Variety is reporting that the National Football League has approached Bruce Springsteen to perform during the Super Bowl halftime show next year in Glendale, Arizona. Springsteen is reportedly working on a new album with the E Street Band, with a tour to follow, and would obviously benefit from the exposure. A spokeswoman for Springsteen was unavailable for comment. The game, by the way, is good work if you can get it: the last three artists to perform at the Super Bowl -- Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones and Prince -- have seen an increase in album sales and downloads in the week following their appearances.

Instead of giving her credit for showing what disabled people can do, the Federation of Disabled People is giving Heather Mills grief. The estranged wife of Paul McCartney Mills recently announced that she will be a contestant on Dancing With the Stars, which has led the Federation to criticize her for using a handicapped sticker on her car. Spokeswoman Kathy Gordon says, "Clearly she has mobility, so she should refrain from using the badge. It's not fair on other disabled people." Mills lost part of her left leg below the knee after being struck by a police motorcycle in London in 1993. The fourth season of Dancing With the Stars premieres on March 19th on A-B-C.

The shows that The Police put on sale yesterday and this past Saturday -- in Denver, Seattle, Oakland and East Rutherford, New Jersey -- have all sold out. Second shows have been added in Denver and Seattle. The tour starts May 28th in Vancouver.

Man aged 107 forsakes sex for longevity

HONG KONG (Reuters) - A 107-year-old Hong Kong villager, who still enjoys an occasional smoke, has attributed his longevity in part to decades of sexual abstinence, a newspaper said on Sunday.

"I don't know why I have lived this long," Chan Chi -- one of Hong Kong's oldest people -- was quoted as saying in the South China Morning Post during an annual feast for the city's elders.

"Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have lived a sex-less life for many years -- since I was 30," said Chan, a widower whose youthful bride perished during the Japanese invasion in World War Two.

Declaration of Independence for $2.48

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A rare, 184-year-old copy of the Declaration of Independence found by a bargain hunter at a Nashville thrift shop is being valued by experts at about 100,000 times the $2.48 purchase price.

Michael Sparks, a music equipment technician, is selling the document in an auction March 22nd at Raynors' Historical Collectible Auctions in Burlington, North Carolina. The opening bid is $125,000 and appraisers have estimated it could sell for nearly twice that.

Sparks found his bargain last March while browsing at Music City Thrift Shop in Nashville. When he asked the price on a yellowed, shellacked, rolled-up document, the clerk marked it at $2.48.

It turned out to be an "official copy" of the Declaration of Independence _ one of 200 commissioned by John Quincy Adams in 1820.

He didn't know he had such a valuable piece until doing some online research and then having appraisers at Raynors' offer an opinion.

Woman Allegedly Shoots at Tailgater

HARRISON TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) -- A woman who told authorities she was fed up with tailgaters pulled out a gun and shot at the tires of a pickup that got too close, police said. Officials believe the bullet missed the pickup, and no one was hurt.

Bernadette Headd, 39, was in rush-hour traffic Wednesday in suburban Detroit when the pickup pulled behind her, police said.

Headd changed lanes and fired one round from a 9 mm handgun, police said. The driver followed her and flagged down a deputy, who stopped her and found the weapon.

"She said she was tired of people tailgating her," Macomb County Sheriff Mark Hackel said.
Headd, who had a permit to carry a concealed weapon, was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm from a vehicle and use of a firearm during a felony.

She was ordered held on $50,000 bond.

Descent From 32000 Feet

A German paragliding champion has survived being sucked into a storm that pulled her higher than Mount Everest.

Ewa Wisnierska, 35, who lost consciousness as she soared skywards, was covered in ice and battled hailstones the size of oranges. She was pulled 9,940m (32,612 feet) above sea level in the storm near Tamworth, in New South Wales, paragliding officials said.

Championship organiser Godfrey Wenness said it was remarkable that Ms Wisnierska had survived. “There’s no oxygen,” Mr Wenness said. “She could have suffered brain damage but she came to again at a height of 6,900m with ice all over her body and slowly descended herself…It’s like winning Lotto 10 times in a row - the odds of her surviving were that long.”

Ms Wisnierska says she felt like an astronaut returning from the Moon as she landed. “I could see the Earth coming - wow, like Apollo 13 - I can see the Earth,” she said.

She was sure her chance of surviving was “almost zero. I was shaking all the time. The last thing I remember it was dark, I could hear lightning all around me.”

Ms Wisnierska finally made contact with her ground team at 4,000m (13,123 feet)… and finally managed to land - 60km (40 miles) from where she took off.

Hellish Satan-Woman To Appear On Television

Despite being embroiled in a bitter divorce battle with Paul McCartney, Heather Mills is putting on her dancing shoes and will appear on Dancing With the Stars.

