"AMERICAN IDOL" CONTESTANTS ARE SICK AND TIRED

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The girl who fell off the stage during "American Idol's" Hollywood Week is OK -- but some of other 185 contestants don't seem to be. Symone Black was taken to a hospital after fainting off the stage. She attributes it to poor eating and not enough water. "Tent Girl" Amy Brumfield got a new nickname -- "Patient Zero" -- because she brought a bug to Hollywood that other contestants caught. Some singers got sick...of each other, as diva behavior reared its head. Contestants stayed up all night putting together their group routines. The groups will perform for the judges beginning next week.

HEATHER MILLS SAYS PAUL McCARTNEY VOICEMAILS WERE HACKED

LONDON (AP) -- Paul McCartney's ex-wife is taking on CNN interviewer Piers Morgan in Britain's media ethics inquiry. Heather Mills testified two dozen phone messages McCartney had left for her after they had a fight in January 2001 had been hacked. She says it was strange that the messages had been listed as having been already listened to before she had accessed them. She says a journalist for the British newspaper group Trinity Mirror confronted her, and she said there's no way he could know that without hearing her messages -- and he laughed. Morgan, who was editor of the Daily Mirror tabloid, said last year he hadn't ordered any hacking or asked his reporters to write stories based on hacked messages. He says he heard Mills' voicemail but refused to say how he had gotten it.
