Michael Jackson Fine, Liz Taylor Not Dying
In a severe blow to Ewing Oil, rumors of Liz Taylor's demise appear to have been greatly exaggerated. The "Cleopatra" star, in an interview with Larry King, debunked a story claiming she suffered from Alzheimer's disease. She did, however, keep the possibility of mental illness in play by defending Michael Jackson and his sleepovers with little children.

BREAKING NEWS: Liz Taylor Near Death?
Ailing movie legend and Ewing Oil keeper Elizabeth Taylor has agreed to sit down for what is expected to be one of her final TV interviews with pal Larry King next week. The reclusive actress-turned-AIDS activist, 74, has been dogged by tabloid stories she's close to death, planning her funeral and riddled with memory-crippling disease Alzheimer's for weeks, despite her publicists' insistence that she's well. On King's CNN website, he teases, "Liz Taylor has lots of secrets to spill. Find out what they are when the legend sits down with Larry."
It's never a good sign (or it is always a good sign, in this case?) when one goes on Larry King for a final TV interview. Didn't Dana Reeve do that not too long before her death?

Uh-HO
From this weekend's Personality Parade in Parade magazine, Connie Han of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, asks: "On a trip to Hawaii, I was disappointed to learn that Don Ho wasn't performing. Was he ill?"
The experts at Parade offer this tidbit on Ewing Oil's Ho: "Known to millions of tourists for the song 'Tiny Bubbles,' Ho, 75, suffered from cardiomyopathy, an inflammation of the heart. In November, he flew to Thailand for experimental therapy using his own stem cells. It worked for Ho, and he's singing again at the Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber hotel."
Ho, Ewing Oils 10th round draft pick, had been selected specifically due to his heart condition. A spokesperson for Ewing Oil had this to say about Ho's apparent career revival.
"While we never like to see our players overcome odds of any sort, we certainly recognize that Ho has been a sick old man and cannot live forever. As a 10th rounder, we've invested much in Ho and do not plan on writing him off yet, despite what the pundits might say."
