...sold his kidney stone for $25,000 to raise money for the charity Habitat for Humanity. Captain Kirk's renal calculus was snapped up by online casino Goldenpalace.com which added the specimen to its collection of oddities, including a partially eaten sandwich thought to contain the image of the Virgin Mary. "This is a bold new addition to our fleet," said the casino's CEO, evidently a longtime Trekkie. Shatner says his stone is no mere lump of calcium.

...Lighter fare was let down. The Globes was supposed to be the event for comedies like 40-Year-old Virgin and Wedding Crashers to have a chance at a big prize.

Virgin Mobile's board rejected the initial offer but analysts now expect NTL to increase its bid by around 10%. "The market is telling us that it's still expecting this deal...
...week, a Metropolitan Police official invited Moss to return to Britain to make a confession of her own.) Perhaps confusing fashion models with role models, Britain's tabloids for days attacked Moss for setting a bad example. But even Moss seems to be making a comeback, with a cheeky Virgin ad satirizing her plight and hints that she may get some endorsement contracts back. Moss's budding redemption is especially ironic because Kennedy's drinking didn't violate any laws. Maybe that's the point - being a heavy drinker in Britain isn't something you're supposed to fret about...
