First Up: Dateline-England 
George Bush told London newspaper The Observer that he is considering writing a memoir after he leaves office.  The president said the only thing stopping him is "All those words."
Item 2:  Dateline--Las Vegas, Nevada
Illusionists Siegfried and Roy welcomed five new white tiger cubs into their exotic habitat.  "Our life's purpose is keeping them from extinction." Siegfried told reporters.  Too bad the tigers didn't feel the same way about Roy.
Item 3:  Dateline--Sunland, California
The LAPD surrounded a house in which an armed man had holed up after threatening a neighbor.  Watch for him this fall on the new FOX show, "So You Think You Can Take Yourself Hostage."
Item 4:  A man in Japan discovered that a woman had been living in his closet for a year.  He became suspicious when his suits disappeared and were replaced with a note that said, "They'll be ready next Thursday."
Item 5: A San Francisco woman with a fetish for inanimate objects married The Eiffel Tower.  This is the second marriage for her, having left her toaster to be with the Paris landmark.  The Tower was previously engaged to The Grand Canyon, but I think we all know how difficult long distance romances can be.
Item 6: Rosie O'Donnell says even though gay marriage is legal in California, she and her partner Kelly plan to wait until it is legal in all 50 states until they re-tie their knot.  And, she wants time to lose enough weight to fit into her wedding overalls and work boots.
And Finally:

The Bing Crosby Joke of The Week
A blonde calls her travel agent and asks, "Can you tell me how long it takes to fly from San Francisco to New York City?"  "One moment," replied the agent.  "Thank you," the blonde said and hung up.