Her spokesman tells the B-B-C, "It's something that might take her mind off some of the difficulties she's been having. She's doing it because she loves dancing, always has, enjoys a challenge and sees this as a combination of both."

Mills, who lost her left leg below her knee in 1993 after being struck by a police motorcycle, will be the first contestant to dance with an artificial limb.

She will appear alongside country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, Muhammad Ali's daughter Laila, former 'N Sync singer Joey Fatone, former Sopranos cast member Vincent Pastore, Ian Ziering from Beverly Hills 9-0-2-1-0, Olympic speed skating champion Apolo Anton Ohno, former basketball great Clyde Drexler, Leeza Gibbons, and Ric Ocasek's wife, model Paulina Porizkova.

The contestants must learn a new dance with a professional partner each week, with the weakest one getting voted off. The next season starts airing March 19th on A-B-C.

Big Tour News

The Police reunion tour is doing just what the band and tour promoters had hoped -- it's selling out. The demand for tickets has been so great that second shows have been added in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, and Boston -- and stadium shows have been announced for Los Angeles, Oakland, and East Rutherford, New Jersey. Tickets for two shows at Madison Square Garden in New York sold out in minutes yesterday. The tour starts May 28th in Vancouver, Canada. Sting is currently on tour in Europe with a show in Florence, Italy tonight.

The Van Halen reunion with David Lee Roth is still "indefinitely postponed." No one associated with the band or the tour was willing to go on the record about the situation yesterday, but in the afternoon Pollstar, the concert industry trade magazine, reported the same news we broke yesterday morning.

A patrolman gave the woman a ticket for holding up traffic.

Tuesday Rock Roundup

Too good to be true? You betcha! We learned this morning that a source close to the band has said that Van Halen's reunion tour with David Lee Roth has been "indefinitely postponed." While Eddie, Alex, Dave and Eddie's son Wolfgang (replacing bassist Michael Anthony) have been rehearsing, their plans are now up in the air. It seems that when Eddie's girlfriend/spokesperson announced the reunion on February 2nd, there was no signed deal between the band, Roth and the tour promoter. The Van Halen best-of highlighting the Roth years has also been scrapped by Rhino. Regardless of all this drama, Van Halen will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in New York on March 12th. The last time Van Halen toured with David Lee Roth was in 1984. The last time Van Halen toured was in 2004 with Sammy Hagar. Representatives for the Van Halen brothers have yet to comment, as has Roth's spokeswoman.

Meanwhile...in further Van Halen News...only five of the six men who have ever been in the band will be enshrined into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame next month. The band's other singer, Gary Cherone, is okay with this. He writes on his MySpace page, "While yes, I was a small part of their history, I was certainly not a part of their legend, and that is what we, the fans, are celebrating... Congratulations to my friends Alex, Eddie, Michael, Dave and Sammy. The mighty Van Halen -- an incredible honor." The induction ceremony will be held March 12th in New York.

Jimmy Buffett donated his Martin guitar to Sports Illustrated for its annual Swimsuit Issue and to raise money for charity. The guitar went with each swimsuit model as she posed for the magazine in exotic locations around the world.

The auction ends on February 28th. Check out Jimmy and one of the models, Brooklyn Decker, on his website.

Although Freedom's Road is his first Top 10 album in over a decade, John Mellencamp admits that he doesn't place too much stock in the charts anymore. Referring to the SoundScan era, he says, "The charts were totally changed in the early '90s. Remember once upon a time when you knew every number-one song there was? And then all of a sudden you didn't know any of it? That's all because the charts changed. And it just absolutely ruined the business." Mellencamp will tour behind the album later this year. We here at WAOR couldn't agree more, which is why we only play Classic Rock.

The Doors have received a Diamond Award from the Recording Industry Association of America. The citation recognizes albums that have sold 10-million copies, which The Best of The Doors has now done after selling 500-thousand in the last six months. Only a few acts -- including Eagles, Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Def Leppard and A-C/D-C -- have Diamond-selling albums. The Doors were honored earlier this month with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. On February 28th, they will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Kurt Cobain would have turned 40 years old today. The Nirvana singer-guitarist was 27 when he killed himself at his home in Seattle on April 5th, 1994.

Man catches shark with his bare hands

SYDNEY, Australia (AP) - A man who caught a 1.3 -metre shark with his bare hands off an Australian beach said on Friday he only tried the feat because he was drunk on vodka.

Phillip Kerkhof was fishing off a jetty at Louth Bay, a town on South Australia state's Eyre Peninsula 1,400 kilometres west of Sydney, when he spotted the bronze whaler shark swimming in the shallows, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported. "I just snuck up behind him, and eventually I went for the big grab and I fluked it and got him," Kerkhof said.

