Ali says fighting no solution to hate Muhammad Ali will appear Sunday on ``Touched by an Angel'' to get across the message that violence is not a solution to life's problems. ``Fighting is not the answer to frustration and hate,'' he told TV Guide. ``It is a sport, not a philosophy of life.

Insisting that no arm-twisting was necessary, CBS has convinced Bryant Gumbel to return to morning television. The 15-year host of NBC's ``Today'' show will team with a former producer of that program for a two-hour morning news program beamed from a new storefront studio overlooking New York's Central Park. The revamped show debuts in November. ``It is a decision I feel very comfortable about, something I feel good about,'' Gumbel said at a news conference Tuesday. Gumbel left ``Today'' in 1997, signing a $5 million contract with CBS. But his prime-time newsmagazine was canceled, leaving him with little to do. CBS began talking to him last October about returning to morning TV. CBS also hired Steve Friedman, a two-time executive producer of ``Today'' while Gumbel was there and an originator of ``Dateline NBC,'' to run the new morning show. Friedman had been general manager of the CBS affiliate in New York.

The movie is due out May 28. Roberts reunites with ``Pretty Woman'' co-star Richard Gere in ``Runaway Bride,'' due out in July. DeLorean to get new plastic look John DeLorean has another sports car in the works. DeLorean once made a stainless steel car with signature gull-wing doors, but he fell from prominence after legal entanglements in the 1980s, including bankruptcy, divorce and an acquittal on cocaine smuggling smuggling, illegal transport across state or national boundaries of goods or persons liable to customs or to prohibition. Smuggling has been carried on in nearly all nations and has occasionally been adopted as an instrument of national policy, as by Great Britain charges. ``I don't look back at all,'' said DeLorean, whose latest project is a 1,450-pound sports car built from structural plastic that can go from zero to 60 miles per hour in 3.2 seconds. The starting price would be about $18,000. ``Cars are in my blood,'' he said. ``They're really the only thing I've ever worked at.'' DeLorean, 74, once spent a lot of time at his 48-acre citrus and avocado ranch in San Diego County, but he gave it to his attorneys to pay legal fees.
