Guitarist Borland leaves Limp Bizkit

In what the band’s publicist describes as a friendly parting, Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland has decided to leave the band.

Borland has been with the band since it began in 1994.

The band is not releasing any information about who will fill Borland’s shoes, according to Bizkit’s publicist.

It is not yet known whether Borland will continue with Big Dumb Face, his side project from last year.

Rosie takes time off due to anthrax

Talk show host Rosie O’Donnell said she will take a week off following the anthrax scare at NBC’s Rockefeller Center.

A fellow NBC employee was exposed to the anthrax bacteria after opening a letter addressed to news anchor Tom Brokaw.

O’Donnell tapes her show in the same building as Brokaw.
