I'll start off with some news:
Siegfried & Roy will never return to the stage, spokeswoman says
BERLIN (AP) - The Siegfried & Roy show will never return to the stage after Roy Horn was mauled on stage by a tiger last year, a German-based spokeswoman for the duo was quoted as saying Tuesday.
Horn "has good and bad days," the German weekly Neue Post quoted spokeswoman Claudia Dressler, as saying. "Nobody knows if he'll ever the be the same old Roy again. But one thing is for sure: Siegfried & Roy will never return to the stage with their show."
The show at The Mirage hotel-casino in Las Vegas was shut down after Horn was attacked by a white tiger during an Oct. 3 performance. Horn and his stage partner Siegfried Fischbacher have lived for 35 years in Las Vegas, where Horn has been recovering.
Horn is still using a wheelchair, the Neue Post reported. He is having twice-weekly physical therapy to strengthen muscles in his left leg and is able to walk several hundred steps with a walker, it added.

From HBO (hbo.com): Sopranos creator can take his time on Season 6, HBO chairman says
NEW YORK (AP) - No Sopranos family members will be knocked off in 2005. That's because HBO has announced that the sixth and final season of the popular mob drama won't premiere until sometime in 2006.
"It's like the Harry Potter book," HBO chairman Chris Albrecht said last week. "You'll wait very long and be happy when you get it." The announcement was made during the Television Critics Association press tour in Los Angeles.
Albrecht said The Sopranos creator and executive producer David Chase can take all the time he needs to write, hinting the final season could become longer than the 10 episodes Chase committed to in January.
The Sopranos wrapped up its fifth season recently.
"Until the last episode of The Sopranos airs, I'm always hopeful," Albrecht said.
Other HBO shows that will live on include a fifth season of Larry David's comedy, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and sophomore seasons of the dark dramas Carnivale and Deadwood.
