Kay Scarpetta knifed by Agent Lesbian
LIKE all the best romances, it began with a smouldering glance and "electricity in the air". It ended with a bungled kidnapping, attempted murder and salacious accounts of lesbian hanky panky. More than a decade after Patricia Cornwell, the bestselling crime novelist, was unwittingly thrust into an explosive tabloid saga involving revenge, obsession and scantily clad FBI agents, one of the leading characters has decided to tell her story. In Twisted Triangle, a book to be published in April, Cornwell’s brief lesbian dalliance with an FBI instructor named Margo Bennett is subjected to excruciating scrutiny - not to mention excruciating prose of the "As their eyes met . . ." variety. Bennett’s decision to tell her story to a professional ghost-writer has reopened a painful but mostly farcical episode of seduction, betrayal and bullet-proof vests.
Little defends Red Dragons
Wrexham boss Brian Little defended his players after a mass brawl marred their 0-0 draw at high-flying Peterborough United.
Posh manager Darren Ferguson was fuming after seeing his goalkeeper Joe Lewis stretchered off following a clash with Dragons defender Steve Evans, but Little played down any intent in the incident.
He told BBC Sport Wales: "Steve was a little bit late with challenge, but I thought that he genuinely went for the ball.
"He scored a header from an identical situation last week. I'm 100 per cent sure that it was an accident, Steve's eyes didn't leave the ball.
"We are fighting like crazy to stay up. The gameplan is about pressure, but the last thing in the world we are is over-physical.
"However, the brawl shouldn't have happened, we need to be better behaved than that."

Tattle: Oprah has a new way to channel her power
IF ONLY Oprah had more to do. Between the TV show and the magazine and the South African school and the ABC series starting in March and the XM satellite radio channel and producing movies and shows, could there possibly be any hours left for her to accomplish anything else? Turns out, yes. She's getting her own channel. Discovery Communications and Oprah announced yesterday that the Discovery Health network will become OWN - the Oprah Winfrey Network. The cash-free transaction involved Oprah turning over her Web site to Discovery and Discovery naming Oprah chairman of her new channel, currently available in 68 million homes. So said David Zaslav, Discovery Communications chief. "The focus of the channel will be the focus of Oprah's brand, which is to educate and inspire people to live the best life they can," Zaslav said.
