  Birds are stars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Charlotte boasts proximity to some of the best island birding in the country, from Don Pedro Island's state park to nearby Lee County's Sanibel Island and Cayo Costa.
Charlotte Harbor, the estuary where the Peace River winds toward the Gulf of Mexico, is a life-support system for the county's birds.
Charlotte is also a frequent destination for expert birders and competitive birding teams, but birding remains an inclusive sport.

 Hilary Duff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After gaining fame for her starring role on the television show Lizzie McGuire, she has gone on to have a film career, with roles in high profile releases such as The Lizzie McGuire Movie, Cheaper by the Dozen, Cheaper by the Dozen 2 and A Cinderella Story.
Her first major part was as the star of the 1998 film Casper Meets Wendy, playing the young witch, Wendy, who encounters the animated character Casper.
She reprised her role in the sequel, Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (2005), which failed to repeat the financial success of the original film and was panned by critics.

 "My Wife Is an Actress" - Salon
Charlotte Gainsbourg stars in a slight French charmer that asks the question: When she kisses that hot guy on-screen, is it for real?
The movie's art-imitates-life fillip is that the writer-director Yvan Attal stars as the sportswriter, whose name is Yvan, and Attal's real-life spouse, Charlotte Gainsbourg, plays his actress wife, whose name is, yes, Charlotte.
The guy's an ass, but when Yvan tries to tell him that Charlotte's sex scenes are no more real than a scene where an actor is gunned down, the doctor knows -- as we in the audience know -- that it's not a good answer.

 World Football League
According to the traditional account, the Stars obtained a set of "C" decals from the NFL's Chicago Bears and placed these atop the "star" decal that the New York Stars had worn on their helmets, in order to cover up the "NY" monogram on the earlier decal.
The resulting "logo" was presumably therefore a burnt orange "C" with a white outline, atop a yellow star with a white outline (apparently the middle of the "C" decal was not transparent, so that it obscured the middle of the star).
After playing one game as the Charlotte Stars, the former New York Stars were renamed the Charlotte Hornets for the last six games of the 1974 season (the WFL played a 20-game regular season in 1974).