"He was just thrashing around in the water ... starting to turn around and try to bite me and I thought 'well, it's amazing what vodka does," Kerkhof said.

The shark bit a hole in Kerkhof's jeans, but he was uninjured.

Bassist Tom Hamilton will be back with Aerosmith when they tour South America and Europe this spring and summer. Hamilton, who sat out the band's 2006 tour with Motley Crue because of treatment for throat cancer, says, "It feels really good to be up and running and looking forward to going on the road. It's still very weird to think about missing a whole last tour. Many times I felt like I needed to be out there with the unit pulling my weight, but now I can savor what we're about to do. We've got a busy year coming up." After the European tour, Aerosmith will head back into the studio to finish their next album, which they started working on last year.

There are no plans to release Let It Be, the last film from The Beatles, anytime soon. Neil Aspinall, who heads up the band's Apple Corps, tells FOX News that the "controversial" nature of the film, which captured the band arguing, is still "controversial [and] it raised a lot of old issues." Up next for the Beatles is the re-release of their catalog, which has been remastered, as well as their music being available for download.

Hello magazine is reporting that Heather Mills, the estranged wife of Paul McCartney, will appear on the T-V reality show Dancing With the Stars. Mills, who lost the lower part of her left leg in 1993 after being struck by a police motorcycle, will donate her earnings from the show to Viva, an animal welfare charity. When Heather is not dancing, she is using her legs for something else. Last week she allegedly kicked a photographer who tried to take her picture outside her sister Fiona's home in Hove, England. Heather is said to have leaned into the photographer's car window to grab his camera. He then got out of the car and she told him he was the "scum of the Earth" before knocking his hat off and kicking him. And we can believe her: if Heather Mills calls someone Scum Of The Earth, it's because she recognizes them from the Scum Of The Earth Meetings, which she attends regularly...

With Van Halen announcing that they are reuniting with original singer David Lee Roth for a tour this summer, comes Van Halen: A Visual History 1978-1984, a 192-page coffee-table-size book of photos. Photographer Neil Zlozower was given exclusive access to the band during their days with Roth, who wrote the foreword for the book. It also contains captions and comments from their producer, Ted Templeman, Gene Simmons, Jimmy Page, Motley Crue, Def Leppard's Joe Elliot, Alice Cooper, and many more. The book can be ordered through Van-Halen-Store-dot-com.

Former Styx singer-keyboard player Dennis DeYoung is working on a new album, his first rock release since 1988. On his website, he writes, "The working title is The Grand Pieces of Paradise. I have decided to return to my roots, and I feel this is my edgiest and rockin'est record ever. Hell, everybody says this same B-S, don't they? Truth be told, the songs do not suck, and if your interested in a middle-aged white guy who can still sing high you just might like it." The working title is a combination of three Styx album titles -- The Grand Illusion, Pieces of Eight and Paradise Theater.

The Police's 30th anniversary reunion world tour will kick off May 28th at Vancouver's G-M Place. The tour moves through North America through early August, then heads to Europe before returning to North America in late October. Ticket prices are expected to average around 225 dollars, 90 dollars and 50 dollars. The tour is sponsored by Best Buy, which will be holding pre-sales for its Reward Zone members. A portion of the proceeds will go to WaterAid, an anti-poverty organization that seeks to provide access to safe water to poor people. Sting admitted that he never expected to do a Police tour, but one morning about three months ago "this light bulb went off in my head -- 'I'm gonna call Andy and Stewart and tell them that we should do a tour.' And I thought, well, it will surprise them." The trio said they'll only be playing Police songs and that they will not employ any backing musicians.

The settlement of The Beatles' lawsuit with Apple Computer has not only cleared the path for the group's albums to be sold through I-Tunes, but every online retailer. Neil Aspinall, the head of Apple Corps, tells Fox News that Beatles music will be available for downloading soon and that "it will be on all the services, not just one." Aspinall says that all 13 albums that were originally released on C-D in 1987 have been remastered and should be available in stores and for download all at the same time.

Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger says the lawsuit filed by drummer John Densmore to stop him and Ray Manzarek from touring under the band's name has put their plans to record a new album with singer Ian Astbury on hold. Densmore won the suit in 2005, causing Krieger and Mazarek to tour under the name Riders on the Storm. Krieger says he's still waiting for a final appeal of the suit to be heard, which won't be for six month. He adds, "I just wish the whole thing would get over with." Krieger says they've got the album about half done and that he thinks "it's gonna be real good."

