CHILDREN QUESTION WILL LAS VEGAS (AP) Four of B.B. King's daughters
believe there may be a second will. A lawyer for Patty King, Karen
Williams, Rita Washington and Barbara Winfree have filed court
documents in Las Vegas that say their father's longtime business
manager, LaVerne Toney, is unqualified to be executor of his estate.
They stop short of previous allegations that Toney and an aide poisoned
B.B. King, but they say she gave him improper medical care. They also
say she stole his wealth and changed the locks at his house so no
family or friends were with him when he died last month. A court
hearing is set for Friday. JIMI HENDRIX MASKS ARE CENTER OF WORLD

MARTIN KEMP BALANCES MUSIC AND ACTING LONDON (AP) Spandau Ballet
bassist Martin Kemp enjoys acting as much as music. In fact, his
favorite is whatever he happens to be doing at the moment. Kemp says
being on tour means he gets to hang out with his friends, but doing an
acting project means he can be judged solely on his own merits. If he
could, though, he'd chuck it all and become a soccer player. Kemp says
