Yoko Ono's driver may leave of own accord
Yoko Ono's former driver, who pleaded guilty to trying to extort money from her, can leave the United States voluntarily rather than be deported, a federal immigration judge decided Wednesday.

Koral Karsan can return to his native Turkey without further legal proceedings under an order signed by Judge Alan A. Vomacka. Karsan must leave the U.S. by April 13. He has a plane ticket to Turkey for March 23, lawyer Jonathan Avirom said.

Lohan's father freed fom jail, wants to start anew

His first night as a free man, Lindsay Lohan's father said he is a minister with a new attitude, and he's ready to repair the broken relationship with his daughter.

“I think she knows she needs us both,” Michael Lohan said following his release Tuesday from prison. “I'm going to wait, and when she sees I'm walking the walk, I'm hopeful she'll open the door.”

Michael Lohan said he went to Bible college while behind bars at Collins State Correctional Facility in upstate New York and became a minister with the Assemblies of God Ministry.

“I feel absolutely blessed,” Lohan, a former financier, said in a telephone interview during a party celebrating his release. “I can't tell you what it feels like to be free. It's amazing. ... I want to help people. I don't want them to fall into the same traps I did.”

Lohan hopes to help youth troubled with drugs and other problems, he said.

R.E.M. almost single-handedly made Athens famous as a hotbed for independent rock in the 1980s.

The group, which has won three Grammys and sold over 70 million records, was inducted into the Rock ‘n' Roll Hall of Fame in a ceremony.

Police snoop around Snoop Dogg for narcotics

Snoop Dogg was held by police overnight on suspicion of using illegal narcotics but was released after questioning and drug tests, a police spokesman said Monday.

The artist was heading to a party after a concert in the Swedish capital when police stopped the car he was riding in around 1:30 a.m., said Matts Brannlund, of the Stockholm police. He said Snoop Dogg and a female companion showed signs of drug use and were taken to a police station.

“He was deemed to be under the influence of narcotics,” Brannlund said.
