What's a hungry girl to do about her meat? Rich or poor, we're getting kicked where it hurts — right in our growling stomachs. Every meal is an unhappy meal. First, it's foie gras; now it's KFC. I was on the verge of sending away to PETA for my "free vegetarian starter kit" after I got a load of the new Pam Anderson video: Here's the Baywatch chick, plump and juicy breasts for once unexposed, looking practically schoolmarmish, cluck-clucking away about cruelty-free chicken and urging me to boycott Colonel Sanders. Is this a fricking topsy-turvy world we live in or what? .

Pete Doherty and Kate Moss Documentary?

Pete Doherty and Kate Moss are reportedly filming a documentary of themselves that will be pieced together from video diaries like this one floating around YouTube. Kate does her part to draw interest by wearing a see through dress and Pete plays a little diddy with Kate chiming in here and there. In the middle of the tune, Kate adds "Sonny and Cher we're not." True, but as I've said before they may be the new Sid and Nancy. Although, it appears they'll document their own adventure. These guys are clearly just one crazy night away from Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson territory. Bring it on! .

Mermaids at Florida attraction swimming in controversy

NOSTALGIA and a timely flood of donations saved the tails of the Weeki Wachee Springs mermaids a few years ago when the vintage Florida roadside attraction nearly succumbed to age and indifference.

The mermaids are still swimming for appreciative audiences in this tiny town an hour north of Tampa, but the waters are far from calm.

The newly spruced up theme park remains embroiled in a distasteful dispute over its lease with a state agency that Weeki Wachee Springs' owners say could spell the end for one of the remaining tourist gems of old Florida, celebrating its 60th anniversary this year.

But the agency, the Southwest Florida Water Management District, which owns the spring and surrounding land and leases it to the attraction, says Weeki Wachee Springs owners are the ones being obstinate and denies that it wants the place shut down.

Music DVD Review: Evanescence - Anywhere But Home

When I first began hearing Evanescence's epic debut single "Bring Me To Life" on the radio and all over MTV while Ben Affleck was flying across the screen in a red Daredevil suit, I was first inclined to dismiss them as just another cheesy nu-metal band, who just so happens to be fronted by some gothic high priestess who can belt out the opera-meets-metal vocals with the best of them. But, damn if that adrenalin pumping song hasn't become permanently ingrained in my head - ask my wife how annoying it is to hear me scream that rap-metal chorus "wake me up... I can't wake up... SAAAAVE ME!" every time I play the damn song. The rest of the song's parent album, Fallen, has also proven to be just as infectious, going on to sell nearly 15 million albums worldwide, and helping the band win the Best New Artist Grammy.The priestess in question is non other than singer, pianist, and songwriter Amy Lee, who founded Evanescence in 1998 with guitarist Ben Moody, and she has been a breath of fresh air in this male-dominated world of rock/metal vocalists.
