+++++++HELIUM VOICE: Tom Kenny, who supplies SpongeBob's high, nasal voice, was a standup comic who worked with Hillenburg on the 1993 animal cartoon series "Rocko's Modern World." When "SpongeBob" started in 1999, Hillenburg remembered an obscure character Kenny did years earlier, and envisioned it as the voice of his weird sea hero.

"It was in one episode in a crowd scene," Kenny recalled. "In the voice-over world we call the sound 'walla,' just a crowd of people mumbling and grumbling. Steve remembered I had done this squeaky, helium-voiced elf guy. Just a total throwaway voice."

Kenny had to go back and rewatch the episode to remember how to do it.

++++PATRICK THE STARFISH: Bill Fagerbakke, best known as Dauber from TV's "Coach," has a naturally deep voice, but has to swallow it further to play SpongeBob's dopey starfish friend Patrick.

The result, he said, is an audible version of the fat/skinny look of comedy teams like Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello - Patrick is the immense rumbler and SpongeBob is the high-pitched whiner.

"I just kinda pretend my mouth is in my chest and I just slooowww down," Fagerbakke said.

++++WHY ADULTS LIKE SPONGEBOB: "It's about keeping your kid-nature in life and not totally becoming a curmudgeon," Hillenburg said. "As we get older it gets harder to do that."

"SpongeBob's job is to just be positive and think that every day is going to be the best day ever," Kenny added. "The people around him either find that delightful or ... just irritating."

--Vanilla Ice
--Wants His Wallaroo Back
Nov 19, 7:55 AM EST

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Vanilla Ice wants his wallaroo back. The 36-year-old rap performer, who had a '90s hit with "Ice Ice Baby," called animal control officials Wednesday to report that a wallaroo and a goat found wandering around Port St. Lucie belong to him.

They had escaped from his back yard, city officials said.

He may have trouble getting his pets back. Neither the wallaroo, which is considered an exotic animal, nor farm animals such as the goat, are allowed in Port St. Lucie.

They were picked up Saturday by animal control after a woman reported them, saying the wallaroo, a cross between a kangaroo and a wallaby, had scratched her and kicked her car.

Vanilla Ice, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, wasn't at his Port St. Lucie home Wednesday. A schedule posted on his Web site said he was in California taping a motorcycle commercial.

--BRITNEY'S
--LETTER TO FANS: OCTOBER 15, 2004

Dear Fans,

I am going to start writing this column now as often as possible. The reason being is so I can talk directly to you, my fans, who have stuck by me & who continue to support me. Also, I'm not going to be as busy as my Mom. She's running behind my sister like crazy! I am also going to take some time off to enjoy life. I've actually learned to say "NO!" With this newly found freedom, its like people don't know how to act around me. Should we talk to her like we did when she was 16 or like the Icon everyone says she is? My prerogative right now is to just chill & let all of the other overexposed blondes on the cover of Us Weekly be your entertainment... GOOD LUCK GIRLS!! I'm sorry that my life seemed like it was all over the place the past 2 years, it's probably because IT WAS! I understand now what they mean when they talk about child stars. Going & going & going is all I've ever known since I was 15 years old. It's amazing what advisors will push you to do, even if it means taking a naive, young, blonde girl & putting her on the cover of every magazine.

I know now that my knee gave out on me this past summer so that I would have no choice but to stop. My body was shutting down and needed rest. It's funny how the Man upstairs works. Right now, I have to go-- I really want to watch "Saved" with Mandy Moore and re-runs of "Sex and the City." I want to enjoy all of the simple things that I missed over the past few years due to working way too much.

Being married is GREAT and I can't wait to start my family! There is so much change going on right now... not only with me, but in the world, as well. So, the next time you see my face, hear one of my songs or even if I'm the topic of your next conversation, please remember that times are changing & so am I.

Love always, Britney

P.S. I look forward to writing you all again soon. Kevin and I are finally able to take our Honeymoon!!
