Nominees for the top award of best entertainer were Brooks & Dunn, McGraw, the Dixie Chicks, Alan Jackson and George Strait.

NEWS IN BRIEF | Federal judge orders Playmate to testify Review JUJ In 200G SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) — A federal judge decided Monday that former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith must testify before he can rule on whether a ruling granting her $474 million from her late husband’s estate will be reinstated. U.S. District Court Judge David 0. Carter said he will need to hear tes timony from Smith and her former stepson, E. Pierce Marshall, in order to make a decision on the award. The hearing, set for Dec. 11, will be the latest round in a long-running legal battle in which Smith has tried to claim an inheritance from her late husband, J. Howard Marshall II. His son, E. Pierce Marshall, has argued that Smith has no claim to the estate. Smith won a judgment last September when a bankruptcy court judge in Los Angeles ruled that E. Pierce Marshall interfered with her expecta tion of a “gift” from her husband’s estate. A probate court in Texas later found Smith had no claim to the estate. The judge said testimony from Smith, Marshall and others is necessary because the claims and counterclaims between Smith and Marshall are too ‘‘wildly at odds” for him to rule based on court transcripts alone. f; r 2' Respondt loud mu Arresl DWI vi Continued from ^^polic© physiology has adapted to sure reproductive success, as men’s select sperm that produced specifically to coml any foreign sperm fromotl males.
