| Hip-Hop Rumors: Chingy Gets Mad! Is Lauryn Broke? Where is Wendy ...
All my Delaware, Philly and South Jersey people, I have the low down on where Wendy Williams and Charlamange went! From what I heard, there is a lot of corporate and business wrangling over Wendy in the city of Brotherly Love on Power 99 FM. I don't have specifics, but they are looking to return to Philly's airwaves asap. The only thing is, it might not be on Power 99. You know, where Wendy goes, the people go. I am pleased to announced that according to what I know, Wendy and C are going to be landing in Los Angeles later this month. That's what Beyonce calls a good look better yet a hood look.

Sources say Hill was living in the Caribbean for a while as the mother of four children by Rohan Marley, son of the late Bob Marley.

My Body, My Self
The screen displays, in plain black-and-white text, the focus of Newmark's daily life -- much of it, anyway. It's in an e-mail program called Pine, favored by geeks of all ages, partly because it renders the mouse nearly useless. Pine users are, like Newmark, the type who derive an almost perverse pleasure from deleting a message by simply pressing the "D" key, rather than undertaking the laborious task of clicking on a trash can icon. Newmark pores over his inbox, which receives about 300 messages daily. Clack. Clack. Clack. Click-ity-clack-ca-clack. Every so often, he turns to the left, and his own moving image, collected by a computer video camera, stares back at him from a small laptop screen. Newmark is a young-looking 52, despite his nearly bald pate and stout physique.
NBH posts fiscal gains
NORTH ADAMS After losing money for six consecutive years, Northern Berkshire Healthcare found black ink in fiscal 2007, officials said yesterday. Richard T. Palmisano, CEO of NBH, the parent company of North Adams Regional Hospital, said the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, 2007, showed a surplus of $325,000 on $78.4 million in total revenue. "We had an excellent year last year," Palmisano said. "But we're not out of the woods yet. To make a profit of $300,000 in an $80 million budget is nothing. So I don't mean to imply that the turnaround is complete." He said that a $2 million essential community provider grant from the state helped get the budget back in the black, and that he hopes to get the institution to the point where that grant is no longer a part of the profit-and-loss formula.
Beginning of the end for 568 Group oligopoly
There is nothing I love more than a good old-fashioned oligopoly in academia. Trouble is, not everyone knows how to communicate with the wink of an eye or a chummy old pat on the back over whiskeys in your “drawing rooms." Damn literalists may look at you like you have a third eyeball just above your nose when you propose a little “arrangement" or a small “exchange." They just can't seem to get the hushed message unless you spell it out word for word. .
Herschel’s new book; UGA’s hoops future
Wow, what a weird day. I meant to post earlier but I ended up spending all afternoon chasing a bizarre story on Herschel Walker. If you haven't seen it yet, apparently Walker has written an autobiography called "Breaking Free" that will be published by Simon and Schuster and released on August 12 this summer. It's about — and I confirmed this through the publisher — Walker living with multiple-personality disorder. Very little information is available about the book (which you can preorder for $24.95 at Amazon.com) and, as anybody in this business can tell you, you can get the Pope on the phone easier than you can Herschel Walker. So I've left messages all over the place but we can't reach him to talk about it. Meanwhile, I talked to Vince Dooley and Frank Ros, two of Herschel's closest friends here in Georgia, and neither of them knew anything about Herschel having MPD or any other psychological disorder and certainly not that he was writing a book about it.
Ashley Tisdale's Nose Nipped
There's something about blond singer-actresses named Ashley and surgical procedures of the nasal variety. This time around, however, Ashley Tisdale is seeking to preempt tabloidal before-and-after schnoz shots, admitting that she underwent a rhinoplasty procedure in Los Angeles on Friday. But the 22-year-old High School Musical star is adamant the procedure was not done for cosmetic purposes. "Growing up, I always knew I had a deviated septum on the right side of my nose, which caused trouble breathing," she told People. "The older I got, the worse it got. I went to get it checked out, and the doctor told me the septum was 80 percent deviated and that I had two small fractures on my nose." Still in bandages from the five-hour procedure, Tisdale took care to assure fans she hadn't gone under the knife for a more photogenic profile and should not be looked to as an advocate of the plasticizing of Hollywood.
Dream ride to Cape, but a nightmare driving home
For thousands of visitors, going to Cape Cod over Memorial Day weekend was much easier and more pleasant than heading home. The new $60 million flyover, which erased the hated rotary at the base of the Sagamore Bridge, smoothed Cape-bound travel on Friday and Saturday. But drivers returning from the Cape Monday found themselves in a worse-than-usual traffic nightmare, with backups that stretched as far as 17 miles to Yarmouth at midafternoon. To avoid a repeat this summer, state transportation officials said yesterday they plan to install electronic signs urging vacationers to stagger their departure from the Cape as well as their arrival. Officials said they will also look at possible changes to the roadways around Exit 1, where Route 6A merges into Route 6 at the base of the bridge.
