1962 - 2006
'Crocodile Hunter' Steve Irwin dead - "Steve Irwin, the enthusiastic "Crocodile Hunter" who enthralled audiences around the world with his wildlife adventures, died Monday morning after being stung by a stingray while shooting a TV program off Australia's north coast." -- R.I.P.
Actor Glenn Ford Dies - " Legendary actor Glenn Ford, who made his mark as a star of the Western film genre, has passed away. He was 90 years old." -- R.I.P.
Agassi Bids Tennis a Tearful Goodbye - "Collapsing in his courtside chair, the tearful 36-year-old looked up through his fingers to see 20,000 people standing and cheering for him in Arthur Ashe Stadium in a tribute that lasted a solid four minutes, the Associated Press reports." -- Thanks for the ride Andre.
Countdown to Katie Couric - "In just one day, the former "Today" host takes on the "CBS Evening News."" -- And I will not be watching!
'Survivor' Stirs Up Supremacists - "CBS's plan to racially segregate the tribes for the 13th season of "Survivor" has white-supremacist Web bulletin boards buzzing, prompting concern from the Southern Poverty Law Center civil rights group."
Paris Hilton targeted in CD prank - "Hundreds of Paris Hilton albums have been tampered with in the latest stunt by "guerrilla artist" Banksy. Banksy has replaced Hilton's CD with his own remixes and given them titles such as Why am I Famous?, What Have I Done? and What Am I For?"
Out with old, in with new as Cher sheds Gothic - "Fashion icon and award-winning singer and actress Cher is clearing her Malibu home of its Gothic contents and reshaping her life in a giant garage sale."
STOP IT, ROSIE - "O'Donnell, who joins the cast of the crazy, dysfunctional morning chat show tomorrow, got into trouble when she wrote on her Rosie.com Web site two weeks ago that she wishes she were the boss of "The View.""
Rock music boosts your brain power - "LONG suffering parents of adolescents might not agree, but scientists claim that listening to rock music can boost your brain power. Researchers at a Scottish university believe that the sound of guitar-based rock such as Jimi Hendrix, AC/DC and the Red Hot Chili Peppers improves concentration and boosts memory. Contrary to received wisdom, children who listen to loud rock or pop music while swotting for exams are probably improving their chances of success." -- Well, like, duh. I could have told them that.
Buckets of beer, game tickets used by hotels tapping 'mancations' - "Gene Grabarnick longed for a hotel with all the things a man would want on a getaway with friends.Where the concierge ushers guests to the hottest clubs. Where requests, from hand-rolled cigars to a favorite beer in the mini-bar, are unflinchingly filled. Where luxury is wrapped in sexy, swanky style. So, he built it. The Regent South Beach, the swanky hotel Grabarnick developed here and plans to open in October, is among businesses nationwide targeting guys vacationing - or as they like to say, "mancationing" - with their friends. They are offering everything from poker parties to hand-rolled cigars, buckets of beer to sports tickets, all in hopes of tapping a growing market." -- No freakin' comment.
Death Wish most copied film in history - ""It is as fresh as ever and people still talk about it in the street," Winner said of the 1974 cult movie starring Charles Bronson as a vigilante architect wreaking revenge on muggers for a murderous attack on his family."
Nike's Johnny Cash ad a "Hurt"-ful experience - "Instead of focusing on their glorious peaks, the ad captures the athletes during times of trials and tribulations -- those split-second instances when they overcome significant physical and/or mental barriers. Unfortunately, there are no plans to make the spot available to American audiences any time soon."
