Internet pinup queen puts baby on display
People

Internet sex kitten Cindy Margolis is giving admirers a sneak peek at her first pregnancy with a new photo series showing her bulging belly.

The blond actress-model is more than eight months pregnant. She appears in photos wearing a revealing negligee, lacy underwear and cuddling with her husband.

She and husband Guy Starkman, president of the Jerry's Famous Deli restaurant chain, tried to have a child for two years before they turned to in vitro fertilization treatments.

Margolis is due in early June.

They know the child is a boy, but haven't selected a name.

The 36-year-old former Price Is Right model began turning heads after starting a Web site in 1997 featuring images of herself wearing bikinis and other revealing outfits.

A loyal fan base followed, and the Guinness Book of World Records once called her "the most downloaded woman on the Internet."

She plans to release the photos on the Internet, she said.

Miss America combatants heading to court

There he goes -- to court. Former Miss America Pageant CEO Robert Beck, 63, is suing the Miss America Organization for wrongful termination, severance pay and other issues surrounding his firing from the $235,000-a-year job. Beck was fired within weeks of a controversy over the pageant's plan to let women who had been divorced or had abortions compete for Miss America.

Kylie: Set me free

Kylie Minogue apparently can get him out of her head. The Australian pop star has split up with her boyfriend, model James Gooding, after a two-and-a-half year relationship. Minogue, who recently cracked the U.S. Billboard Top 10 with her single "Can't Get You Out of My Head" and debuted at No. 3 with her album Fever, blamed the pair's hectic work schedules. Minogue is on a nationwide tour in Britain and while she's been away from her London home the tabloids have been running reports that Gooding has been spotted with other women out on the town.

Book work helped Giuliani handle Sept. 11 events

Former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said writing much of his forthcoming book, "Leadership," before Sept. 11 helped him lead New York through the aftermath of the terrorist attacks. "It was like having had a seminar in leadership just when I needed it," Giuliani said. After attending victims' funerals, he titled a chapter "Weddings Are Discretionary, Funerals Are Necessary." "That's the lesson my father taught me. He used to say, people don't need you at their wedding, but you'd better go to the funeral, because that's when people really, really need you." The book is due out in October.
