PAVAROTTI CANCER
Famed tenor Luciano Pavarotti is recovering from pancreatic cancer surgery. The cancer is often considered a death sentence, but his manager says he is recovering well. The 70-year-old has canceled the rest of his 2006 concerts.
SAY WHAT?
File this under "outrageous lawsuits." An Oregon man is suing basketball superstar Michael Jordan and Nike for 832-million dollars. The reason? He says he's tired of being harassed because he looks like Jordan. Allen Heckard is suing for permanent injury, defamation and emotional pain and suffering. Seems like Heckard should be fined for wasting court time.
