The five women tried to enlist, saying they
wanted to go to Iraq so their children and
grandchildren could come home. Recruiters called
police.

Their group, dubbed the "Tucson Raging Grannies,"
includes members ranging in age from 65 to 81 -
decades older than the maximum age for recruits. They
have protested at the center every week for three
years.

A Grammy-nominated record producer reported missing
last weekend has been found safe not far from his home
in Southern California.

Forty-eight-year old Christian Julian Irwin was
spotted sitting in a creek, naked, washing his jeans.

Irwin had made a panicked phone call to a friend,
saying he was running through water, being pursued by
people with dogs and had lost his glasses and shoes.

A week-long manhunt turned up no trace of him until he
was spotted in the backyard creek by a resident less
than a mile from where he disappeared.

Police say he was distraught and seemed to think he
was being pursued by Nigerians in an Internet scam.
They don't think that was true and took him into
custody as a possible danger to himself.

A deputy warden at the Ross Correctional Institution
was suspended for five days last month after he
mistakenly showed inmates a sexually explicit
television show.

He meant to only record an HBO boxing match but
unintentionally taped over part of some porn movies
that was shown to all the rapists and child molesters.

After the screening, soap was not dropped in the
shower for over three weeks.

The MTV Video Music Awards escaped the drama and
damage of Hurricane Katrina. Now they face being
overshadowed by another dangerous name... Suge Knight.

The Death Row Records founder, who has been at the
center of some of hip-hop's most violent moments, was
shot in the leg at a party thrown by Kanye West and
attended by stars including Jessica Alba, Eddie
Murphy, Paris Hilton, the Game and The Black Eyed
Peas.

Though Knight's injuries were not life-threatening,
the violence dampened the celebratory vibe of the
event.

Robert Redford may soon be reunited on screen with
Paul Newman but don't expect a sequel to "Butch
Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" or "The Sting," the
68-year-old Redford and Newman who turned 80 this
year, would pair up in an adaptation of Bill Bryson's
travel book "A Walk in the Woods," the story of the
author's hike through the American wilderness with a
friend.

China's edition of Donald Trump's reality TV show "The
Apprentice" will drop the mogul's "you're fired"
catchphrase to avoid upsetting Chinese sensitivities,
Chinese traditionally frown on behaviour causing
embarrassment to others and the shaming outbursts
typical of Trump's TV test of contestants' business
acumen have been toned down for mainland audiences.

Instead, failed contestants will be politely told "you
will have a better opportunity somewhere else."

To tell somebody he's fired in such a tone, especially
when this person has literally not been hired, is not
the Chinese way.

Besides, "You're Fired" litterally translates in
Chinese to "Mine is bigger than yours."
