LA health authorities are baffled by a strange virus that infected guests of Hugh Hefner who ate a meal at the Playboy mansion.  Doctors didn’t know there was such a thing as sexually transmitted salmonella.

Among the top sellers at the New York Toy Fair:  the “Lady Gaga Barbie” that comes with a choice of costumes or a 3- pound balogna… the “Spider Man Game” complete with splints and plaster-of-Paris, and the Lindsay Lohan “Let’s Rob a Jewelry Store Kit” (glass-cutter optional).     

Top box office grosser last weekend was “Just Go With It” starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Anniston.  In one scene, they visit Jen’s old cast-mates on “Friends” who are lawn bowling at a senior retirement center.

This year’s Academy Awards will be hosted by James Franco and Anne Hathaway, the first non-comedians to do so since 1973.  In fact, the only comedians appearing anywhere during the ceremony are Price and Waterhouse.

Roman Catholics can now confess their sins to an I-Phone app that dispenses absolution and assesses a penance.   The downside is, when you call tech support, you get an Indian at the Vatican who speaks Latin.

BOB HOPE'S 1983 U.S. COLLEGE CAMPUS TOUR: Your Alma Mater Here?


"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.
