MIAMI (AP) - A man's body floated up near where a crew was filming a scene for the crime show "CSI: Miami," authorities said. The body washed up early Friday in Biscayne Bay at Bicentennial Park, which film crews were using as a helicopter staging ground for aerial shots of a fictional offshore investigation for the CBS show, police said. A homeless man spotted the body and alerted an off-duty police officer who was working security on the set, police said. The body had no signs of injury, and the death was not considered suspicious, according to authorities. "Unfortunately, it's not unusual during certain times of the year that people who have fallen in the bay, either homeless or people who were asleep or in some cases boaters who had a mishap, fall into the bay and turn up days later," said Detective Delrish Moss, a Miami police spokesman. It's not the first dead body to unexpectedly appear on a "CSI" set. One was found this week in a Los Angeles building where "CSI: New York" was filming. Police also didn't consider that death suspicious.

NORM: Another shot at millionaire life A Las Vegas man is getting a rare second chance -- and a shot at $500,000 or more -- on ABC's game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire." Dante Constable, a musician who was initially listed as being from Davie, Fla., was bumped off the show in May when it was ruled that he gave a wrong answer. Advertisement Had he given the right answer, he would have received $250,000. Instead, he went home with $25,000. But the show's producers discovered that his answer was correct after all, and he not only returns to the show Tuesday (KTNV-TV, Channel 13, at 7:30 p.m.) but was credited with the $250,000.

Among the benefits alleged: a $623.63 charge for a hotel stay by Bush at The Venetian in a March 2005 trip to Las Vegas. The room was charged to Michael Michaels, according to a document signed by Bush, the Web site reported. Michaels and Lloyd Lake were courting Bush as the first client for their agency, called New Era Sports & Entertainment. If Bush accepted benefits, the NCAA's sanctions for USC could cost Bush his college eligibility retroactively and the Heisman, the Web site said. ...

Good pics. I especially like the 4th down -- just Anna Nicole and the baby. Anna looks young in the pics. Much better than being so made up as she usually is. Usually looks older and and like she's lived a hard life.

Willie, Willie, Willie. A cloud of smoke rolling out the door during a traffic stop can't be good . COUNTRY singer-songwriter Willie Nelson and several fellow musicians were charged with misdemeanor drug possession by Louisiana police after a search of their tour bus today turned up marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms. State police spokesman Willie Williams said the bus was stopped early this morning about 7 miles east of Lafayette, Louisiana, for a routine commercial inspection, and a state trooper smelled marijuana inside the bus. State Police seized about 1˝ pounds (0.7kg) of marijuana and two-tenths of a pound (91 grams) of mushrooms from the bus, Williams said. Nelson and four other passengers on the bus were cited for possession and released, while the driver had his commercial driving privileges suspended in addition to being cited for possession. Nelson faces possible jail time of up to six months and an unspecified fine, police said. "There was no trouble whatsoever," Williams said. "They were all cooperative." A spokesman for Nelson said she had no information about the arrest. Nelson, 73, has been an advocate for the legalisation of marijuana. He became famous in the 1970s as part of the outlaw country movement that included influences from rock, jazz and folk music.

I love Willie! I don't like or smoke pot, but the guys just cracks me up for some reason. My Dad was a big fan of his and I do like his music with Wylan Jennings.

Waylon I've been to many of Willie's concerts. Back in the day you could pretty much get a contact high just being there but they don't allow smoking in venues anymore. Jail for six months seems like overkill.. especially if their jails are as crowded as most.

Lucky Louie cancelled LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- HBO has opted not to renew its racy blue-collar family comedy "Lucky Louie" for a second season. The show was created by and starred comedian Louis C.K. The cancellation marks the end of HBO's experiment with the traditional multicamera sitcom format, at least for now. HBO has thrived in the past with such single-camera comedies as "Sex and the City," "Curb Your Enthusiasm" and "Entourage." Multicamera shows are shot like a stage play with cameras trained on a handful of standing sets; single-camera shows have less of a sitcom feel, requiring different locations as well as different camera angles for each scene. HBO recently greenlighted two single-camera projects, the partially improvised series "Flight of the Conchords" and the female ensemble pilot "Whitney." I'm bummed. I really liked this show!

That's really too bad. I think this was a "love it" or "hate it" show and I freakin loved it! I just saw the one where he called his wife the c word. Hilarious. Now what the heck am I going to watch? Reruns of Everybody Loves Raymond. Yawn.

Former Friends star Matt LeBlanc and his wife of three years, Melissa McKnight, finalized their divorce Wednesday, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE. LeBlanc and McKnight will share joint and legal custody over their 2-year-old daughter, Marina (who has suffered from a brain disorder). He will provide $15,000 a month for child support until she turns 18. LeBlanc will also cover 100 percent of Marina's medical and nanny costs and school tuition. Both LeBlanc and McKnight waive all claims for spousal support. The couple separated last January, when LeBlanc, 39, unexpectedly announced he was moving out of the Encino, Calif., home he shared with McKnight, 41, their daughter and McKnight's two children from a previous marriage. "It was very sudden," McKnight's longtime friend Kelly Phillips told PEOPLE at the time. "She was absolutely blindsided by what transpired." Citing "irreconcilable differences," LeBlanc filed for divorce in March. "The dissolution is amicable," his publicist Joe Libonati said in a statement. "They remain devoted parents and friends." Shortly thereafter, PEOPLE reported that LeBlanc had been involved with Joey costar Andrea Anders, 31. Although the new couple are still together, the show didn't fare as well; it was cancelled in May. LeBlanc and McKnight, a former model, were originally introduced in 1997 by actor Lou Diamond Phillips and his wife, Kelly. After a five-year engagement, they were married on May 3, 2003, in Hawaii in front of 75 guests that included former costars Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow.

From People Online Patrick Dempsey and his wife, Jillian, are expecting twin boys, the Grey's Anatomy star said Wednesday on Live with Regis and Kelly. Dempsey's rep first confirmed to PEOPLE on Sept. 14 that the couple were expecting. They have a 4-year-old daughter, Talula Fyfe. Dempsey, 40, met his future wife in 1994 when he came into her salon for a haircut. They wed in 1999 at the actor's family's farmhouse in Maine. Jillian now has her own high-end cosmetics line. Dempsey was a teen star who made a comeback as Reese Witherspoon's fiancé in the 2002 movie Sweet Home Alabama and as the heartthrob known as "Dr. McDreamy" on the hit ABC medical drama. Of his fame, Dempsey told PEOPLE in 2002, "I really love it now. But I also have a life outside it with Jill and Talula. I am really thankful that it is all going well."

Is it me, or does it seem that so many Hollywood couples get divorced within a couple or so years of starting a family? So sad.
