Love Cynics
LOS ANGELES They smooch and hug as cameras snap. Friends enthusiastically report: "It's true! They're smitten!" Their publicists confirm it is the real deal. But when celebrity magazines asked the public to weigh in on the latest high-octane Hollywood pairing - Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, the former star of "Dawson's Creek" - the cynics crushed the dewy-eyed. "Publicity stunt," said 62 percent of respondents to a People magazine's poll. 
Bo's Fans Complain
Some Bo Bice fans are angry that Carrie Underwood seems to have gotten the better deal in her original song "Angels Brought Me Here." In fact, Carrie's song wasn't an original at all, but "Angels Brought Me Here" was previously released by Australian Idol Guy Sebastian. Carrie Underwood was essentially given a song that was a hit song in Australia for her original song, while Bo Bice was given a true original song that was completely untested.
Country Girl Rules
NEW YORK — America's "Idol" is ... Carrie Underwood! 
It came down to the country girl vs. the rock star — and the country girl won.
Wednesday night, in a special two-hour finale live from the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, "American Idol" host Ryan Seacrest announced who had won America's hearts: Underwood, the fresh-faced 22-year-old crooner from Checotah, Okla., who beat runner-up Bo Bice, the long-haired 29-year-old rocker from Helena, Ala.
Upon hearing she'd won the competition, Underwood burst into tears, but got herself together to sing what's become one of her signature songs: "Inside Your Heaven."
"Thank you America!" Carrie shouted at the end of the song.
Wednesday night also had other treats in store. Bo sang with Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Carrie with country trio Rascal Flatts. Many former "Idols" also made appearances.

Tribune Story
Detained President Joseph Estrada's lawyers scored a major victory when they proved beyond reasonable doubt that the testimony of former Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis "Chavit" Singson and his two witnesses who corroborated his claims of having delivered to Estrada in his Polk Street home the amount in cash of P130 million in tobacco excise tax money, in 1998 was a complete fabrication and that they perjured themselves.
This was proved by the defense lawyers led by former Sen. Rene Saguisag, following a hearing and an actual demonstration at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) along Roxas Boulevard, Manila.
