 WASHINGTON, May 18 — John McCain is 71 years old, and his age has provided late-night comics with some easy punch lines. On "Saturday Night Live," he joined in.
"I ask you, what should we be looking for in our next president?" McCain said. "Certainly, someone who is very, very, very old." The certain Republican presidential nominee appeared in a phony campaign ad in which he promised to put an end to runaway government spending, claiming he had never sought money for his home state, Arizona. "Controlling government spending isn't just about Republicans or Democrats," he said. "It's about being able to look your children in the eye.

 CANNES, May 18 — Mike Tyson considers it a miracle that he lived to tell his tale. And he's telling it - in graphic detail - in a new documentary at the Cannes Film Festival.
"I lived a wild and extreme life," the former heavyweight champion told reporters yesterday. "I used drugs. I had altercations with dangerous people. I slept with guys' wives that wanted to kill me. I'm just happy to be here, you know. It's just a miracle." The 41-year-old former boxer got a prolonged ovation at the Cannes screening for "Tyson," directed by his old friend James Toback ("Fingers").

LOS ANGELES, May 18 — Loni Anderson was married Saturday to Bob Flick, a founding member of the 1960s folk group The Brothers Four. The ceremony was attended by friends and family, including son Quinton Reynolds, who walked the "WKRP in Cincinnati" and "Nurses" star down the aisle. Reynolds is Anderson's son with Burt Reynolds, whom she divorced in 1993. Flick met Anderson at a movie premiere in her native Minneapolis a few years after his group hit No. 2 on the pop charts with "Greenfields" in 1960. A local newspaper had sent her out to pose with the group as the "lucky young fan," an image that was used Saturday night as the couple's wedding poster, her publicist, Cheryl Kagan, told The Associated Press. |

CANNES, May 17 — Indiana Jones doesn't give up his secrets lightly, and neither does the man pulling his strings. Director Steven Spielberg has tried to keep chapter four of the archaeologist's big-screen adventures, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," under wraps as tight as an ancient mummy's. The stealth approach has whipped up a frenzy of expectation — and doubts about the movie's quality — as he prepares to unveil it in front of the world's toughest audience, critics at the Cannes Film Festival. The film premieres here tomorrow, just four days before it opens in theatres worldwide. |

CANNES, May 17 — With his follow-up to "Fahrenheit 9/11," Michael Moore wants to examine America as an empire, study its standing since the Sept 11 attacks and present revelations to surprise audiences as much as the first film did.

"To just say it's a sequel is so wrong," Moore said yesterday at the Cannes Film Festival, where he met with potential international distributors for the film, due out in 2009. The documentary announced this week at Cannes will be a broader chronicle than "Fahrenheit 9/11," which took US President Bush to task over the terrorist attacks and the Iraq war. |
