6A THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN ENTERTAINMENT PEOPLE DAMAGED CIRCUS Hilton still not ready to give up the farm PENGUINS TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2005 Greg Griesenauer/KANSAN FRESH TIMES Doug Lang/KANSAN Steven Levy/KANSAN FANCY COMIX CULVER CITY, Calif. — Paris Hilton says she isn't giving up "The Simple Life" just yet. Hilton said she and Richie would continue working on "The Simple Life" because other networks wanted it. Last week, 20th Century Fox Television, the studio that produces the show, said it hoped "The Simple Life" will move to another network - with Hilton and Richie. "We're shooting Nov. 1," said the 24-year-old hotel heiress, who had a front-row seat at the Louis Verdad fashion show Sunday. "All the networks are fighting over it." Andrew Hadle/KANSAN Fox said last week it had canceled the reality show starring Hilton and Nicole Richie. The network said its midseason schedule didn't have a time slot for a fourth season, prompting speculation the feuding ex-friends no longer proved compatible. News show host not favored by neighbors The Associated Press NEWYORK — City officials have ordered Ann Curry to shorten the penthouse she had built atop her Upper West Side home or face a public hearing. The "Today" show news anchor and "Dateline NBC" co-host has been clashing with neighbors over the structure and other renovations since she bought the four-story brownstone in November 2003, neighbor Lynne Lummel told the New York Post for Monday's editions. - The Associated Press The Stars Show the Kind of Dav You'll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-sc; 1-Difficul ▼ HOROSCOPES HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, Oct. 18, 2005: Do not take unusual risks, no matter how appealing they might be this year. You have a great imagination, but when it comes to financial matters, you could be easily deceived. Walk the straight and narrow, if possible. Others mean well with their advice, but often you will not like the results. If you are single, you are definitely wearing rose-colored glasses concerning love. The same would apply to anyone you relate to. Give yourself a year to get to know someone. If you are attached, it seems that the two of you are speaking different languages. Work on communicating. The caring is there. Refuse to argue. Figure out how to work out misinformation and misunderstandings together. TAURUS is stubborn. ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Stay in control of your temper, though certainly this is a frustrating moment for you. What you feel is clear becomes foggy. Clarify, verify and double-check all communications and meetings. Tonight: Do what you need to do for yourself. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Your powerful personality helps you ease through the GEMINI (May 21-June 20) many ups and downs that today provides. By now you know that a boss or parent might be quite nebulous or into his or her imagination. Today you get one more reminder. Tonight: If making plans, make sure you are on the same page as someone else. ★★★ You might want to let your imagination run loose, but don't share your many wild and creative thoughts with others right now; your message won't get through. Keep to yourself right now, and don't get into anyone else's issues. Tonight: Get some extra sleep. ★★★ You aim high for what you want; expect others to help you achieve your goals. A key associate or partner might be more of a hindrance at this point than he or she must be. Relax and focus. You need to support yourself. Tonight: Where your friends are. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★ Confusion could be your middle name, but many other people feel confused too. Part of the issue, as you will see, is that someone or several people with a positive perspective might not understand your expectations Tonight: A must appearance. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ It might be important to verify what you think you heard, be it a conversation or instructions. Take nothing for granted, and you will be a lot happier. Your creativity and imagination could go wild. Don't follow these flights of fancy. Tonight: Take a long-term look at what you have been thinking about. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ What a partner or associate says or does is in direct conflict with what you feel needs to happen. Sometimes you need to let others see the end results of your actions rather than put in your two cents. Everyone learns best from experience. Tonight: Say little. SCROLL (Uc. 23-11-Nov. 27) ★★★ Confusion can mark the next few days if you aren't careful. Someone -- probably not you -- has his or her facts mixed up. All you can do is confirm and verify conversations and meetings. Also, maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Go along with others. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ATTARIS (NO. 22-12-06) ★★★ Keep to your daily tasks, and try to stay away from confusion. Use care when driving, because others, as well as you, might be disoriented. In fact, if you can, walk instead. Put on music wherever you are. Tonight: Slow down. Stay out of trouble. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Sometimes you might not know which way to turn. Right now, be a cynic, especially concerning a money matter. You might not be wrong, but today carries a high element of risk. Tonight: Fun can be a game of Scrabble. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.18) AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ You are in another world right now, and getting you to land might be difficult, if not impossible. You might want to cocoon, but your best bet is to stay present and don't plunge into a new project. Tonight: Now, homeward bound. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★ Take your time, even if you feel you have much to do and so little time. You might be more in your head than you realize. Confirm meetings and what others say. The clearer you are the better. Tonight: Swap the day's war stories.
