1. Carol Burnett -- National Enquirer
   Carol gave part of the money she gained from her lawsuit against The National Enquirer to the University of Hawaii and the University of California at Berkeley to be used for awards for ethics in journalism. (edit)
2. Cincinnati Enquirer
   The Cincinnati Enquirer, a daily morning newspaper, is the highest-circulation print publication in Greater Cincinnati (Ohio) and Northern Kentucky. (The Enquirer publishes a Northern Kentucky edition under the title The Kentucky Enquirer with a front section, though the lead story is usually the same.) A Gannett Co. Inc. newspaper, The Enquirer had a joint operating agreement with the afternoon daily, The Cincinnati Post, and handled all of the business functions of both newspapers. Gannett Co. Inc. notified E. W. Scripps Company, publisher of The Post, in 2004 that they will not renew the JOA again. The Post ceased publishing on December 31, 2007.
3. Elizabeth Taylor -- National Velvet
   The following year, Elizabeth Taylor signed a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and landed the part of an English heiress in the successful film Lassie Come Home. MGM was the biggest and best studio of the time and employed stars such as Greta Garbo, Judy Garland, Katherine Hepburn, and Joan Crawford. In 1943 Taylor was cast opposite Mickey Rooney in National Velvet, the story of a young woman who wins a horse in the lottery and eventually rides it in England's Grand National Steeplechase. Taylor was so determined to play the role that she exercised and dieted for four months. During filming, she was thrown from a horse and suffered a broken back, but forced herself to finish the project. Her dedication was well rewarded and National Velvet became both a critical and commercial success.
4. George Bush -- United Nations
   In his fourth year Bush continued his emphasis on foreign affairs. He put more pressure on Israel to end its construction of new settlements in the West Bank by linking continued American foreign aid to Israeli policies regarding that disputed territory. He insisted that Iraq dismantle its strategic weapons and won United Nations sanctions against Libya until that nation agreed to turn over terrorists for trial in the 1988 bombing of a Pan Am passenger jet. He vetoed a Democratic bill to end “most favored nation” treatment of China (a policy giving it the lowest tariffs on goods exported to the United States), and his veto was sustained. At the end of 1992 he sent marines and other military personnel into Somalia to provide protection for relief workers alleviating the famine in that country. In early 1993 the United States and Russia signed a nuclear arms reduction agreement.
5. Christmas Tree -- National Christmas Tree
   The General Grant Tree is a living memorial to the men and women of the United States who have given their lives in service to their country. It was proclaimed a National Shrine on March 29, 1956 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The official dedication was made that year on Veterans Day, November 11, by the president's personal representative, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz. Each year during the Christmas ceremony, park rangers place a large wreath at the base of the Grant Tree, remembering those who gave their lives.
6. Jackie Gleason -- Nixon February
   Gleason, in real life, was a hard drinker, but he once told of a six-hour talk session with Richard Nixon where both drank Scotch. At the end of the evening, Gleason said he could barely stagger from the room, while Nixon walked out "as straight as a soldier".
7. Terry Hansen -- Ufo Research
   Terry Hansen believes the U.S. govt. has used both censorship and propaganda to cover-up the existence of UFOs. He has gathered together [S]upporting documents on his website. Pictured is a front page New York Times article from 1954 in which Pres. Eisenhower denied that "flying saucers" came from outer space.
8. Juliette Lewis -- Brad Pitt
   Juliette Lewis and Brad Pitt used to date in the early 90s. Recently, Juliette was asked about Brad after she finished playing a set with her band at Seattle's Chop Suey. Mike Walker of the National Enquirer claims a dude when up to Juliette and asked,
9. Elvis -- World
   If the visit, the first time a sitting president has toured Graceland, resembled an Elvis lovefest, it was a Bush-Koizumi lovefest as well, orchestrated by the White House to spotlight the close relationship between Japan and the United States. Mr. Koizumi, who will step down in September, is among Mr. Bush's closest friends on the world stage; the trip was both a farewell gift and a thank you for Japan's support on the war on terror.
10. Kanye -- Mother
    Following the tragic death of Donda West, mother of hip-hop star Kanye West, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) reminds consumers that plastic surgery is real surgery and outlines several important recommendations when considering plastic surgery.
