Final
Answer: RICHARD NIXON!!!!
Heck, everyone
wants to be a millionaire, but up until now, no one had
claimed the top prize on ABC's sweeps phenomenon Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire? At last a contestant goes all
the way, baby, netting the full $1 million on tonight's
installment. The New York Daily News leaked that it's an
IRS worker (Is that fair?) who makes good on
Millionaire's title, 13 nights into the November sweeps.
At least the guy won't be bitter about the big chunk the
government takes out

DiCaprio,
the man who launched a certain big-boat movie into the
stratosphere, is now looking to launch his own film
festival in cyberspace.

2000 NO ARNOLD!!!

Cameron may have bid "hasta la vista" to his
signature film franchise but, hey, that doesn't mean
there can't be more Terminator movies, right? Of

continuation of the series then, heck, who needs Arnold
Schwarzenegger? Wait,
wait, wait — Terminator movies without Cameron
and Schwarzenegger? Who would dare?!

Kassar and Andy Vajna, that's who. Variety
reports the producer tag team, who jointly control the
rights to the Terminator film franchise, are
tired of letting their $8 million investment age. The
duo are willing to welcome Schwarzenegger back into the
fold if he wants to get a piece of the action, but are
reportedly intent on filming two new sequels whether or
not he participates. FOR
