Some interesting tidbits from Lloyd Grove (NY Daily News):

.... Schwarzenegger also described the moment when he told his wife, Maria Shriver, that he wanted to run for office. "We were sitting in the Jacuzzi one day and I said I wanted to run for governor - and she started shaking and crying," he revealed.

"It was very tough for her, but her mother - Eunice Kennedy [Shriver] - was in favor of me running, so she talked to Maria and she finally agreed." ....

Remember a few days ago, when I quoted Teresa Heinz Kerry touring the flood-ravaged communities near Pittsburgh, and she said that she wanted to see the damage but, of course, there was nothing she could do to help? Looks like Mel Gibson could teach her a thing or two:

Mel Gibson is sharing his box-office bonanza from "The Passion of The Christ" with the sick children of the world. The filmmaker just donated $5 million to L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and another $5 million to Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA. The money is earmarked for pediatric patients from countries where they can't find, or afford, suitable medical care. Gibson has been working behind the scenes with the Healing the Children project. A source close to the charity confirms that Gibson donated more than $1.5 million to bankroll the 23-hour surgery in 2002 for conjoined twins Maria de Jesus and Maria Teresa Quiej Alvarez at the UCLA medical center.

Oops, my bad, those snippets were from Rush and Molloy. Lloyd Grove reports of little Leo Decaprio:

Today he'll be campaigning in Madison, Wis., for John Kerry and will deliver two environmentally themed speeches on the candidate's behalf.

Madison, Wisconsin? Gee, do you think he'll find any likeminded enviroweenie socialists there?
