* There's Also a Nike Swoosh on the Life Jackets: The film
"Titanic" is based on the true story of an ocean liner that
hit an iceberg in 1912. But some details have been altered.
"Kato Kaelin plays a stowaway who hears one loud thump while
asleep in the hull." (Argus Hamilton)
* Titanic II: 20th Century Fox is selling props from "Titanic"
to offset its $200-million cost. "It makes sense. Not much
chance of a sequel." (Mike Hull)
* Doobie-ous Achievement Award: Firefighters battling a home
blaze in L.A. found hundreds of marijuana plants. "Before
dousing the fire, they ran their hoses through the swimming
pool, creating the world's largest bong." (Jerry Perisho)
* Half-Nielsen: A TV cartoon with strobe effects sent 618
Japanese children to hospitals with nausea, vomiting,
irritated eyes and convulsions. "Erroneous police reports
initially said the kids were watching 'The Tony Danza
Show.' " (Bob Mills)
* Treasure Hunt: Geraldo Rivera signed a six-year deal with
NBC News. "The good news for Geraldo: The pact is worth
$30 million. The bad news: NBC says the money is in
Al Capone's vault." (Jenny Church)
