May 1-2 – Rapper Ol’ Dirty Bastard seems to have done a lot of planning during his two-year jail term for cocaine possession. Now free, he held a press conference to tell us he’s changed his name to Dirt McGirt, Damon Dash’s Roc-A-Fella Records will produce his next album, he’ll be starring in a VH1 reality show called “On Parole with ODB”, (what happened to the name change?), and he expects to release a line of clothing. Mariah Carey stopped by unexpectedly.

Salma Hayek, Jennifer Connelly and Renee Zellweger gathered at the Louis Vuitton building, but not for shopping. The stars held a press conference to promote the United Cancer Front. Early the next morning – too early, in our opinion - they put their feet where their mouths are and joined other famous and regular folks in Times Square for the 6th annual Revlon Run/Walk for women.
