Paris Hilton says she has few friends left because they always leak information about her to the media. She tests their loyalty by telling them a lie. If the lie shows up in the papers, that friendship is kaput. The new moon is giving you flashbacks about times when you've been betrayed. But when you introduced your slutty roommate to your boyfriend, you knew she would jump his bones. Duh. Taurus (April 20-May 20) In a court deposition Ojani Noa, Jennifer Lopez's first husband, says that Jennifer practices Santeria, which is similar to voodoo, and has used it on Sean "Puffy" Combs, Ben Affleck and Marc Antony. You figure J'Lo's mojo must be getting weak. How else can she explain Monster-in-Law and Shall We Dance? Saturn is making you desperate to regain career momentum.
Negro League stars discuss their playing days
ONTARIO - Baseball might have been the main topic Friday at the annual luncheon hosted by the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes to honor those who played in the historic Negro Baseball League, but it was their personal stories that were most riveting. For the third year, Quakes general manager North Johnson put together the opportunity that allowed Southern California baseball fans to meet and chat with men in their 70s about an era most only know through history books. "We need to take advantage of real history lessons,'' said Johnson, who started a similar event in Kinston, N.C., more than 10 years ago. "There are less than 100 players from the Negro League who are still living. "We want to make sure that we don't forget an important part of our history. These men changed society, not just baseball, as a whole.'' Johnny Washington, Sam Allen, Herb Wooten, Hank Mason, Harold Hair and Carl Long were once household names as they played for teams such as Chicago American Giants, Kansas City Monarchs, Indianapolis Clowns and Birmingham Black Barons.
The King Of Rock 'N' Roll Lives On Through Impersonator From Bosnia
ST. JOHNSBURY VERMONT
Dusko Dooley Mandic's tanned skin, casual summer shorts and button-up T-shirt make him look like a guy who would be just as comfortable on a tropical island as he is in rural Vermont. The thought of him, a man in his late 50s from Bosnia, being an Elvis Presley impersonator may strike some as odd at first, but when you see Mandic all decked out as the King in his homemade outfit, and he starts strumming out "Blue Suede Shoes," his thick accent disappears and one thing quickly becomes obvious: He's really quite good. "God blessed American music," he said, "and he blessed Elvis Presley and gave him a great gift." Since his early 20s, Mandic, and his younger brother and sound engineer Dragan Dan Mandic, have been making American music. Even in their native homeland they were popular for singing the greats of such artists like Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard and more.
Getting Psyched To Retire
It may wake you at three in the morning or jolt you during a late flight home from a business trip. You're a few years from retirement, and you suddenly realize it's not the money you need to worry about (well, you do, but that's another story). There's another whole set of issues: What will you do when you no longer have the daily schlep to the office? Who will you be once you've been stripped of your executive title? What will provide that next adrenaline rush? .
