   9 May 2007 - Howie Mandel, Criss Angel,    
   10 May 07 02:37:12   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Howie Mandel:   
   	- Los Angeles uses more cars.  Strangers will see him and ask   
   if he's in town.  He was in a crowded street; his wife was upset   
   because he occasionally jumps and flinches, which he claims will be   
   funny eventually as guys behind you will do that too.   
   	   
   	- He plays pranks on his wife.  She was engrossed with the   
   makeup lady; he noticed the little palettes of color and started   
   painting his fingers.  They went back out and every so often pinched   
   her cheeks.  His wife didn't know she looked like a clown.  He invited   
   her back to the makeup counter, and didn't know why he ran.  People   
   watched the running.  He told the makeup counter his wife had trouble   
   applying makeup, which she denied.   
   	   
   	- He doesn't *have* to shave his head, but does shave it.   
   It's like a beard, but it's higher.  He's going to shave his eyebrows,   
   and grow strips on his bangs.  People will ask why he's so surprised.   
      
   	   
   	- A Los Angeles waxing salon has added 'The Howie Mandel' to   
   the menu.  You're booing; can you imagine his 18-year-old son?   
      
      
   Conan's Lullaby:   
   	- Unique lines: Double murder, broken bone, Alec Baldwin on   
   the phone, global warming, drugs and booze, Roger signs but the Yanks   
   still lose.   
      
      
   Criss Angel:   
   	- He chopped a woman in half, but is amazed to be on Conan,   
   looking as if he were pulled out of a dumpster.  Many of his stunts   
   seem to involve mutilation.  He's hoping to fight the impression of   
   magicians as greasy men of the 1880s by replacing fears of magicians   
   with fears of people ripping off their legs.   
   	   
   	- For his mother's 70th birthday he figured that would be the   
   only appropriate time to set himself on fire.   
   	   
   	- A dangerous trick: chew a string.  Have it come out your   
   eye.  They run out of time to do something to Conan's mind.   
      
      
   Patrick Wolf:   
   	- From 'The Magic Position': Couldn't hear it, but, whoa, look   
   at that outfit.
