HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 5, 2000 -- The Boss has a new title: Humanitarian.
Rocker Bruce Springsteen has received the Humanitarian Community Service Award from the National Associated for the Advancement of Colored People, Reuters reports.
The 51-year-old New Jersey native was honored with the award for the song he wrote last year in response to the West African immigrant who died in a hail of police gunfire in New York. He was criticized by officers when he performed last summer the song about the death of Amadou Diallo .
Springsteen has sold millions of records, often focusing on social issues such as AIDS, homelessness and racism.
``Humanitarian is too big a word for what I do,'' the rocker said Sunday as he accepted the award.

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 25, 2000 -- The good news is, there's plenty of room at the top, as a whopping 13 shows cracked TV's Top Ten last week! The bad news is, we're running out of Regis Philbin jokes. William Shatner If you've got any good Regis material, feel free to send us an e-mail and pass it along. If we use it, we'll even print your name! Make your friends (the ones who think their Regis jokes are just sooo funny) insanely jealous! Or, even better, join the campaign to replace Regis as "Millionaire" host with William Shatner, 'cuz we've got plenty of gas left in that particular tank.
Without further ado then, primetime's Top Ten shows for the week of April 17-23, according to the fine folks at Nielsen Media Research. (Remember, each rating point is worth a little more than one million viewers.)

HOLLYWOOD, July 11, 2000 -- The controversial Supremes tour featuring Diana Ross but none of the group's other original members is being cut short by promoters, much to the Motown diva's chagrin. Last night's gig in Hartford, Conn., was the final curtain, and scheduled performances in Long Island, N.Y., Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh have been ditched, Ross's representatives told Reuters.
The concert tour, billed "Diana Ross and the Supremes Return to Love," caught flak from the start. Ross elected not to reunite with singers Mary Wilson (an original member of the trio) and Cindy Birdsong (who joined the group in 1967 and sang on some of its biggest hits), and brought two other vocalists instead.
Then, once the act hit the road in June, it was marred by poor ticket sales.
No reason was immediately given for the tour's abrupt ending, but Ross said through her pu

SANTA MONICA, Calif., April 7, 2000 - There's Aretha, Tina, Cher, Whitney, Mariah, Brandy, Celine, and yes, even Sir Elton John. But who, in proverbial divadom, is the biggest and baddest of them all?
Our vote this week goes to Diana Ross -- hands down.
The above assessment is neither based on the singing legend's career milestones, overall influence or sartorial outrageousness. Its conclusion has only to do with Miss Ross' singular ability to do things that, lesser divas (not to mention us mere mortals) likely wouldn't get away with.
The latest example: The grand diva's announcement on Tuesday that she will hit the road this summer in a Supremes reunion tour - except without two of the trio's famed members, Cindy Birdsong and Mary Wilson.
The Supremes snub is not the first, nor is it going to be the last, item on the singer's attitude-copping resume. So

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 14, 2000 -- 'Tis Valentine's Day, for loved ones to unite and lovelorn to show spite. In observance of this occasion, we find Tinseltown's love/no-love meter has been cranked up a notch.
Former bad-boy Christian Slater got married over the weekend to former television producer Ryan Haddon at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. The ceremony Saturday night was attended by 150 guests, according to his publicist, and officiated by author Neale Donald Walsch. The vows were taken from Walsch's book ``Conversations with God, Book 3.''
Slater, 30, was once as notorious for his bad behavior as he was for his wicked eyebrows. After squiring actresses (and co-stars) Winona Ryder, Samantha Mathis and Patricia Arquette as well as Christina Applegate and supermodel Christy Turlington, he was sued for palimony by longtime girlfriend Nina Huang after thei

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Feb. 2, 2000 -- Never underestimate Julia Roberts' clout.
Daily Variety reports that the actress is showing interest in the action-comedy "The Mexican" and is considering taking the female lead. The pretty woman's possible involvement in the $10 million dollar project is indelibly breathing renewed life into the formerly lackluster project, which saw the joint departure of "Fight Club" helmer David Fincher and megastar Brad Pitt early in its pre-production phrase.
The effect of Robert's decision goes far beyond than just one star billing for the flick. Variety reports that many Hollywood insiders predict that Roberts' move might very well reignite Pitt's interest in recommitting to the male lead.
The flick is about a seasoned criminal who hunts down a legendary cursed pistol in Mexico while being pressured to change his evil ways by his girl
