  1. I'm actually 1/2 and 1/2. Some things I can put off forever, like going to a dentist when I need to, but other things, I am right on top of it.
  2. I wish there was a 4-5 nights a week choice. At least 4 nights a week.
  3. Sort of makes sense doesn't it? Sleeping pills to knock their child out while they dine in peace? I wonder if they did it to the twins? Maybe they can check their blood to see if this something they do on a regular basis. If you don't want kids, use birth control or get fixed!
  4. I understand their thinking, but I would never give that murderer the satisfaction of publishing his "notes".
  5. Twenty million fans have tried to get tickets for Led Zeppelin's comeback gig in London later this year. WOW! You should try Wiracocha! It's a ballot, they choose at random. Can't hurt to try.
  6. CHICAGO (AP) — The father and sister of Ronald Goldman say by seizing control of the O.J. Simpson book, "If I Did It," they are punishing the man they believe murdered their loved one. Fred Goldman and his daughter, Kim, appeared on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Thursday to discuss their decision to publish the book, released the same day. Simpson was acquitted in 1995 of killing his ex-wife, Nicole, and her friend, Ronald. Over the summer, a federal bankruptcy judge awarded the book's rights to Goldman's family to help satisfy a $38 million wrongful death judgment against Simpson. The Goldmans retitled the book "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer." Winfrey said she won't buy or read the book, and asked the Goldmans if they don't feel its proceeds are "blood money." "It's sending him a message," Kim Goldman said. "He put hours putting together this confession about how he killed Ron and Nicole, and he worked hard thinking he was going to make millions off of it. And we snatched it right out from under him." Winfrey said dedicating a show to the topic was a "moral, ethical dilemma" for her. She said she committed to the show when the guests were to also include Nicole Simpson's sister, Denise Brown, who has been severely critical of the Goldmans for publishing the book. Brown later refused to share a stage with the Goldmans, however, and Winfrey said she felt she had to keep her word to the Goldmans. Winfrey acknowledged that her program often promotes books and authors, yet, she said, "I don't want to be in the position to promote this book, because I, too, think it's despicable." Denise Brown did speak to Winfrey, but on her own in a segment taped earlier. She said she decided against appearing with the Goldmans because she feared it would give the book "more impact." She called the Goldmans hypocrites for changing their minds about publishing a book Fred Goldman earlier called "disgusting" and "despicable" when O.J. Simpson stood to benefit. "I felt the same way. I stood my ground on that," Brown said. "I still don't believe it should be published. I think it is a morally wrong thing to do." Winfrey told the Goldmans she wishes they could find some peace, but Fred Goldman said the book's publication won't help with that. "It brings a certain level of satisfaction that we've taken something from him," he said. "I think it also is a recognition for him to know forevermore that we're going to be after him ... to punish him for what he's done, to get some piece of justice." Simpson's ghostwritten, hypothetical story of how he would have murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman originally was scheduled to come out last November, but HarperCollins pulled the book in response to near-universal protests. Beaufort Books, a small New York-based publisher, is reissuing "If I Did It" with Simpson's original manuscript intact and extensive commentary, including a chapter written by the Goldmans. Simpson has maintained his innocence in the 1994 killings in Los Angeles. Currently living near Miami, he has disowned the book, saying he had little do with its creation. The ghostwriter, Pablo Fenjves, has disagreed, saying "If I Did It" is based on extensive discussions with Simpson. As of Thursday, the book was No. 8 in sales on Barnes&Noble.com and No. 52 on Amazon.com. On the Net: The Oprah Winfrey Show: http://www.oprah.com
  7. Rocker Tommy Lee has brought Motley Crue's reunion to a screeching halt after announcing he wants to quit the band. His decision follows an amended complaint, filed by his three bandmates, against his manager and business partner Carl Stubner, in which the trio is demanding $20 million in damages. Mick Mars, Vince Neil and Nikki Sixx contend Stubner cost them millions by persuading Lee to turn his back on lucrative concert dates and concentrate his efforts in two reality TV shows. In a statement released by Lee's management company to website Blabbermouth.net late Wednesday, a spokesman for the rocker revealed he "recently informed Sixx and Mars, the shareholders of Motley Crue, Inc., that he was resigning from the band and his resignation was accepted." A previous statement from Lee's attorney Barbara Berkowitz suggested the drummer was far from happy with his bandmates' legal actions. Berkowitz said, "Mr. Lee was neither consulted regarding this matter nor authorized the lawsuit. Mr. Lee has not made any allegations against his current personal manager. Mr. Lee feels fortunate to have been part of the Motley reunion tour, as well as other opportunities outside of Motley Crue over the past several years. "It is unfortunate that others believe that they all could have made more money had Mr. Lee exclusively participated in the band that he co-founded in 1980."

  15. WASHINGTON (AP) — The deaths of two patients prescribed a powerful painkiller as a headache treatment were among four fatalities linked to the recently approved drug, its manufacturer reported Thursday. All four deaths apparently involved improper use of the drug, called Fentora, manufacturer Cephalon Inc. said. The Food and Drug Administration was monitoring the situation, a spokeswoman said. The FDA approved the drug in September for use only by cancer patients already taking morphine or other prescription narcotics for their pain. Fentora contains fentanyl, which is similar to morphine, but far more potent. Besides the two headache patients, the other deaths involved a suicide and a patient administered the drug outside the recommended dosing. "None of the reports were in cancer patients, which leads us to believe they were inappropriate candidates for the product," Cephalon spokeswoman Candace Steele said. Cephalon reminded doctors and pharmacists, in letters dated Monday but released Thursday by the FDA, of who should take the drug, and in what quantities and how often. The company also warned not to substitute Fentora on a one-for-one basis for another, older fentanyl drug called Actiq that it also makes, because the newer drug is stronger. "The FDA takes this very seriously, and is working with the company to assure the safest possible use of this medication," agency spokeswoman Susan Cruzan said. Steele said the deaths were not linked to allegations subject to investigation that Cephalon engaged in improper promotion of Fentora and other drugs for uses other than those outlined in their FDA-approved labels. While it's not illegal for doctors to prescribe drugs for so-called "off-label" uses, companies are prohibited from marketing medicines for those purposes. Last month, Frazer, Pa.-based Cephalon said it was cooperating with the investigations by Congress, the U.S. attorney's office in Philadelphia and Connecticut attorney general. Doctors have written about 78,000 prescriptions for Fentora tablets since October, Steele said. On the Net: http://www.fda.gov/medwatch/safety/2007/safety07.htm#Fentora
