Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston are not building a nursery in their house--yet.

Studdard Ditches 205 Jerseys

You won't see American Idol winner Ruben Studdard won't be sporting any more jerseys bearing the now-famous 205 area code, a reference to his hometown of Birmingham, Ala.

Spike Lee Defends Lawsuit

Filmmaker Spike Lee said he is suing Viacom Inc. over its planned Spike TV because programs like its Pamela Anderson Stripperella cartoon will damage his reputation. Viacom, which bought TNN in 2000, announced in April that it would change TNN's name to Spike TV on June 16 in an attempt to attract more men to an audience that is already about two-thirds male. Lee's lawyer Johnnie Cochran argued in court Monday that Viacom is changing TNN's name in a deliberate attempt to capitalize on Lee's name and prestige. "They hope to get a boost in the ratings," Cochran told State Supreme Court Justice Walter Tolub. "They don't have a right to misappropriate his name to do that."
