THE WATER COOLER

Here are a few of the things in news, entertainment and pop culture that we've been talking about lately.

* Las Vegas' historic Fifth Street School is re-dedicated as an arts and culture center. Upcoming exhibits include "20th Century Hand Turkeys: A Thanksgiving Retrospective."

* Clay Aiken announces he's gay. Too bad, because he and that nice Lindsay Lohan would have made such a cute couple.

* Heather Locklear is arrested on suspicion of DUI. Proposed ballot issue: California police departments must have a stylist on-hand 24/7 to prevent tax-paying fans from being disillusioned by stars' invariably creepy mug shots.

* David Blaine hangs upside-down for 60 hours in Central Park. At the rate his "stunts" are devolving, Blaine's next death-defying feat will be getting a filling -- without novocaine!

* The R-J's Doug Elfman reports that Criss Angel's "Believe" opens to less-than-enthusiastic audience response. Houdini didn't conclude his shows by singing a dumb little ditty and he's a legend. Do the math,Criss.

* Paul Newman succumbs to cancer. He had vision and the rest of the world is wearing tear-streaked bifocals.
