EXTRA! EXTRA!

Now why Prince William's living like a pauper, what the Grinch stole besides Christmas, and why Whitney was the one to watch this weekend in the Bahamas. Want more? You got it in today's EXTRA EXTRA.

It was an impromptu jam session island style! Whitney Houston belted out some Bobby Brown songs down in the Bahamas. The couple, along with Stevie Wonder and Gloria Estefan, was on hand for a party at the legendary Ocean Club on Paradise Island. The resort, which just underwent a hundred million-dollar facelift, is a celebrity's hideaway. People like Star Jones clamor for the club's privacy and luxury.

She says, "Everyone knows your name, how many pillows you like to sleep with, the know what kind of drinks you want!"

Ron Howard, Shirley Maclaine and Ellen Degeneres were in New York City for the annual Directors Guild of America awards. The gala honored Sydney Pollack and senator. Ted Kennedy for their TV and film support. Howard has a big hit with the Grinch, so would he like to team up for another Carrey comedy?

He says, "We've talked about it. Jim's only request to me was that he not have to wear three and a half hours of make up every day. And I said you know, you got it!"

The boy who would be king is having some fun with kids in Chile. Prince William took time away from his volunteer work to play a little pattycake with the locals! But it wasn't all fun and games for the prince. He was also seen carrying wood and getting tough with a sledgehammer. It's all part of the prince's 10-week trip to Patagonia to do volunteer work.



Hey, where there's a Will… there's a way in today's EXTRA EXTRA!