Just Waking Up - Friday

Anna Nicole Smith, the former Playboy playmate whose bizarre life careened from marrying an octogenarian billionaire to the untimely death of her son, died Thursday after collapsing at a South Florida hotel, one of her lawyers said. (Orlando Sentinel)

A very sad end for the former Guess Jeans girl who made us all think of Marilyn Monroe all those years ago. She had an interesting run, major highs, major lows, and died ridiculed and unrespected by most of the public that used to have her pinned up all over their prepubescent walls...

This is made all the more tragic when you think about her new baby girl.

GRATEFUL DEAD: Garcia's Widow Sues Herself!

Jerry Garcia's widow wants the rights to her late husband's unpublished tapes -- and to get them, she's suing a company that she's actually part owner of. Deborah Koons Garcia charges that other partners in the limited liability corporation Jerry Garcia Estate L-L-C, which oversees the so-called "Garcia Tapes," are hampering her efforts to have the tapes professionally restored. She also says the corporation had been scheduled to dissolve by December 31st, 2005, but continues to exist. Late last year, one of the guitarist's daughters sued Koons Garcia over the workings of the same corporation. A California judge has scheduled a hearing on the matter for April 13th.

ASTRONAUT LISA NOWAK HELD ON ATTEMPTED FIRST-DEGREE MURDER CHARGE IN LOVE-TRIANGLE CASE

Astronaut accused of stalking romance rival
(GulfNews)
Orlando, Florida: A US astronaut was to be charged with attempted murder, after police arrested her for allegedly attacking and trying to kidnap a rival for the affection of a space shuttle pilot, CNN reported, citing a Florida prisons spokesman, yesterday.

Lisa Nowak, 43, will not be released from jail, Florida's Orange County prisons spokesman Allen Moore told CNN.

A Florida court earlier granted her $15,000 bail and ordered her to wear a tracking device after she was charged with attempted kidnapping, battery, attempted burglary of a car and destruction of evidence. "She was about to be released when the Orlando police department showed up with an additional charge of attempted first degree murder," Orange county prisons spokesman Allen Moore told CNN.

Nowak, 43, was expected to appear at a hearing on the new charge Tuesday.

US Navy Captain Nowak, who flew on the space shuttle Discovery last July, drove from Houston to Orlando - wearing diapers so she wouldn't have to stop to urinate - to assault a woman she considered competition for the affections of a male astronaut, police said.

A flight engineer with three children, she disguised herself in a dark wig, glasses and trench coat to confront Colleen Shipman at Orlando International Airport but said she "only wanted to scare" the woman, police said.

Wearing a jail uniform, shackled at the waist and head bowed, Nowak said little during her first court appearance on a video link from the Orange County jail, where she was held on charges of attempted kidnapping, attempted burglary of a vehicle and battery.

Nowak went to Orlando airport around midnight on Sunday night, waited for Shipman's flight from Houston to arrive and then followed Shipman to the parking garage armed with pepper spray, a steel mallet and a BB gun, police said. She also carried black gloves, a folding knife with a 10cm blade, rubber tubing and trash bags, police said.

In her statement to police, Nowak said she did not intend to physically harm Shipman but "only wanted to scare Ms Shipman into talking with her".

In the statement, Nowak described her connection to male astronaut Bill Oefelein as "more than a working relationship but less than a romantic relationship".

As for them moving on with Eddie Van Halen's son Wolfgang on bass instead of original member Michael Anthony, Hagar said, "I think that's a disaster." Hagar plans to be on hand next month for the Hall of Fame ceremony. Dates will be announced soon.

Eric Clapton's camp would not confirm reports that he's planning a second Crossroads Guitar Festival, this time in Chicago on July 28th. Clapton is on tour in Australia with shows in Brisbane tomorrow night and Wednesday. He threatened to boycott a show in New Zealand last month when he discovered that the winery where he was playing had produced a special edition wine bearing his name. Clapton, a recovering alcoholic, was not pleased. Mission Estate Winery chief executive Peter Holley tells Hawke's Bay Today, "On legal advice, we elected not to make the wine available for sale... The matter has been resolved to everyone's satisfaction."

A group of John Lennon fans have started a petition asking people to boycott the upcoming movie about his assassination, Chapter 27. So far more than two-thousand people have signed the online petition at BoycottChapter27.org.

Don Henley continues to be hopeful that the Eagles will release their long overdue studio album before the summer. He tells Billboard about the sessions, saying, "Some days it feels good. Some days it's challenging. It's exhilarating. It's worrisome. It's joyous... It always has been. It's no different from what it ever is. It's just that there are more distractions now with families and charities and lawsuits."

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are making a so-called "groundbreaking, historic announcement" about Ozzfest today at the Concert Industry Consortium in Los Angeles. Rumors about this year's festival are picking up steam, including scaling it back to arenas, with only five acts on the bill besides Ozzy.
