Prosecutors 1 have opened a perjury 2 investigation 3 against Democratic Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick following a newspaper report about some steamy text messages he sent to a top aide.

The FBI says that it has no information on the report the teen wanted to crash the plane into a Hannah Montana concert scheduled tonight in Louisiana.

Kucinich said he built transition out of the White House racing 6 into a campaign for another term in Congress. Kucinich won just 1% of the vote in the New Hampshire primary. The six-term Ohio congressman faces a tough re-election campaign.
Britney Spears has another court day today unrelated to her ongoing 7 child custody 8 battle. This time, it's a misdemeanor charge of driving without a license 9.
