Fallon cashes in on celebrity impressions
NEW YORK (AP) — Jimmy Fallon is known for his impressions of
celebrities, from Adam Sandler and Jerry Seinfeld to Alanis Morissette
and Dave Matthews. But there's one voice that eludes him.
"1 can't do Woody Allen to this day. I worked with him and I
can't even do him," Fallon said in a recent interview with The
Associated Press. "I just sound like John Travolta when he was
really young."
The 27-year-old "Saturday Night Live" comedian joked that he
knows he has an impression down perfectly "when you don't have
to tell people who it is." He thinks his best one is of Robin Williams.
"I just like that one because it's, like, so many different things,"
Fallon said. "Robin Williams is amazing. He does, like, 20 people.
There is no real Robin Williams. He does the gay choreographer,
he's like, a preacher, and he's a hick from upstate New York, in
five minutes."
Fallon's debut comedy album "The Bathroom Wall," which con
tains many of his impressions, hits stores Tuesday. He's also host
ing the MTV Video Music Awards Thursday night.
Bouncer found
guilty in murder trial
MAYS LANDING, N.J. (AP) -
A mistrial was declared
Tuesday in the murder trial of
an Atlantic City strip club
bouncer accused of beating a
customer to death.
After about three days of
deliberations, jurors said they
were deadlocked on murder
but voted to convict Tamer
Shahid, 26, of aggravated
assault and conspiracy in the
death of investment banker
Peter Westra.
But Judge Michael Connor,
citing the prosecutor's con
cerns about potential double
jeopardy, refused to officially
enter the verdicts. He declared
a mistrial on the murder count
and put off a decision about
the other two’ charges until
Sept. 12.
"The fact that they didn't
return a verdict on murder or
any of the homicide counts is a
victory," said defense attorney
Joel Mayer.
Prosecutor Murray Talasnik
said the state would seek to try
Shahid again for murder,
despite the defense's con
tention that Shahid never hit
Westra. He told Connor that
entering the verdicts might
compromise such a prosecu
tion and expose Shahid to
double jeopardy, trying him
twice for charges stemming
from the same incident.
The July 2001 death of the
24-year-old investment banker
came as he was attending a
bachelor party at Naked City
near the boardwalk.
After being ejected from the
club for allegedly groping
dancers, Westra tried to force
his way back in, according to
witnesses.
He was knocked to the side
walk by Shahid and four others
who kicked him, according to
prosecutors. Naked City's
owner, manager and two other
bouncers are awaiting trial on
aggravated assault charges.
Shahid was identified by two
eyewitnesses as the man who
repeatedly kicked Westra in
the head. He remains jailed on
$350,000 bail.
Author seeks
support for exhibit
NEW ORLEANS (AP) -
Historian and best-selling
author Stephen Ambrose asked
Southern governors to support
a planned museum exhibit that
would help each state recount
its unique contributions to the
World War II effort.
"All of America needed your
state's help in 1941 to win that
victory," Ambrose said Monday
a t a Southern Governors
Association luncheon at the
National D-Day Museum,
which he founded.
"Nearly every one of you sit
ting in the audience today have
ancestors who participated in
the war at home or overseas.
Your support for this project is
the best way you can say
thank you' to them for what
they did."
The exhibit's title, "We're All
in This Together," plays off a
common phrase in America
during World War II. The goal is
for each state to have two
identical multimedia kiosks —
one in the museum in New
Orleans and another at their
own state capital complex.
Ambrose, the 66-year-old
author of "D-Day" and a half-
dozen other best sellers, has
made few public appearances
since learning in late April that
ho has lung cancer. He began
oxperimental chemotherapy
treatment in May.
