No ‘Price is Right' for Rosie O'Donnell
Rosie O'Donnell, don't bother to come on down! The bid by the former host of “The View” to replace Bob Barker as the host of “The Price Is Right” is apparently over, according to a Monday posting on her Web site.
After meeting with representatives for the show last week, O'Donnell reported that a requirement to move to Los Angeles proved to be the deal breaker. O'Donnell lives outside of New York City with her partner and their four children.
O'Donnell, who had made little secret of her desire to take over one of daytime's top-rated programs, said she even had offered to tape four shows a day in Los Angeles but was told that was “impossible.” She added that the show wouldn't change cities either.
Sizemore sentenced to 16 months in prison
Tom Sizemore was sentenced Monday to 16 months in state prison by a judge who ruled the alleged discovery of methamphetamine in the actor's car had violated his probation in a previous drug case.
Sizemore “has been in every program, and here he is again,” Superior Court Judge Cynthia Rayvis said.
He “abused the privilege of probation” and “needs to be in a lockdown setting,” the judge said.
Rayvis recommended Sizemore be sent to the R.J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego County because of its noteworthy drug treatment program.
Sizemore, whose screen credits include “Saving Private Ryan” and “Black Hawk Down,” didn't speak during the hearing. He wore orange jail clothing.
Sizemore's lawyer, Fay Arfa, argued that prison wouldn't help her client overcome his problem.
Diaz apologizes for bag with Maoist slogan
Cameron Diaz apologized Sunday for carrying a bag with a political slogan that evoked painful memories in Peru. The voice of Princess Fiona in the animated “Shrek” films visited the Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru's Andes on Friday carrying an olive green bag emblazoned with a red star and the words “Serve the People” printed in Chinese, perhaps Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong's most famous political slogan.
The bags are marketed as fashion accessories in some world capitals, but in Peru the slogan evokes memories of the Maoist Shining Path insurgency that fought the government in the 1980s and early 1990s in a bloody conflict that left nearly 70,000 people dead.
“I sincerely apologize to anyone I may have inadvertently offended. The bag was a purchase I made as a tourist in China and I did not realize the potentially hurtful nature of the slogan printed on it,” Diaz said in a statement e-mailed to The Associated Press.
