Down goes Canseco

Onetime Sox slugger Jose Canseco was the one getting slugged Saturday. The disgraced former major leaguer was knocked down to the mat by former Philadelphia Eagle Vai Sikahema in the first round of a celebrity boxing match in Atlantic City. The 5-foot-9 Sikahema, who's 45 and works these days as a sportscaster, swarmed the 44-year-old Canseco, who stands 6-foot-4, as soon as the opening bell sounded. He knocked the admitted steroid user down twice before the fight was stopped. The crowd stood and roared. "When you step inside the square circle," Sikahema said, "don't ever think that your size is going to matter because in Philadelphia, we will chop you down." Sikahema donated $5,000 of his winnings to the family of slain Philly cop Stephen Liczbinski, who was killed in May while responding to a bank robbery. The fans booed as Canseco entered the ring. He inflamed the crowd by pointing toward Sikahema's corner and making a throat-slashing gesture.

Angelina Jolie became a mom for the fifth and sixth time over the weekend, delivering fraternal twins by C-section at a hospital in Nice, France. The boy, Knox Leon, arrived first at 6:27 p.m. Saturday, weighing in at 5.3 pounds, while daughter Vivienne Marcheline was born less than a minute later, weighing in at 5 pounds. Mother, babies, and father Brad Pitt, who was present, are all reportedly doing fine. The twins join siblings Maddox Chivan, 6, Pax Thien, 4, Zahara Marley, 3, and Shiloh Nouvel, 2. "The operation went just perfectly," Dr. Michael Sussmann told People magazine yesterday. "Angelina is in very good spirits." The doctor told the Associated Press that the Cesarean was moved forward "for medical reasons" so the babies could be born "in the best conditions." He said Jolie is expected to stay in the hospital for a few days.

Actors Josh Brolin and Jeffrey Wright were arrested early yesterday following a bar fight in Shreveport, La., where the two men are shooting the Bush biopic "W" with director Oliver Stone. According to a Shreveport police report, officers were called to the Stray Cat bar just after 2 a.m. to deal with a rowdy patron. Police say Brolin, 40, and Wright, 42, were busted for allegedly trying to impede officers as they tried to collar 29-year-old Eric Felland, a lighting technician on the film. (Felland was arrested for public intoxication and resisting arrest.) Brolin, who plays President Bush in the movie, was booked into the city jail and released after posting a $334 cash bond. Wright is playing Colin Powell. In all, seven people were arrested. (AP)

Eddie Murphy's latest inane comedy was no match for "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" at the weekend box office. "Hellboy II" ranked No. 1, raking in $35.9 million, while Murphy's "Meet Dave" tallied a paltry $5.3 million, landing with a thud at No. 7. Will Smith's "Hancock" was a solid second-place finisher, earning $33 million. In just 10 days, the movie has $165 million in the domestic bank. The 3-D "Journey to the Center of the Earth" was next at No. 3, with $20.6 million, substantially better than predicted for the Brendan Fraser, special effects-filled film. "WALL-E" finished at No. 4 with $18.5 million, and "Wanted" was No. 5 with $11.6 million. "Kung Fu Panda," which finished No. 8, now ranks as the year's third $200 million release, following "Iron Man" and "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." (AP)
