ARTISTS Or la nd A rt G al le ry t o host July 4 reception The Fourth of July is one of the busiest days and weekends of the year at Whiskeytown National Recreation Area. Most popular park areas will fill up quickly with vis- itors and parking will be very limited. Plan to ar- rive early, and have an al- ternative plan should your favorite spot already be oc- cupied. Brandy Creek Beach will have lifeguards on duty from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The parking lots, picnic areas and beaches fill up early in the day. The parking lots often reach capacity between 10 a.m. and noon. Once the parking lots are full, all vehicles will be stopped at the Whiskey- town Dam. Visitors may be allowed to wait at the dam until parking spaces open at Brandy Creek; the average wait time may be up to one hour or lon- ger. Last year, Park Rang- ers stopped and turned around hundreds of cars after Brandy Creek Beach was full at noon. The Oak Bottom area is an alternative to Brandy Creek Beach. There is a small picnic area and beach. The Oak Bottom beach does not have life- guards. This area also fills quickly due to limited parking. As a reminder, all smok- ing, pets, and alcohol are prohibited at Brandy Creek Beach, Oak Bottom Beach and East Beach areas. The park has fire restrictions due to high fire danger, all fires must be in desig- nated picnic areas or camp- grounds in established fire rings or grills, and smok- ing may only occur in your vehicle or in designated parking lots. The use or possession of all fireworks are prohibited at Whiskey- town National Recreation Area. Please display your park day use pass on the driv- er's side of the dashboard of your vehicle. Day use passes can be purchased at the Visitor Center or at sev- eral other locations in the park. Please do not leave valuable items in your ve- hicles and always lock your vehicle. Remember to not drink and drive or operate a boat while under the in- fluence of alcohol. If you swim or boat, please wear a lifejacket. For further information, go to the Visitor Center, which is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every day, or visit the park website at http:// www.nps.gov/WHIS. RECREATION Wh is ke yt ow n ex pe ct ed t o dr aw c ro wd s AssociatedPress NEW YORK Lindsay Lohan is suing the makers of the "Grand Theft Auto" video games. The actress says the latest installment used her image and created a char- acter based on her without her permission. Lohan's lawsuit was filed Wednesday in a Manhattan court. "Grand Theft Auto V" game maker Take-Two In- teractive Software Inc. and subsidiary Rockstar Games declined to comment. "Grand Theft Auto V" was released in September. Sales topped $800 million on its first day. Lohan's lawsuit says a character named Lacey Jo- nas is an "unequivocal" ref- erence to the "Mean Girls" and "Freaky Friday" star. The suit says Lohan's image, voice and styles from her clothing line are depicted. It says the game features West Hol- lywood's Chateau Mar- mont hotel, where Lohan once lived. The character also seeks help skirting paparazzi. CELEBRITIES Lohan sues over 'Grand The Auto V' game By Jill Lawless Associated Press LONDON The members of Monty Python are aim- ing to move like Jagger in their live farewell shows. The five surviving Py- thons have reunited for 10 dates at London's 15,000- seat O2 Arena starting Tuesday. It's a fast-paced comic revue that requires the septuagenarian comedi- ans to act, sing, dance and pull off rapid-fire costume changes. Michael Palin says the group drew inspiration from the Rolling Stones frontman, still gyrating at 70. "A kind of madness takes over," Palin told a news conference on Mon- day. "You just leap about at a certain point." Fellow comedian Terry Gilliam added: "Our ver- sion of 'Brown Sugar' is far better." It turns out the Stones singer is one of Monty Python's many famous fans. Jagger has filmed a promo clip for the show, in which he asks wryly why audiences would want to watch a "bunch of wrin- kly old men trying to re- live their youth." It has been 40 years since "Monty Python's Fly- ing Circus" was on tele- vision, but the anarchic troupe remains a phenom- enon. World-renowned phys- icist Stephen Hawking — another Python aficio- nado — is due to make a guest appearance in the show. Journalists at Monday's news confer- ence came from Britain, the U.S., Canada, Austra- lia and beyond. A Spaniard asked about the Spanish Inquisition sketch; a Finn wanted to know "How do you feel about Finland?" (Answer: Monty Py- thon wrote a song about the Nordic nation. It's in the show). Eric Idle, who has done much of the work assem- bling the evening, said fans can expect old favor- ites, back-catalog gems and a few new twists. "Our motto has been: leave them wanting less," he said. As well as Idle, Palin, Gilliam, John Cleese and Terry Jones, the show fea- tures a dance troupe, sing- ing lumberjacks, Spam- loving Vikings, a dead parrot and much more. It is, unsurprisingly, a bit naughty. "I'm happy and proud to say it's actually rather filthy," Idle said. The troupe last per- formed together at the Hollywood Bowl in 1980. Times, and the Pythons, have changed since then. "All the audience was smoking marijuana," said Jones. "When John and I went into the audience we came out pretty high." Now, said Palin, "we've got some Viagra in our dressing room." Each member of the group has adopted his own style of preparation for the 10-night stand, which ends July 20 with a show beamed to 1,800 movie theaters around the world. "I've not been drinking for a week," said Jones. Idle has been hiking and running. Cleese has opted for "sleeping more," while Palin is enduring "a pun- ishing schedule of lying down and watching tele- vision." This may be the end of the road for Monty Py- thon, but none of its mem- bers plans to retire. Up- coming projects include a memoir from Cleese and a movie by Jones based on Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite." "I think of it as a pre- posthumous memorial service," Gilliam said of the last bow. "Preposterous?" Palin chipped in. The Pythons still slip seamlessly into affectionate banter when they are together. Mortality is just an- other thing to be laughed at. The show is titled "One Down, Five to Go" in honor of the sixth Py- thon, Graham Chapman. He died of cancer in 1989 but will appear onscreen. "We'll just carry on working till we drop," said Palin. "If one of us has died, the rest of us will bring in more money."
