Ninety-three year old 1970s Hungarian TV hottie Zsa Zsa Gabor was treated in a Los Angeles hospital for a broken hip.  Fifteen paparazzi stationed on the front lawn when she checked out had misread her admission form and were expecting Lady Gaga.  

Leslie Margolin, president of California Blue Cross, roundly criticized for attempting to double the cost of its health insurance, has resigned.  She’s not worried however, telling reporters, “ I have a pre-existing other job.”

Media giants including Warner Bros. and Microsoft have introduced “UltraViolet,” a new technology that allows users to carry all of their movies, TV shows, and music on any device anywhere.  In a related story, the producers of “Dancing With the Stars” will soon offer a chip which can be embedded in a fan’s neck.

Customs inspectors at Mexico City’s International Airport arrested a man who had just arrived from Lima, Peru with 18 monkeys hidden in his pants.  He’d have slipped by if he’d had a better explanation for his half-eaten crate of bananas.

Tiger Woods finished tied for a disappointing tenth in the British Open but told a reporter green-side that his putting improved when he  finally discovered the sweet spot -- that wasn’t in the back seat of his Escalade.

"Having spent twenty years writing for the indefatigable Bob Hope, and traveling all over the world, Bob Mills is well qualified to salute the famous corps of gag men who kept the comedian knee-deep in jokes. These first-hand recollections summon up the final phase of Hope’s career—and the end of the trail for an entire brand of show business."

WakiLeaks: History Declassified 2000 (Vol. One) is now available on Kindle for $2.99

Compiled from Bob's newsletter "Funnyside Up" published in 2000. This is a yuck and chuckle-filled stroll down memory lane to a time before the Bush administration had inflicted its damage -- a time before the search for WMDs and Osama bin Laden. See what we were laughing at back then, who was in the news and who had yet to enter rehab -- which NFL stars had yet to do time in the Gray Bar Hotel.
