WIRELESS FLASH BRIEFS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) -- Singer T-Boz of the group TLC may be beautiful now, but she used to be the butt of many jokes -- literally. T-Boz -- a.k.a. Tionne Watkins -- tells "Allure" magazine she used to be teased for having "no booty" and was so humiliated that she padded her pants and skirts to make it look like she had a bubble butt. -- CHICAGO -- Barbie's beau Ken better move over -- Frank Sinatra is taking his place. Tomorrow (Oct. 27) Mattel will debut a Frank Sinatra doll that's designed to be a companion to Barbie. Sinatra's daughter, Tina, will be on hand for the doll's launch at a Chicago nightspot. -- NEW YORK -- Here's proof American boat owners have water on the brain. According to a survey by Progressive Watercraft Insurance, boat owners think the Exxon Valdez oil spill is the biggest event of the 20th Century. They also claim "Jaws" is the most important novel. Even more amazing, most boat owners believe America's Cup skipper Dennis Connor has had a greater impact on history than John F. Kennedy.
