It's getting hot, hot hot!

Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have stepped up their insider-trading investigation of Martha Stewart, reinterviewing witnesses and meeting with her lawyers in recent weeks, according to sources close to the case.

Oh, I can see it now (thanks to someone on the internet of course) …

WHAT A TRADE!

I sure wish I could trade my HONOR for a place in the BASEBALL HALL OF FAME…

Pete Rose has indicated to baseball commissioner Bud Selig that he's willing for the first time to admit he bet on baseball, apologize for denying it the past 13 years and even to serve a probationary period, according to a friend of the all-time hit king.

Did anyone actually believe him? Oh yes, I bet someone did.

Rose's new conciliatory stance during negotiations sets the stage for his reinstatement to the game and likely paves the way for his entrance into the Hall of Fame next year, providing the voters can forgive quicker than he apologized.

I got an idea. Let's don't.

When I was a young lad…

Students rioted at Montwood High School Wednesday morning.

Okay, personally, I think some over zealous news reporter over-reacted.

Students reportedly walked out of class at about 9:30 a.m. to protest the school's decision to shift to block scheduling for the 2003-2004 school year.

Police said they asked the students to return to class and the students refused.

In my younger days, I think we called this a "sit-out". Hmmm. Oh, wait…

Officers say students threw rocks and bottles at them, injuring one officer's hand. Police said they did use some mace.

I am sure the students did not start throwing things first.

The El Paso Police Department said the disturbance qualifies as a riot. They also said no children were injured and 11 arrests have been made.

The key word here dingbats, err, officers, is CHILDREN. Sheesh.

Exit, STAGE LEFT. Please. Now.

Susan Sarandon used the premiere of her new film to criticise Tony Blair and his relationship with President Bush.

What a nice way to celebrate your movie, by acting political again.

Sarandon, wearing a red and black floral dress, purple leather jacket and matching boots said: "I'm tired of being labelled anti-American because I ask questions."

No dear, we don't think you are anti-American because you ask questions, we think you are anti-American because you ACT like you are anti-American.

"What's happened to Blair? I don't understand his reasoning or his logic. I don't understand his evolution. I can see him being seduced by (former US President) Clinton but don't understand what him and Bush speak about."

Of course you don't dear. YOU ARE AN ACTRESS. We realize this. You should.

Him and Bush. {chuckle}
