Following the interview of Ruth Madoff on "60 Minutes," Larry King confided to a reporter that he holds no ill will toward Bernie since he recovered all of his $700,000 investment.  Of course, Larry has kind of an inside track.  He went to grammar school with Charlie Ponzi.

The producers of the new Antonio Bandaras starrer "Puss N Boots" used cutting-edge digital motion software to duplicate exactly a feline's natural movements.  There's an intermission halfway through the film when Puss regurgitates a giant hair ball.

The re-release of the six "Star Wars" movies on Blu-Ray raked in $38 million during its first week.  That's the good news.  The bad news is that in the Blue-ray version, Carrie Fisher's hair looks even more like a helmet.

Is nothing safe anymore?  There's a new warning that sugar-free chewing gum can damage teeth.  They discovered it strictly by accident when someone noticed that a wad of it was eating through the metal on the bottom of a theater seat.

"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.
