Glitter, whose real name is Paul Francis Gadd, was convicted in Britain in 1999 of possessing child p*rnography and served half of a four-month sentence before being released. He had lived quietly in Cambodia until police caught him living without proper registration in April. A subsequent media frenzy and public outcry forced him to leave the Southeast Asian country, but he later returned to Cambodia and was living in an unknown location before police detained him. His expulsion was ordered Dec. 28, said Khieu Sopheak, who said he could not say when Glitter was arrested or when he left.
Khieu Sopheak did not know where Glitter was headed. He declined to discuss details of the arrest, saying only that Glitter "had violated Cambodian laws." No charges were filed.

That's how the 18-year-old Canadian singer pronounced the veteran rock star's name when the Grammy nominations were announced Tuesday.
Lavigne was helping announce the nominees for best male rock vocal performance at Madison Square Garden when she made the gaffe, pronouncing Bowie's name like "Howie." When an Associated Press reporter told her afterward that she had flubbed Bowie's name, Lavigne said: "Oops! I knew that was going to happen, I knew I was going to pronounce someone's name wrong." Lavigne received five Grammy nominations of her own, including best new artist and song of the year for her hit "Complicated." Bowie, who turned 56 yesterday, was nominated for the song "Slow Burn." He won a Grammy in 1984 for his long-form video, "David Bowie."

Eisenhower on the golf course, we find out he was a duffer.
Ike never broke 100. 4a. Former President George H.W. Bush may have a "plain vanilla" personality, but at least he doesn't forget his friends. Bush still keeps in touch with fellow members of Skull Bones, the supersecret Yale society.
And President Jimmy Carter once confided that if the :117 United States would just be nice to Russia, maybe the tough communist regime would be nice, too. This and more in a gossipy book about nine former U.S. presidents by the man who knew them all Thomas Vail, publisher of The Plain Dealer from 1963 to 1991. Vail, who self-published "Nine Presidents: Character POL Sketches From Personal Interviews," met one-on-one with Harry S. Truman and Eisenhower after they left office, but knew the lineup from John F.
Kennedy through Gerald Ford while they served. Vail includes a photo of bare-chested George Bush the elder, fresh from the pool at Vail's Hunting Valley home. The former publisher reports sneaking a contraband Cuban cigar to Kennedy, who waited until guests adjourned from the White House state dining room before telling Vail, "Let's light up." Vail's favorite statesmen: Truman and Ronald Reagan. His vote for the most fun prez: LBJ. Vail was in Lyndon Johnson's Cleveland hotel suite when the late "big bear" president playfully swept up Katherine Graham and threw the startled Washington Post publisher on the bed, "where she bounced up and down once or twice." The book, $15, is at Joseph-Beth Booksellers at Shaker Square, Cleveland; Borders at La Place, Beachwood; and Fireside Bookshop in Chagrin Falls.
And the potty prize goes to A rest stop in Ashtabula County is the place to go, according to the winner of the "Favorite Place to Pee for Free," a sweepstakes sponsored by a company that makes urinary tract infection medications. Kim O'Leary, a bookkeeper from North East, nominated the travel information center on westbound I-90, just before the Pennsylvania line, as being "always just really clean." "It's always a stop for us," said O'Leary, who once made the travel center a daily pit stop on her way to see her I. mother, a patient at the Cleveland Clinic. Uristat, the manufacturer of an over-the-counter analgesic, selected O'Leary's entry from about 17,000. She won a trip to a Florida spa.
Other Cleveland-area rest rooms nominated included those in Beachwood Place and Jacobs Field. i Sticky lyrics all on tape "I Never Get Stuck," a song in praise of duct tape, has wrapped up $2,500 for the local band Vitallus from Avonbased Duck tape maker Henkel Consumer Adhesives Inc. (formerly Manco). Gripping lyrics such as "wrap your boots when they get worn, tape your coat so you stay warm," sealed the win for Vitallus members David and Daniel Kruzer of North Olmsted and Jeffrey Smith of Chagrin Falls, beating out 163 entries from 33 states and Canada. Weird contests are the rule for the wacky, quacky Duck tape company.
Last year, 500 couples entered prom outfits made from the tape in the annual Stuck at the Prom scholarship competition. Later this month, company reps hope to claim the grand prize in an international competition spotlighting great public relations programs. Their entry: a U.S. flag made from 13 miles of red, white and blue duct tape. re Avril Lavigne To reach this Plain Dealer reporter: 216-999-5478 LOOKING FOR A RESTAURANT?
