An alarming e-mail went out to members of the Jimmy Buffett Fan Club during the weekend saying that Buffett wasn't going to play Houston this year. The e-mail said the Parrothead Club was chartering buses to catch Buffett in Dallas Sept. 19. Not so fast, my fine feathered friends. My source says Buffett is still negotiating to squeeze in a Houston concert this year, some time around Sept. 17. Jimmy Buffett told me on the phone last week.
Pro wrestling is hotter than ever.
Two weeks ago, Time Magazine did a major piece on wrestling's recent surge in popularity. Now TV Guide is doing a cover story, due in August.

Malone wrestled despite the death of his sister on Friday.
