Sundance picks Seattle film on horse-sex case

The Sundance Film Festival announced Wednesday that Seattle filmmaker Robinson Devor's documentary "Zoo" has been accepted into the 2007 festival's documentary competition. The film examines the widely reported case of an Enumclaw man who died in 2005 after having sex with a horse.

"Zoo" is one of 16 documentaries selected for competition (out of 856 submitted), all of which will screen as world premieres. Devor has had two previous films at Sundance: the made-in-Seattle drama "Police Beat," and "The Woman Chaser."

The Sundance Film Festival will take place Jan. 18-28 in Park City, Utah.

Snoop Dogg in drug, gun arrest

BURBANK, Calif. — Snoop Dogg was arrested Tuesday for investigation of illegally possessing a handgun and drugs as he left NBC Studios after performing on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," police said.

The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and two members of his entourage were arrested after a search of his Diamond Bar, Calif., home and car, Sgt. Kevin Grandalski said.

Police seized a handgun and some illegal drugs, Grandalski said. He did not have details.

The rapper was arrested for investigation of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, possessing cocaine, transporting marijuana and having a false compartment in his vehicle, Grandalski said.

"He was in a car pulling out of the studio" when police stopped him, said his attorney Donald Etra.

Etra said Broadus made bail of $60,000 and was released Wednesday.

The rapper was expected to be arraigned Jan. 11, he said.

Two acknowledged gang members who are associates of Broadus also were taken into custody, Grandalski said.

Museum to honor all things ABBA

STOCKHOLM, Sweden — A museum dedicated to the music, clothing and history of Swedish supergroup ABBA will open in Stockholm in 2008, organizers said Tuesday.

While the group hasn't performed together since 1982, ABBA continues to sell nearly 3 million records a year, and the musical "Mamma Mia!" — written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus and based on the group's hits — has been seen by more than 27 million people around the world.

Organizers are still searching for a suitable location for the museum, but said it will open somewhere in central Stockholm in 2008.

The interactive museum will feature original outfits and instruments, handwritten song lyrics, a display of awards and "all other things we can think of and find," said Ulf Westman, an event consultant who is spearheading the project.

Japanese TV host is truly the most

TOKYO — There's no escaping Norio Minorikawa on Japanese TV. He hosts news shows, talk shows, wildlife shows — even his country's version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire."

On Tuesday he reaped the benefit of all that work: a Guinness World Record for most live hours on the tube by a TV host.

Better known to Japanese fans as Monta Mino, Minorikawa spends a total of 21 hours and 42 minutes every week on live TV across 11 shows, according to the Guinness Web site.

"I'm touched. I want to die talking," he told Guinness Chief Operating Officer Alistair Richards at a presentation ceremony in Tokyo.
