* Brooke Astor marked the start of her 106th year Friday with a birthday so quiet that she dozed through a visit from her son. The philanthropist and socialite, ensconced at her property in tony Briarcliff Manor, N.Y., north of New York City, was asleep when her 82-year-old son Anthony Marshall came by with a pink azalea, said his attorney, Kenneth Warner. “She does spend a lot of time sleeping,” Warner said.
* Michael Jackson is “a little bit under the weather” but hasn’t sought hospital treatment, his spokeswoman said. “He is not in the hospital and he has not been in the hospital,” Raymone Bain said Thursday, denying reports that Jackson, 48, had been hospitalized with pneumonia. Bain said she spoke with Jackson from his Las Vegas home.
