Lucy Lawless flees hurricane
Lucy Lawless, star of the TV programme Xena: Warrior Princess, is still recovering from a nightmare escape from New Orleans to avoid Hurricane Katrina. The New Zealand actress fled the US city with the masses when officials issued a mandatory evacuation alert over the weekend, as the category five storm threatened. She says, "The traffic was going one-mile-per hour sometimes, then it was two-miles-per hour, then five. It took nine hours for what should have taken 50-55 minutes." Lucy was in town shooting a new movie, Vampire Bats.

Over the Teacups
My sister took my 10-year-old nephew and two of his friends to a magic show. They were all very impressed with the performance, which included rabbits being pulled out of a hat and a disappearing woman. On the way home, one of the boys said, “I wonder where the magician put the lady that disappeared?” My nephew answered knowingly, “Probably up his sleeve.” His friend nodded, apparently satisfied.
