It seems Paris and former Miss USA and ex girlfriend of Oscar de la Hoya, Shanna Moakler, mixed it up in a Los Angeles nightclub earlier this week. Then, Greek shipping heir Stavros Niarchos, shoved Shanna down some stairs. That Paris is beginning to be a regular at the Los Angeles police station. A few weeks ago they hauled her sorry ass in on drunk driving charges and now she is back again for fighting. I guess all that cow milking she did on "The Simple Life" has lead her to believe she is a tough chick. Who knows what's next for pretty little Paris. I'm not making any of this stuff up either. This is better than any episode of "The Simple Life". I am just wondering who will get custody of Tinkerbell when they haul Paris off to the bighouse. The L.A. police have a tough job, too. Can you imagine having to take crime scene pictures of those two? I know I can.

School snacks should become a bit healthier for students across the country under a landmark deal brokered by former President Bill Clinton with five major food companies.
Comedian Paul Mooney was fired as the host of Showtime at the Apollo by Time Warner Tuesday. He was bashing Bush. After everything that's been said about Bush at this point, how did Mooney manage to provoke such a harsh response? "I talked about his little drunk daughters, Gin and Juice," he says, referring to Jenna and Barbara Bush. "I talked about his mother, who looks like the man on the oatmeal box."
Washington --- The White House records show that the Bush administration ignored a CIA warning that could have prevented the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the United States. CIA director George Tenet and his counterterrorism chief J. Cofer Black warned Ms Rice in the starkest terms that an Al Qaeda attack was imminent and that immediate action was needed. Ms Rice, then National Security Adviser, listened to them politely, but failed to grasp their message. They left totally frustrated.
