CBS adds mystery guest for halftime show: "Janet Jackson, Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs, Kid Rock and Nelly apparently weren't enough for CBS' 12 1/2-minute Super Bowl halftime show.
Another act is poised join the MTV-produced extravaganza. Who that is will remain a mystery until the program, producers said Thursday."

I hope it's Michael Jackson. The best Super Bowl halftime show was his 1993 performance where he did that sick Star Trek transponding magic trick to move from the main stadium stage to the top of the scoreboard. And then he moonwalked on top of the scoreboard! Amazing.

He said he felt he had moved people on both sides of the wall, although he admitted hardly any of the East Germans could speak English."

I think I hate car salesmen more than Haliburton.
Confessions of a Car Salesman: "What really goes on in the back rooms of car dealerships across America?
What does the car salesman do when he leaves you sitting in a sales office and goes to talk with his boss?
What are the tricks salespeople use to increase their profit and how can consumers protect themselves from overpaying?
These were the questions we, the editors at Edmunds.com, wanted to answer for our readers. But how could they really know that our information was accurate and up-to-date? Finally, we came up with the idea of hiring an investigative reporter to work in the industry and experience, firsthand, the life of a car salesman."

Within days, he was vomiting up his burgers and battling with headaches and depression. And his sex drive vanished.
When Spurlock had finished, his liver, overwhelmed by saturated fats, had virtually turned to pate. 'The liver test was the most shocking thing,' said Dr Daryl Isaacs, who joined the team to watch over him. 'It became very, very abnormal.'
Spurlock put on nearly 12kg over the period and his cholesterol level leapt from a respectable 165 to 230. He told the New York Post: 'I got desperately ill. My face was splotchy and I had this huge gut, which I've never had in my life ... It was amazing - and really frightening.'"

The book is expected to contain useful tips on subjects such as 'How to Be an Heiress' - for example, 'Only sleep on Egyptian cotton sheets with a 400 to 600 thread count.' (And here we thought the answer was to have millionaire parents.)"

Lance Bass defends Paris' honor.
New York Post Online Edition: gossip: "PARIS Hilton love triangle alert! Even though the sexy 'Simple Life' star told friends she had to promise her parents she'd stay out of the limelight to be allowed to go to the Sundance Film Festival, it's no secret she's dating former Backstreet Boy Nick Carter these days. However, it was ex-*NSYNCer Lance Bass who defended her honor against Paris' villainous porn tape co-star Rick Solomon at a Sundance party the other night. We're told that after Hilton and Solomon got into an argument at an Xbox Live party at the Motorola Lounge, Paris stomped across the room and starting dancing with Bass. The next thing anyone knew, Bass walked over to Solomon, deliberately bumped him and spilled his drink. We're told the two men had words before Hilton's posse left. This is laying low?"

SMOKE OUT CIG-TAX DODGERS: "New Yorkers can earn cash rewards for ratting out bodegas, groceries and individuals selling bootlegged cigarettes if a bill supported by Mayor Bloomberg wins approval.
Under the bill, the city would give a 'suitable' reward to anyone who provides information that leads to the detection of violations of the cigarette tax.
Under the legislation, a person 'generally' could receive up to 15 percent of the owed taxes that are eventually collected, meaning someone responsible for a bust leading to $1 million in tax collections could reap a $150,000 reward."

GAOLING COUNTY, China -- The peasants here say it is wonderful to live in a cave, except during a torrential rainy season.
Several million people in the province live this way. It is not a throwback to Neanderthal times, though it is hardly luxurious.
