NEWS LITE : ROCKER TED NUGENT ABOUT TO FACE MUSIC.


Attorneys for Ted Nugent are due in court Monday on a state complaint that he failed to report accurately the number of deer on his rural Michigan game preserve.

The rocker and avid bowhunter could lose his game-breeding permit and spend up to 90 days in jail if convicted of failure to comply with breeding regulations.

Michigan requires private game preserves to report monthly on any hunting animals born or killed. Last month, the state said Nugent's report was inaccurate, although he missed only a few deer over several months.

``It's hard to keep count,'' prosecutor John McBain John McBain may refer to: People
  • John McBain (musician), an American musician

  • John McBain (One Life to Live), character on the American soap opera One Life to Live

Nugent did not return a call Tuesday.

Real Soup Nazi not amused by reporter

Al Yeganeh has no patience for those who confuse him with the Soup Nazi character he inspired on NBC's ``Seinfeld.''

Just ask Babita Hariani, a reporter for New York New York, state, United States

Yeganeh hates the name Soup Nazi, hates the tag line and hates it when tourists and others ask him to say it. So naturally, the famously short-tempered soup chef flew into a rage when the reporter asked him to say it yet again.

Hariani said Yeganeh took off his radio headphones Head-mounted speakers. Headphones have a strap that rests on top of the head, positioning a pair of speakers over both ears. For listening to music or monitoring live performances and audio tracks, both left and right channels are required.  and threw them at her. ``He was yelling, `Get out!' and chasing me out,'' she said. ``So as I was running, he threw them and I grabbed them. He was right on my heels the whole time, cursing and screaming.''

The commotion was broadcast on the radio, although the obscenities were deleted.

Last week, Yeganeh told The Associated Press Associated Press: see news agency.

Pitt stop a thrill for

home folks

Brad Pitt delighted his hometown fans merely by coming home again for the holidays.

The 34-year-old actor hit several Springfield, Mo., nightspots with a couple of friends over the weekend.

``They sat right down in the front booth,'' said Fred Coco, owner of the Metropolitan Grill, where Pitt ate dinner one night. ``I introduced myself and he shook my hand and said, `Hi, I'm Brad.' ''

Afterward, he wandered through several downtown bars and signed autographs before surfacing at a club to catch a reunion concert by Fools Face, a band popular during Pitt's days at Kickapoo High School Kickapoo High School may refer to:

  • Kickapoo High School (Viola, Wisconsin) http://www.greatschools.net/modperl/browse_school/wi/1577/
 in the early 1980s.

``It didn't take long for the entire club to figure out he was here,'' said owner Matt Miller.

At Romeo Y Julieta's Cigar and Martini Bar, where Pitt wrapped up the night, owner Mike Jalili finally locked the front door.

``He tried to hide himself, but it's impossible because you look at him and you say, `There's Brad Pitt,' '' Jalili said.

Lawsuit is added to quilted TP tale

Mathematician Sir Roger Penrose of Oxford University has sued Kimberly-Clark, which makes Kleenex quilted toilet paper, for using the Penrose Arrowed Rhombi rhom·bi

 Tilings pattern, a series of geometric figures that Penrose devised in 1970. Carolyn Kizer uncovered news of the suit in Lingua Franca, which cited a London Times report that explained the advantages of Penrose's nonrepeating figure to the manufacturer:

``Quilted tissue has the advantage of achieving softness and absorbency while using less paper. In addition, a pattern that does not repeat itself regularly has the advantage that successive layers on the rolls are less likely to stick together.''
