...still a cash cow. Over the past two decades, with work of very fluctuating quality, Hirst has assembled a net worth that the Sunday Times of London estimated earlier this year at $364 million. The money has bought him a farm in Devon where he lives with his companion Maia Norman and their three sons; a Gothic Revival mansion that he plans to convert into a private museum; and a house in Mexico where the family relocates for three months a year so Maia, who's Californian, can surf.

It commends the miniature schnauzer as an excellent watchdog, for a little added security, or the sweet-tempered soft-coated wheaten terrier as a goodwill ambassador...
Even as she admitted injecting John Belushi with heroin-and-cocaine ''speedballs'' on the night before his death in 1982, onetime Singer Cathy Evelyn Smith, 39, insisted she was innocent of murder. Smith and her lawyers argued that as Belushi's companion in his final days, she had acted at the 33- year-old comedian's urging. In Los Angeles last week, Smith's legal battle ended in a compromise. Prosecutors dropped a second-degree murder charge against the Canadian-born defendant in exchange for her plea of no contest to a count of involuntary manslaughter and three counts...
