    Q:	"What's the most outrageous untrue story you've ever read about you
	in the tabloids?"

    A:	"I have to honestly say that most of the stuff they write has a
	little grain of truth. They've told a lot of stuff about me that's
	true.  They've told a lot of stuff about me that ain't true.  And
	I don't admit or deny any of it, because what I ain't done, I'm
	capable of doing."
				- Dolly Parton

If It Doesn't Fit...: LA County prosecutors want OJ Simpson's daughter
Arnelle to pay $130,000 to repair damages she caused while driving drunk.

History Lesson: Oliver Stone will direct "Marching to Valhalla," a film
about Gen. George Custer's last stand. "According to Stone, Custer's real
killer was hidden from sight at Little Big Horn behind the Little Big Grassy
Knoll." (Alex Kaseberg)

Spaced Out: A North Carolina man says he's invented a UFO detector that he's
selling for $15.  "The device also doubles as an imbecile detector.  If you
buy one, you're an imbecile." (Lawson)
