...held as the after-party to Sydney's Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, Alice Is Wonderland has been brought forward this year-the hundreds of regulars who fly in from the rest of Australia and the world can't wait, it seems. Expect DJs from the country's mighty Spin F-X sound system and an atmosphere of good-natured debauchery. If you need a place to stay, one option is the Rainbow Connection, tel: (61-8) 8952 6441-central Australia's only gay and lesbian bed-and-breakfast. Book now, because it's going to be a full house...
...harassment against Shane Warne was described by Hookes as ?a dopey, hairy-backed sheila.? Last June he called on Steve Waugh to step down as Test captain?a bold statement not likely to endear him to cricket?s official family or fans. His critics claimed he couldn?t play spin bowling; recently, admirers of his frankness said rhetorical spin was not in his nature.

Overall, Washington has structured the game just as any gambling house would, so there are a few winners but a lot more losers...
...Eszterhas vastly overestimates the reader's interest in the breakup of his first marriage, and in his various health problems, and in the superfine details of his wheelings and dealings and squealings with studio executives. Even worse, there's a fundamental lack of self-insight here. Eszterhas wants to spin himself as a Hollywood outsider, a self-righteous desperado who took the town for all it was worth and then rode off into the sunset (he moved back to Ohio in 2001), but at the same time he is unbearably eager to drop names and show us what a hotshot...
