Lately everyone's been getting a smile, or a scowl, out of the fact that the Ohio-born actress was stopped for speeding in the Governor's state-leased car. The fuss prompted Kerrey to cancel her car privileges, and a collection was started to buy Winger a Swinger (a 1971 Dart, for $500). She used the cash instead to buy a station wagon for a home for troubled girls. "I've never been in love with a Governor before...

And Haridopolos, like other anti-AWOLers, admits he hasn't seen them used--let alone abused--by his constituents. Nor are their powers all they're cracked up to be. When AWOL is used, ingesting the equivalent of half a shot of liquor takes 20 minutes, according to Morse. "It's nearly impossible to get drunk with it," he says. A bar owner in West Paterson, N.J., even returned the gizmo because it didn't offer enough of a buzz. Mothers Against...
Stevie Wonder had a vision. In a music-industry first, the video for So What the Fuss, the single from the blind balladeer's album due next month, is enhanced with narration for the visually impaired. As Wonder performs the song onscreen, raspy rapper Busta Rhymes describes the visuals: "Stevie's playing a pearl-white drum set ..." he tells listeners. Calling the project a "breakthrough," Wonder says he's enlisting other artists to add descriptive narration to their videos as well. Before it catches on, we'd like to warn the visually impaired: Christina Aguilera sounds a lot better when...
