Phish singer pleads not guilty
ASSOCIATED PRESS
FORT EDWARD, N.Y. — Trey Anastasio pleaded not guilty Tuesday to drug charges stemming from a Dec. 15 traffic stop and was released on bail.
He could get 14 years in prison if convicted on all counts. All the charges, though, carry minimum sentences that involve no incarceration.
The former Phish frontman, of Richmond, Vt., is charged with felony counts of illegally possessing prescription painkillers and driving while impaired. He is also charged with possessing heroin and an anti-anxiety medication prescribed for someone else, which are misdemeanors.
Anastasio, who appeared in court to enter the plea, agreed to a pre-plea investigation that would help the court get to know him better "and help you resolve your case," Judge Kelly McKeighan said.
Attorney Steve Coffey said Anastasio, 42, had a drug problem and was seeking treatment. He attended a 28-day treatment program in January and was attempting to overcome his addiction,
Coffey said. "He has a problem, he
knows it and is working with it."
Coffey said.
Coffey also said Anastasia instructed him not to fight the charges.
Anastasio and his wife, Susan, left without commenting to a crowd of media.
He is scheduled to return to court March 27.

"He told me. I'm here to face the consequences and work it out with the court and go on with my life!" Coffey said.

Oprah special beats out Barbara Walters
ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey beat Barbara Walters at her own game during Oscar's week.
Winfrey's first Academy Awards interview special reached 15.4 million viewers last Thursday on ABC. Walters' special on Oscars night, her 26th, drew an audience of 14.5 million, according to Nielsen Media Research.
The two media titans made a point of saying they were not in competition, and their shows had separate themes. Winfrey set up Oscar winners to interview other Oscar winners — Julia Roberts and George Clooney, for example. Walters did her traditional interview show, this year with Helen Mirren, Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson.
Walters' show ran before the Oscars in eastern time zones, and after the ceremony out west Wintrey's special run on Thursday directly following ABC's hottest show, "Grey's Anatomy."
For the network ratings competition last week, the arithmetic was simple: three nights of "American Idol" trumps one night of the Academy Awards.
The Oscars were seen by 40.2 million viewers on Sunday,up from last year's audience of 38.8 million, Nielsen said.
Even though that led ABC to its best ratings week in more than a year, Fox took the crown because it aired an "American Idol" special Thursday to go with its normal two nights of competition.
Fox averaged 15 million viewers in prime time last week, while ABC averaged 13 million. CBS had 11.2 million, NBC had 8 million, the CW had 3 million and the i network had 680,000.
Among the Spanish-language networks, Univision led with 4.3 million
viewers, Telemundo had 840,000 ano
TeleFutura had 680,000.
For the second time in three weeks, ABC's "World News" won the evening news ratings race, averaging 9.4 million viewers. NBC's "Nightly News" averaged 9.1 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 6.9 million.
A ratings point represents 1,114,000 households, or 1 percent of the nation's estimated 111.4 million TV homes. The share is the percentage of in-use televisions tuned to a given show.
