Never too soon to see Aerosmith
TAMPA -- Sure, veteran rockers Aerosmith last performed here less than a year ago, but with three decades of hits that include some of rock 'n' roll's most delicious tunes, is it ever too soon to see the band again? That was the sentiment of a sellout crowd of 15,486 Thursday at the St. Pete Times Forum who savored every sassy antic dished out by singer Steven Tyler and his guitar-slinging sidekick Joe Perry.

Jackson whiffs
Samuel L. Jackson carries the numbing crime flick Formula 51 on his back and his motivation for making such a bad movie on his shoulder. As executive producer and an avid golfer, Jackson must have been tempted by a role placing him near some of Great Britain's best golf courses.

Side show
CHILL, DUDE: Just because Steven the Dell computer dude isn't one of the interns in the company's new TV ad doesn't mean he isn't with other interns in another department. Or he won't join this uptight group later. Or he won't eventually be revealed as Dell's founder -- a dude computer prodigy who started the company at 15 but prefers to live the middle-class dude life -- when he gives the interns a welcome speech.
