Sounds like Anna made a grand ol’ fool of herself
Anna Nicole Smith has had yet another wardrobe malfunction. The merry widow and diet-pill plugger startled the crowd at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry by flashing the audience.
“She was onstage dancing with some cloggers when she broke loose from her partner and did her own thing,” said one stunned ticket-holder. “She was shimmying around, shaking her breasts, and lifted up her skirt in a sort of square-dance/can-can move and gave the audience a view of her panties.
“And then she did some sort of crazy dance where she turned around and stuck her butt out at the audience and lifted her skirt. At one point, her breast popped out.”
The source says the crowd at the famed country music hall – which included singing legend Loretta Lynn – “didn’t seem to know what to make of Anna’s antics but seemed to be having a good time.
“Even the folks in the cheap seats got their money’s worth because most of it was on the big video screens.”
Diller takes a spiller
Phyllis Diller injured her head and neck after falling out of bed at her Brentwood mansion this week.
The 87-year-old comedian was hospitalized after the accident early Monday, her manager said. She was undergoing diagnostic tests, including tests on her pacemaker that was inserted in 1999.
Diller recently released a book about her life called “Like a Lampshade in a Whorehouse.”
Moore money for free speech
Michael Moore has established a scholarship for students who defy the administration at California State University, San Marcos – the school that canceled a talk by the filmmaker last year.
The Michael Moore Freedom of Speech Scholarship will award $2,500 each to two Cal State San Marcos students “who have done the most to fight for issues of student rights by standing up to the administration.”
Cal State San Marcos President Karen Hynes revoked the outspokenly liberal Moore’s invitation to speak last fall because she said the school was prohibited from spending state money on partisan political activity.
He was just taking a shortcut
A Georgia police officer will be reprimanded for not giving a speeding ticket to former child television star Emmanuel Lewis.
Lewis, the former star of the ‘80s television series “Webster,” got off with only a verbal warning when he gave his autograph and posed for a photo with the police officer and the police chief in Warwick, Ga. He was clocked driving through town at 70 mph in a 45 mph zone while towing a trailer loaded with an SUV.
Although police officers can use discretion in issuing tickets, the Warwick City Council concluded Tuesday that Officer Ron Kirk‘s actions were improper.

Raspy-voiced Tom Waits, on a Scandinavian car commercial that uses a sound-alike singer: “Commercials are an unnatural use of my work. It’s like having a cow’s udder sewn to the side of my face: painful and humiliating.”
