5 Stars For Accuracy

'An Inconvenient Truth'

The nation's top climate scientists are giving "An Inconvenient Truth," Al Gore's documentary on global warming, five stars for accuracy.

The former vice president's movie - replete with the prospect of a flooded New York City, an inundated Florida, more and nastier hurricanes, worsening droughts, retreating glaciers and disappearing ice sheets - mostly got the science right, said all 19 climate scientists who had seen the movie or read the book and answered questions from The Associated Press.

The AP contacted more than 100 top climate researchers by e-mail and phone for their opinion. Among those contacted were vocal skeptics of climate change theory. Most scientists had not seen the movie, which is in limited release, or read the book.

But those who have seen it had the same general impression: Gore conveyed the science correctly; the world is getting hotter and it is a manmade catastrophe-in-the-making caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

Rhythm & Soul Music Awards

ASCAP

Rapper 50 Cent and producer-writer-executive Jermaine Dupri split songwriter of the year honors at ASCAP's Rhythm & Soul Music Awards, presented Monday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Named songwriter of the year at the performing rights organization's Pop Music Awards last month, 50 Cent was honored for his contribution to five of the year's most-performed songs -- "Candy Shop," "Disco Inferno," "Hate It Or Love It," "How We Do" and "Just a Lil Bit." "Candy Shop" also took the award for ringtone of the year.

Dupri, president of urban music at Virgin Records America, was a key player in the success of Mariah Carey's 2005 smash "The Emancipation of Mimi." ASCAP recognized him for his writing work on "Let Me Hold You," "Like You," "My Boo," "Shake It Off" and "We Belong Together."

ASCAP bestowed its Golden Note Award on LL Cool J for his contributions to hip-hop. R&B luminary Bill Withers received the ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Heritage Award.

Bankruptcy Sale Ahead

Adelphia

Time Warner Cable said on Tuesday a bankruptcy judge has approved it and Comcast Corp.'s planned $17.6 billion acquisition of Adelphia Communications Corp.'s cable system assets.

The approval means the last remaining hurdle for the Adelphia sale is with the Federal Communications Commission. Last week, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said he expected the agency to complete its review of the deal by mid-July.

If approved, the deal would transfer Adelphia's 5 million subscribers to the two cable giants, who will share the bankrupt operator's cable systems assets.

Birthday Special

Tony Bennett

Tony Bennett will celebrate his 80th birthday in style -- with a star-studded music special on NBC to be directed and executive produced by "Chicago" helmer Rob Marshall.

"Tony Bennett: An American Classic" is based on Bennett's upcoming album featuring duets with some of the music business's biggest names. A number of them -- including Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Diana Krall, k.d. lang, Michael Buble, John Legend, Juanes, trumpeter Chris Botti and violinist Pinchas Zukerman -- will perform with Bennett on the show.

"American Classic" has begun filming at the historic Los Angeles Theater in downtown Los Angeles. The special is set to air in the fall in conjunction with the September 26 release of Bennett's RPM Records/Columbia Records album "Tony Bennett: Duets/An American Classic," which also includes duets with Bono, Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, Sting, Dixie Chicks, Elvis Costello, Billy Joel and Tim McGraw. The first single from the album will be released on Bennett's 80th birthday, August 3.

TV's Lois and Jimmy Return

Noel Neill & Jack Larson

Noel Neill and Jack Larson spent some of their best years in bondage, trussed up together waiting for Superman to break down a wall and save them.

The actors who played Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen on the 1950s TV show "Adventures of Superman" are back at it with bit parts in "Superman Returns" - Neill as a dying heiress, Larson as a bartender.

"Superman Returns" director Bryan Singer grew up a fan of the TV show, which starred the late George Reeves as the Man of Steel. So when it came time to do his own take on Superman, Singer made sure to have Reeves' old comrades on hand.

Wearing a Superman lapel pin and a wide belt buckle with the Superman logo, Neill spoke over iced tea alongside Larson at Patrick's Roadhouse, a breakfast and lunch spot along the Santa Monica beaches that's the site of a hamburger joint the two used to hang out at in the 1950s. Both still live nearby.

Temporary Department of Sanitation Employee

Boy George

Boy George, garbage man. The one-time Culture Club singer will do five days of court-ordered community service as an employee of the Department of Sanitation, a spokesman for the city agency confirmed Tuesday.

"He will be part of our team," said sanitation spokesman Keith Mellis. "We won't know exactly what he will be doing for several weeks, though."

The singer born George O'Dowd, who has struggled with drug problems for years, was ordered to do community service after pleading guilty in March to false reporting of an incident. He called police with a bogus report of a burglary at his lower Manhattan apartment last October, and the responding officers found cocaine inside.

