Sobered-up actor regrets bad image

Andy Dick is finally starting to worry about his image.

The actor-comedian has been in drug-and-alcohol rehabilitation twice and is still awaiting judgment for a drunk-driving arrest that came after he hit a tree and tried to flee on foot.

Sober again, Dick frets that his reputation could hurt his latest movie, the Disney film ``Inspector Gadget,'' at the box office if he spreads the word that he's in it.

``There are all kinds of addictions, and I've got every single one.''

Court won't toss a bone

to lawyer

After President Clinton got a dog named Buddy, lawyer Mohammed Baddy baddy (inf) nBösewicht m  claimed he lost his dignity because their similar names made him the butt of people's jokes. So he sued Clinton for libel.

An Egyptian court threw out the suit Saturday, saying it has no jurisdiction because the alleged infringement of Baddy's rights took place outside Egypt, officials said.

Baddy, 40, filed the case earlier this year and demanded $5 million in compensation. Baddy claimed Clinton caused him mental anguish When connected with a physical injury, includes both the resultant mental sensation of pain and also the accompanying feelings of distress, fright, and anxiety. As an element of damages implies a relatively high degree of mental pain and distress; it is more than mere disappointment,  by choosing a name for his dog that was similar to his.

Baddy said people in his hometown of Hihya, 55 miles northeast of Cairo, made fun of him and compared him to Buddy.

Woodstock ends on a riotous note

A number of the bonfires on the Woodstock '99 grounds near Rome, N.Y., got out of hand Sunday night and raged into a three-alarm blaze near the concert's main stage.

About 10 fire engines entered the grounds and firefighters were working to put out the flames as thousands of fans watched, state police officials said.

Authorities said the music had stopped on the main stage, and fans were being asked to back off in order to allow firefighters access.

No information was available on whether there were any injuries as a result of the fires.

Earlier in the day, many campers were already pulling up stakes and stashing gear in their cars Sunday morning in hopes of making a quick getaway once their favorite band finished up, but it didn't look promising.

``We all have got to work in the morning,'' said Mara Kugler of Baldwin, N.Y., a sleeping bag tucked under her arm. ``It's been a long week but worth it.''

State police said that by late afternoon more than 70,000 people had departed with few delays. The exodus was expected to take up to a day since more than 225,000 packed the site.
