Ringside seat
We are in a banqueting suite at Old Trafford and a punk version of Blue Moon, the theme song of both Manchester City and Ricky Hatton, is being blasted over the PA system. Half the crowd boo before remembering they are here to pay tribute to Hatton. They start to cheer. It's a typical boxing gathering. Some of the hardest men in Manchester, with their huge necks and jingle-jangle jewellery, stand up for Hatton, who is sitting next to Wayne Rooney on the top table. They look so sweet together, genuinely good friends. It's the normal running order: food, charity raffle, Ricky and the unfortunate professional comic. This time it's Jimmy Carr, and he dies an even more painful death than the last one. I'm chatting to Hatton's mum, Carol, and I ask if she's really as hard as he makes out. She laughs.
Corrections and clarifications
An item Saturday in the Religion Briefing misstated the address of St. Francis Chapel at the motherhouse of the Sisters of St. Francis Assisi, where Bishop William Callahan will preside at a liturgy at 9 a.m. Jan. 6. It is at 3221 S. Lake Drive, not 1501 S. Layton Blvd. The Milwaukee Archdiocese provided incorrect information. 12/29/07 An item in the Regional News Watch on Nov. 3 transposed the names of a man charged with reckless homicide and the victim. It was William G. Stone, not Marvin G. Wise, who faced fines and prison terms after being charged. Wise was the victim. 12/28/07 An editorial Thursday on recent incidents involving air traffic controllers at the Federal Aviation Administration's Chicago Center in Aurora, Ill., left the impression that a commercial airliner and a private plane came within 300 feet of one another on Dec.

The couple were spotted at a very non-Hollywood place, Ye Coach & Horses in LA, trying to fly under the radar. A spy for the Los Angeles Times described their interaction as "canoodling." Last we saw Christina she was making out with her ex-husband, Jonathon Schaech. Guess that reunion didn't go over well. Anyway, we think Zach is super cute -- back in September we picked him as one of our Sexy Guys of Fall TV. I guess Christina agrees. .
