Wie golfs with role model Rice By The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Teenage golfer Michelle Wie couldn’t believe she played golf with one of her role models, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. “I was like, ‘Oh my God, it’s the secretary of state.’ They put me in charge of driving her around” in a golf cart, Wie told Time magazine for its issue on newsstands Monday. “I was like, if I crash, the secretary of state goes down with me,” the 16-year-old Hawaiian high school junior said. When asked what she thought of radio host Rush Limbaugh calling her a “triumph of marketing,” Wie, the No. 2 ranked woman golfer, said, “Huh? Who’s that?” When told he hosts a radio talk show, she said, “I don’t listen to the radio much.” NEW YORK — Olympic gold medal skier Jonny Moseley is no longer eligible for People magazine’s top bachelors list. Moseley married his longtime girlfriend and business manager Malia Rich on Saturday in front of 130 guests in Telluride, Colo., the magazine reported on its Web site Saturday. It was followed by a reception at a private mountaintop resort. Moseley, 30, met Rich, 29, in high school, and the couple started dating five years ago and got engaged in April 2003, the magazine reported. It’s their first marriage. A two-time World Cup champ who won gold in freestyle skiing in the 1998 Olympics, Moseley was listed on People’s list of Top 50 bachelors in 2002. NEW YORK — For actress Lily Tomlin, the 9to-5 workday sounds quaint these days. The star of the 1980 film “Nine to Five” — about three women who turn the tables on their oppressive male boss — Tomlin said the world now “is just so pressured.” “Look at the generation we’re creating, with Survivor and all that stuff,” she told Time magazine for its issue on newsstands Monday. “You’re supposed to outwit everybody and double-deal,” she said. “Nine to Five was trying to bring a female sensibility to the corporate world, which can really grind you down to nothing.” The 25th anniversary edition of the movie is set to be released on DVD this spring. MYSTIC, Conn. — Ernest Hemingway’s 40-
foot, black-hulled fishing boat, the Pilar, could be getting a little restorative nip and tuck. Local watercraft preservation specialist Dana Hewson and members of the Boston-based Hemingway Preservation Foundation are heading to Finca Vigia, Hemingway’s estate in Cuba, where he will photograph and examine the Pilar. “Professionally, this is a really fascinating project for me,” Hewson told The Day of New London. He works at Mystic Seaport. Hemingway sailed the boat when he lived in Cuba from 1939 to 1960, and is said to have conceived some of his greatest works, including “The Old Man and the Sea,” while on board. The National Trust for Historic Preservation placed the boat on its 2005 list of America’s 11 Most Endangered Historic Places even though it’s not in the United States. The Boston group is working with the Cuban government to preserve the Pilar, along with Hemingway’s home and thousands of Hemingway drafts, manuscripts, letters, photographs and books stored there. The fear is that the warm, humid conditions will eventually damage the papers, which include the never-published epilogue of “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” LOS ANGELES — Angela Lansbury is thrilled with knee replacement surgery, saying it has allowed her to dance again. “I’m not going to be dancing with the stars at this stage in my life,” the four-time Tony Award winner said. “But I want to dance and bop around, and I did, and I can.” The 80-year-old actress, who is seeking to educate women about the procedure, says she had been “crippled” by intolerable knee pain for years. “I want to tell women: Don’t put it off,” said Lansbury. She said she waited until last July to have the surgery — which replaces deteriorating cartilage of the knee joint with metal and plastic — because she feared it would be too painful. In addition to her role as crime novelist Jessica Fletcher in the long-running TV series “Murder She Wrote,” and starring roles on Broadway, Lansbury’s credits include the 1962 movie “The Manchurian Candidate.” LOS ANGELES — Actor Keith Carradine is suing Anthony Pellicano claiming the indicted Hollywood detective invaded his privacy by
wiretapping his phone line. Carradine and his fiancee allege in the complaint filed Friday that Pellicano conspired with the actor’s ex-wife and two former phone company workers to illegally eavesdrop on their conversations. The lawsuit says Sandra Carradine was trying to gain an advantage in divorce proceedings. She also is named in the suit. Pellicano’s lawyer, Steven Gruel, would not comment. Peter Knecht, attorney for Sandra Carradine, said jurors would sympathize with her. “She was being a good mother, trying to find out how to get support for her kids,” he said. Pellicano, who has worked for some of Hollywood’s biggest names, was charged last month in a wiretapping scandal that has rattled the city’s entertainment and legal circles. He is also accused of bribing police officers to run the names of more than 60 people through government databases. Sandra Carradine has pleaded guilty to perjury for lying to a grand jury when she denied knowing about Pellicano’s alleged wiretaps. She could face up to 10 years in prison. ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Jay Leno has won a round in court with a ruling that comedy deserves a break. A state appeals court ruled that a lower court should have dismissed a lawsuit that a woman filed against the “Tonight Show” host and NBC. The lawsuit by Claire Walter, 40, of Irondequoit, claimed Leno violated the state’s Civil Rights Law by commercially using an unflattering photo of her in an on-air joke without her permission in 2003. The photo was taken for internal use at her former employer, Dorschel Automotive Group Inc. According to the lawsuit, Leno said “a customer would not want to have their car serviced by someone like Ms. Walter. There were comments about (the) plaintiff being scary looking, being big.” The appeals court cited an exception to the law regarding use of photos for comedic purposes. Walter’s lawyer protested the ruling. “Just because you’re a comic doesn’t give you the right to take someone who is an obscure person and make fun of the way someone looks,” attorney Nira Kermisch said. Christopher Thomas, a Rochester attorney representing Leno and NBC, declined to comment.
