Kenny Rogers becomesfather of twin boys
ATLANTA -- Even at 65, Kenny Rogers knows when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em. The country singer and his wife, Wanda, are the parents of identical twin boys, reports TV Guide Online.
The twins were born Tuesday morning in Atlanta. Justin Charles weighed 6 pounds, 10 ounces, and his brother, Jordan Edward, weighed 5 pounds, 8 ounces.
Wanda Rogers is an identical twin, and twins also run in Kenny Rogers' family.
The singer has three children from previous marriages.
Fans pay up to $915for tickets for Phish show
COVENTRY, Vt. -- Tickets to what jam band Phish says will be their last show are sold out, and scalpers are getting as much as $915 for admission to next month's two-day festival, which were originally priced at $150. Some 70,000 people have tickets to the show, which will be at the Newport State Airport and surrounding fields in Coventry on Aug. 14-15.
Veronica Lusk, sales representative for Internet broker eSeats.com, said she has only about 40 seats left to sell. Because eSeats.com resells tickets for clients who name their own prices, the Web site lists tickets from $515 to $915. Lusk said the demand for even the $915 seats is there.
"At this price, they are going really fast," she said recently. "We can sell them for this much. People are buying them. I've never really seen general admission tickets for this much."
Brad Feldman, a 23-year-old Chicago business analyst, has been a Phish fan for 10 years. He's hoping to get a ticket, but refuses to pay much more than the price on the stub.
"Phish is different," he said. "When people need a ticket and you have some, you sell it at face. Hopefully, good karma comes back."
Family and friends paylast respects to Brando
LOS ANGELES -- Marlon Brando was cremated after a private memorial service attended by a small group of family members and friends, his lawyer said Wednesday.
David Seeley declined to disclose the site of Monday's service.
"Marlon was a really private guy and didn't enjoy the media, and his family is trying to honor that in his death," Seeley said.
The reclusive Brando died a week ago of lung failure at the age of 80.
During his career, he revolutionized Hollywood's image of a leading man, playing street-tough, emotionally raw characters in "A Streetcar Named Desire" and "On the Waterfront." He revived his career decades later as the definitive Mafia don in "The Godfather."
Brando, who won two Academy Awards for best actor, left a will and was not in debt at the time of his death, Seeley said.
"All those stories regarding his financial status have no credibility at all," Seeley said.
