...take cockroaches and you shine a light on them, they freak out. They scurry away," he says...
...Association in Oshkosh, Wis. The man who recently sold Denver the nine-year-old plane says the singer took it up for two checkout flights before the final, fatal one. The investigation still being conducted by the National Transportation Safety Board may test another theory: that Denver had a freak collision with a pelican.

...introduced to Robert (McGregor), a recently laid-off janitor with a really bad haircut. After having been replaced by a cheap robot and dumped by his gum-chewing girlfriend within the space of a few hours, our shaggy protagonist is at the end of his rope.

Check out Jane Hamsher's funny, true-sounding Killer Instinct (Broadway Books; 288 pages; $25), about her experience as producer of Stone's Natural Born Killers. The book paints Stone as a holy freak--part Ahab, part Ken Kesey--who'll drive everyone nuts to get a film made...
