was so uneventful in its early hours that many networks soon went back to regularly-scheduled programming.
A spokesman for Fox, a part of the Fox Entertainment Group Inc., a unit of News Corp. Ltd., said "the numbers were minimal" in terms of its losses. While the other networks have three nightly prime-time hours, Fox only has two, and it does not have a news division of its own.

Operation Iraqi Liberation
No Comic Cease-Fire
Comedians around the world have declared there won't be any cease-fire in this war.
"Did you know that 'Iraq' is Arabic for 'Vietnam,"' said "Tonight" show host Jay Leno recently.
"resident Bush said if Iraq gets rid of Saddam, he'll help the Iraqi people with food, medicine, supplies, housing, education. Isn't that amazing? He finally comes up with a domestic agenda. And for Iraq! Maybe we could bring that here."
"This war is not about oil -- it's about gasoline," said a deadpan Leno. He added that he could think of five reasons to attack Iraq: "Shell, Exxon, Mobil, Texaco and BP," said Leno, whose popular program can also be seen in many countries abroad.
"President Bush said this Iraq situation looks like the re-run of a bad movie. Well sure, there's a Bush in the White House, the economy's going to hell, we're going to war over oil -- I've seen this movie, haven't I?"
Jokes on the war, Bush, and the at times breathless reports from broadcast journalists with little to report have spread in Europe, Asia, the Americas and Australia. Even a top New Zealand government official shared a favorite joke with journalists:
"Bush got a coded message from Saddam that read: '370HSSV-0773H'," the official said. "Bush was stumped and sent for the CIA. The CIA also had no answer, so it was sent to Bill Clinton. He suggested turning it upside down."
German entertainer Harald Schmidt was among the first to satirize television journalists who talk a lot but say little. He also lampooned Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who had dismissed France and Germany as the "old Europe" for their anti-war stance.
"Iraq is fighting back -- that is, the 'old Iraq' Rumsfeld says," quipped Schmidt, Germany's answer to Leno.
"Bush is going to have to finish this war himself -- he doesn't have a son who can do it for him later."
In France, where anti-war sentiment is widespread, there have been few jokes about Iraq. A notable exception has been Plantu, front-page cartoonist for the daily Le Monde, who has been wielding his caustic pen against the United States.
In one cartoon, a U.S. soldier steps onto a lunar landscape and says, paraphrasing Neil Armstrong's famous comment, "It's one small step for man ... one giant step for stupidity."

Fears For Iraqi Historical Sites
UNESCO
UNESCO said it has received "alarming information" that historical sites in Iraq may have been damaged by continuous bombings, despite numerous pleas for Washington to take care to preserve them.
"Unfortunately, we have alarming information on a number of sites that could have already been damaged by the bombings and fighting," said Monir Buchenaki, Algerian archaeologist and UNESCO assistant cultural manager, adding he had sent a letter to the American authorities on the issue.
"We have received information indicating that the museum of Tikrit (the northern Iraqi town in which Saddam Hussein was born) has been damaged, as well as the museum of Mosul and a palace in Baghdad containing a collection of objects from the monarchy," Buchenaki explained.
"Mesopotamia and the Abbasid caliphate are jewels of civilisation. That is why we constantly raise the alarm not just about casualties, but also warn that cultural heritage that must not be destroyed."

Part of The Anti-Dixie Chicks Squad
Marshall Tucker Band
The Marshall Tucker Band plan to play a May 1 concert organized as an alternative to the Dixie Chicks, who will be opening their United States tour at the Bi-Lo Center in Greenville that day.
Radio talk show host Mike Gallagher proposed the concert as a way for fans to protest remarks that Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines made about resident Bush during the European leg of the trio's tour.
The South Carolina House of Representatives even got involved in the fracas by adopting a resolution asking the band to play a free concert for the troops and their families as a way of apologizing.
All proceeds from the Marshall Tucker Band concert will buy food for military families and military communities, he said.

Larger Than A Giant Squid
Colossal Squid
A colossal squid has been caught in Antarctic waters, the first example of Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni retrieved virtually intact from the surface of the ocean.
"All we knew prior to this specimen coming through was that this animal lived in the abyssal environment down in Antarctica," New Zealand squid expert and senior research fellow at Auckland University of Technology, Dr Steve O'Shea, told BBC News Online.
Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni was first identified in 1925 after two arms were recovered from a sperm whale's stomach.
There have only ever been six specimens of this squid recovered: five have come from the stomachs of sperm whales and the sixth was caught in a trawl net at a depth of 2,000 to 2,200 metres.
The squid researchers are calling Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni the "colossal squid".

In Memory
Edwin Starr
Edwin Starr, the soul singer who produced No. 1 Motown hits such as "War," died of an apparent heart attack Wednesday, his manager said. He was 61.
Starr, who lived in England, died at his home near the central city of Nottingham, said manager Lilian Kyle.
Last year, Starr — from the Motown stable and similar in style to James Brown (news) — performed at the wedding of Liza Minnelli (news) and David Gest in New York. He also had sung live with Bruce Springsteen (news).
Born Charles Hatcher in Nashville, Tenn., Starr formed his first group, the Future Tones, in 1957, recording one single before his three-year army service. In 1965, he was offered a solo deal following two years of touring with another band.
Early hits included "Agent Double-O Soul" and "Stop Her on Sight (S.O.S)."
But his biggest success came with "War," a No. 1 hit in 1970 during a time of growing anti-Vietnam War protests. Other top 10 hits included "Contact" and "H.A.P.P.Y. Radio."
Starr, who made a brief comeback during the disco craze, later spent most of his time touring Europe on the oldies circuit.
Last weekend, he performed at two shows in Stuttgart, Germany.
Suzi Quatro (news), a '70s rock star who had known Starr since she was a teenager in Detroit, praised him Wednesday.
"He was the best," she said. "There was nobody better on stage, and he was the nicest man you could ever wish to meet."
Rainer Haas, Quatro's husband and the promoter of the Stuttgart shows, said: "He was just superb. He played to 16,000 people over the two nights and he put on a great show. The shows were actually recorded for television, so we will have an enduring memory of how brilliant he was live."
In England, Starr participated in an award-winning British Broadcasting Corp. radio series on the U.S. civil rights movement. In 1995, he was featured on a Walt Disney children's workout album entitled "Mousercise."
"His death has come as a total shock," said Paul Carvell, a friend. "His health hasn't been brilliant recently, but he kept that away from most people and continued to give it his all when he performed.
"There is one more star in heaven tonight."