Star Jones Reynolds

The gloves are off for the women on "The View." Creator Barbara Walters said she was "betrayed" by Star Jones Reynolds' surprise on-air announcement of her exit from the daytime talk show Tuesday. Reynolds said in a magazine interview she felt she was fired.

Either way, the "help wanted" sign is up again at the show, months after it was announced that Rosie O'Donnell was replacing Meredith Vieira as a cast member in the fall.

Reynolds' exit had been rumored for months, intensifying Tuesday after reports on "Access Hollywood" and in the New York tabloids that an announcement would be coming soon.

Still, Walters said she was taken by complete surprise when Reynolds announced her departure after the first commercial break on Tuesday. The announcement had been planned for Thursday, she said.

Michael Jackson has fired his business managers, has hired a New York firm to oversee his financial affairs and is moving to Europe, his spokeswoman said Tuesday.

His longtime spokeswoman, Raymone K. Bain, said in a statement that she has been named general manager of the new Michael Jackson Co., which will replace Jackson's MJJ Productions.

Jackson has severed ties with his Bahraini lawyers and his longtime accountants and business managers, Bernstein, Fox, Whitman, Goldman & Sloan. Bain said he has hired L. Londell McMillan and The McMillan firm, "known for business restructurings and turnarounds."

Bringing Back Spanish Fiction

Gwinnett County Public Library

Faced with public protests, the public library board in a county with a large Hispanic population is expected to restore the funding it cut for Spanish-language fiction.

Trustees of the Gwinnett County Public Library will meet Wednesday to ratify the decision before the library's budget year begins July 1, officials said.

"We heard from people on both sides of the issue and we heard from a lot of the press," board Chairman Lloyd Breck told The Gwinnett Daily Post. "We are choosing to restore that line item. ... We were not trying to send any signal, but everyone seemed to think we were."

Leg-Biting Incident

Axl Rose

Axl Rose spent most of the day in a Stockholm jail cell after allegedly biting a security guard in the leg at his hotel, police said.

The Guns N' Roses frontman was arrested early Tuesday after attacking and threatening the guard and causing damage to the Berns Hotel, where the alleged scuffle took place, police spokeswoman Towe Hagg said.

Rose was released from jail that evening, after he admitted to the charges and agreed to pay a fine of $5,500, Hagg said.

The 44-year-old rocker was also ordered to pay $1,360 in damages to the security guard, she said.

Feds Drop Request

Library Records

Federal authorities have dropped their demand for records from a library computer, but not without warning the librarians who refused to release them that under other circumstances their failure to cooperate "could have increased the danger of terrorists succeeding."

The FBI said Monday that it has discounted a potential terrorism threat that prompted it to seek records last year from a computer at one of 26 Connecticut libraries that are part of a consortium called the Library Connection.

The American Civil Liberties Union, which represented the librarians who received the demand for records, said the librarians might have been willing to comply with a similar demand had it been approved by a judge.

Study Shows All Vulnerable

US Electronic Voting Machines

The nation's three most commonly purchased electronic voting machines are all vulnerable to fraud, a study released on Tuesday found.

The Brennan Center Task Force on Voting System Security, an initiative of the Brennan Center, conducted the study, which it called the most comprehensive study of electronic voting machines to date.

Larry Norden, chairman of the task force of government and private scientists, voting machine experts and security officials said about 80 percent of voters will vote on one of these electronic systems in November mid-term elections.

Changes Colors

'Mud Snake'

Scientists in Indonesia have discovered a new and mysterious species of snake in the depths of rain forest-clad Borneo which has the ability to change colours, the WWF conservation group has said.

The half-meter long snake, known locally as a "mud snake", was collected by a WWF consultant and a German reptile expert in the wetlands along the Kapuas River in West Kalimantan more than a year ago.

"It has since been established that it is really a new species," the WWF's Iwan Wibisono said.

In Memory

Arthur Malvin

Arthur Malvin, a composer and lyricist who won two Emmy Awards for his work with Carol Burnett and Frank Sinatra, died June 16 after a long illness, his daughter said. He was 83.

Malvin won an Emmy in 1968 for writing music for a Frank Sinatra television special, "A Man and His Music + Ella + Jobim," which featured Ella Fitzgerald and Brazilian bossa nova singer Antonio Carlos Jobim.

In 1978, Malvin and Stan Freeman shared an Emmy for "Hi-Hat," a Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers parody they wrote for "The Carol Burnett Show." He worked on the CBS variety program for 11 years.

He was nominated for a Tony award in 1980 for material he wrote for "Sugar Babies," a burlesque-themed play starring Mickey Rooney and Ann Miller.

He also sang on children's records and recorded advertising jingles for products including Sominex, Blue Bonnet margarine and Tang drink mix, said Janet Malvin, his daughter.

With several more eggs on the conical nests, zookeepers are hoping more of the downy gray chicks will soon join the flock. Both male and female flamingos sit on the nests and raise and feed the young birds.
