William admits to pre-wedding anxiety
LONDON, April 1 (UPI) -- England's Prince William admits he is nervous about his upcoming wedding to longtime girlfriend Kate Middleton.
The couple, who have been together for about eight years, are to marry April 29 at Westminster Abbey in London.
William was asked after demonstrating his work as a search-and-rescue pilot on a training exercise out of Royal Air Force Valley, where he is based, what is worrying him the most about the big day ahead, the London Evening Standard reported Friday.
"The whole thing!" the newspaper quoted the prince as saying. "I was telling everyone I did the rehearsal the other day and my knees started tapping quite nervously. It's quite a daunting prospect but very exciting and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it but there's still a lot of planning to be done in the last four weeks."
Rutgers: Students called for Snooki speech
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., April 2 (UPI) -- Officials at Rutgers University in New Jersey said the student body wanted to hear Snooki speak -- and that's what they got.
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, star of MTV's "Jersey Shore," appeared at the New Brunswick campus this week and picked up a check for $32,000 to dispense such nuggets as, "Study hard, but party harder."
Polizzi's appearance caused a stir when it was revealed Rutgers paid her $2,000 more than what Nobel Prize laureate Toni Morrison will get when she speaks at graduation May 15, The Hollywood Reporter said Saturday.
But a university spokesman said in a written statement Rutgers students were canvassed for who they wanted to see as part of their on-campus speaking series, and fellow Jersey girl Polizzi was a top choice.
"We have more than 200 events on our campus during the course of the year, everything from scholarly presentations to entertainment," Rutgers spokesman Steve Manas said, noting other television actors wanted much more than $32,000 for an appearance.

Lohan: 911 call key in Betty Ford scuffle
LOS ANGELES, April 2 (UPI) -- Lindsay Lohan says a 911 call backs up her version of a December confrontation with a worker at the Betty Ford Center in California, a source told TMZ.com.
Riverside County prosecutors this week declined to file charges against Lohan over the alleged scuffle at the famed Betty Ford clinic in which she allegedly hit Dawn Holland with a telephone.
A source close to the actress said Lohan believes Holland sounds "rude" and "aggressive" in the 911 call. TMZ said Saturday Holland also makes a reference to suing the actress on the recording.
Lohan still has a theft case pending in Los Angeles County. She has told acquaintances the surveillance video of the incident backs up her contention she did not intend to steal a necklace when she walked out of the store wearing it.
