The Water Cooler



Here are a few of the things in news, entertainment and popular culture that we've been talking about lately.

* An Iraqi TV reporter flings his shoes at George W. Bush during a news conference in Baghdad. Good thing U.S. broadcast journalists are more professional, because Katie Couric could take out an eye with those stilettos.

    * About half of the population of Cranfills Gap, Texas, enjoys an all-expenses-paid trip to Las Vegas as part of a Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority promotion. There are still seats available on the reciprocal trip from Vegas to Cranfills Gap. Any takers? Anyone at all?

    * Avril Lavigne dashes rumors of pregnancy when she's spotted downing tequila shots in Las Vegas. Either that, or she has embraced Dr. Jose Cuervo's prenatal program.

    * Tom Cruise and Matt Lauer make nice on "The Today Show." The denouement to a drama everybody stopped caring about a long time ago.
