Oh no, it's Ono

Peering over her trademark dark glasses, Yoko Ono waxed enigmatic about her art and her future as she opened an exhibit of her work at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minn.

"It's almost unhealthy to try to look into the future," the widow of John Lennon told students, reporters and museum staffers on Friday. "I try to keep it an open book, and anything can happen."

The museum's show, "Yes Yoko Ono," a retrospective of her paintings, sculpture, music and memorabilia of her peace efforts with Lennon, runs through June 17.

"I never think of a theme," she said. "I allow my mind to be kind of empty so ideas come in. A lot of things go through my mind, and it's important to bring them out."

'Late Late Show' fetes Montana

CBS talk-show host Craig Kilborn is helping raise the profile of his alma mater, Montana State University, by packing the audience of his March 13 show with alumni, students and professors.

"This will be the first time I've been in a room with Montana State students and faculty since I accidentally went to a class my freshman year," said Kilborn, host of CBS's "The Late Late Show."

Kilborn, 38, is a 1984 graduate of MSU, where he majored in theater arts and media. The 6-foot-5 Minnesota native also played basketball for the Bobcats.

He told the Bozeman Daily Chronicle that writers and producers are still working out details of Tuesday's show, but said it would be "dedicated to Montana."

Sajaks open cancer center

"Wheel of Fortune" game-show host Pat Sajak says the expanded breast cancer center in the new six-story Sajak Pavilion at Anne Arundel Medical Center "offers comfort beyond the medical aspect."

Sajak and his wife attended Thursday night's dedication ceremony.

"I think it's a great place," said Sajak, following a tour of the center. "They've worked hard to make patients feel that they're not being dumped in a medical facility."

The Sajaks, who live in Severna Park, Md., donated $1 million to the center, a comprehensive diagnostic, treatment and education facility designed to meet the needs of breast cancer patients.

Anderson intruder pleads

A female intruder allegedly found sleeping in a bed at Pamela Anderson's home has pleaded innocent to misdemeanor trespassing. Christine Evelyn Roth, 27, entered the plea Thursday and remained jailed in lieu of $5,000 bail. Deputies were called to the former "Baywatch" star's home March 4 and arrested Roth, who was booked for investigation of trespassing and stalking. Roth wasn't charged with stalking because there was no evidence of a threat, said Deputy Dist. Atty. Martin Herscovitz.
