Starry Night at MSG Fields Unlikely Hero
By Rob Peterson - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- For the past decade, Madison Square Garden and more specifically the NBA team that called it home -- the New York Knicks -- was the rotten core of Big Apple sports. This season, things are different. Thanks to Amar'e Stoudemire, the Knicks' first All-Star starter since 1997, the apple is polished and shiny and red and juicy. On Thursday, everyone wanted to take a bite. TNT, back for the first time at the Garden in five years, went all out. They brought "Inside the NBA" up from Atlanta and managed to sneak Marv Albert past the Dolans and into the building. They announced the ...

By J. Richard - AOL News(Nov. 12) -- Matt Lauer is no stranger to media brouhahas. Between heated interviews with Tom Cruise, Ann Coulter and Dina Lohan, the "Today Show" host has seen his fair share of verbal cross-fire.

But West bristled several times during his interview with host Matt Lauer, telling staff offstage to be quiet and accusing Lauer of trying to manipulate him. After Lauer replayed footage from earlier in the week, in which Bush called West's statement one of the most disgusting points of ...

By Lauren Frayer - AOL News

"If you make it fast and make it ...
Bush: 'I Didn't Hate Kanye West' for Katrina Comment
By Lisa Flam - AOL News(Nov. 10) -- Former President George W. Bush said in an interview today that he doesn't hate Kanye West for calling him a racist, defended his economic policies and refused to talk about the merits of the proposed Islamic community center a few blocks from ground zero.
