Giuliani not ruling out politics
Burbank, Calif. Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani told "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno that he may run for office sometime in the future, but for now "I like this idea of having some time off."
Giuliani left office Dec. 31, shortly after being named Time magazine's Person of the Year for guiding New York's response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Leno asked Giuliani how he would have felt if Osama bin Laden had been selected for the Time magazine designation, as some had speculated.
"I don't think I can describe how I would've felt if he were selected," Giuliani said. "It's very hard for me to put in words the anger that I have toward him."
'Eight is Enough' star's death caused by overdose, coroner says
Los Angeles Actress Lani O'Grady, found dead in her mobile home five months ago, died of a drug overdose, the Los Angeles County coroner's office said.
However, the amount of drugs in her system made it impossible to determine if her death was an accident or suicide, coroner's spokesman Scott Carrier said Wednesday.
Toxicity studies showed high levels of the anti-depressant Prozac and the painkiller Vicodin in her system. She died of "multiple drug intoxication," Carrier said.
O'Grady was 46 at the time of her death. She was best known for her role as Dick Van Patten's oldest daughter on the comedy-drama "Eight Is Enough," which ran from 1977 to 1981.
She suffered from severe panic attacks for years, and admitted taking Valium frequently during her brief TV career. During the last months of her life, she was in constant pain from two knee operations, her mother, Mary Grady, said.
"She made the wrong choices. She was a rebel from when she was little. But her choices were the ones she was going to make," said Grady, who is trying to publish a book about her daughter's life.
Gov. Bush tours Travolta set
Jacksonville, Fla. Gov. Jeb Bush and his wife met John Travolta and toured the set of his new movie, "Basic," to promote filmmaking in the state of Florida.
Bush and his wife, Columba, toured an aircraft hangar at Cecil Commerce Center, formerly Cecil Field Naval Air Station, which is being used for the film's interior scenes. A jungle set has been created on another part of the sprawling former Navy base.
"We are going through tough times in our country economically, so when a producer and director and talented people like you come here, it makes a big difference," the governor told Travolta Tuesday.
The 47-year-old actor said he's enjoyed working in north Florida, where he's spent his spare time flying his plane and playing golf.
"It's been awesome and it's been great," Travolta said.
"Basic," directed by John McTiernan, also stars Samuel L. Jackson, Harry Connick Jr. and Giovanni Ribisi.
