Who could have guessed? Madonna - the crucifix-and-camisole girl with the divine name - is a little weak on her biblical history.

"Israel, finally after all these years and I'm in your holy city," she told 50,000 screaming fans in Tel Aviv. "Don't ever forget how wonderful your city is."

Tel Aviv residents would describe their city - a sun-bleached sprawl of cafes, nightspots and beaches - as many things. Holy isn't one of them.

Madonna had been impressed by a tour Monday of holy sites in the Jerusalem area, a 40-mile drive from Tel Aviv, and was evidently referring to that visit.

Marilyn Tucker Quayle has a quick answer for why she's always been seen as so much smarter than her husband.

"He's blond," she said in Wednesday's New York Times. "Yeah, blonds have more fun. That's why Madonna dyed her hair. If I was a blonde with the same demeanor, people would have a totally different attitude toward me."

The wife of former Vice President Dan Quayle said she loves her new law office in Indianapolis, is finishing a second novel with her sister, and is giving inspirational speeches around the country to groups like Girls Inc., formerly the Girls Clubs of America.

But she said: "I'd be a fool to say that I didn't miss the gardeners and the stewards" at the vice president's mansion. "I miss my friends. I do not miss the intrigue."

Tanya Tucker could be topping the real estate ledgers as well as the country music charts.

She paid $2.5 million for a 500-acre estate in Williamson County, Tenn. That may be the most ever paid for a residence in central Tennessee, said Lura Bainbridge, the real estate agent who handled the transaction.

The 34-year-old singer's hits include "Down to My Last Teardrop" and "Delta Dawn."

Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger have decided on Patrick Arnold for their 2-week-old boy. Master Schwarzenegger to you.
