NFL HOFer and Ultimatebid.com spokesman JOE MONTANA
appeared on "The Late Late Show" Wednesday night with CRAIG
KILBORN. Kilborn attempted to grasp the concept of
Ultimatebid.com, which allows fans to bid for a chance to
live out a fantasy with a celebrity or sports personality
like Montana. Kilborn: "For people who are boring and
haven't had the great life you've had?" Montana explained
that prices for the bid packages are not all expensive.
Montana: "It goes all the way down to $40, $50." Kilborn:

Rocker or something like that?" ("The Late Late Show," CBS,
2/10)....SYLVESTER STALLONE, on his new movie on the CART

tell him how not to be, how to blow your life, because I
have" ("RPM 2Night," ESPN2, 2/10)....The THOROUGHBRED OWNERS
