The Dallas Cowboys receiver, who in 2005 helped the Eagles to their second Super Bowl game, might just be interested in an acting career beyond the end zone. And the self-celebrating star is uncharacteristically humble in his approach.

"This a great start to let me get my feet wet," Owens told the Associated Press. "For an actor trying to become an A-lister, I think I'm on the bottom of the pile. I'm a D-lister." For now. "It's a start for me, and I don't like to fail at anything I do." Now, that's more like T.O.'Sex' takes a holiday

What, New York isn't good enough?

Sex and the City, the movie version of the HBO series, had its world premiere in London yesterday. That's in England, you may recall, the realm that gave us a play with the title No Sex Please, We're British. London's Telegraph newspaper reports in its online edition that SATC "is the hottest ticket of the year." British fans screamed their appreciation for stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall outside the Odeon Theatre in Leicester Square.

Please! If the city is important enough to share the title with sex, then New York is important enough to host the premiere. Next stop for Sex is Berlin on May 15, then New York, at last, on May 27.

It's not all that often that a Philadelphian takes New York's side, but yo, fair is fair.

Final split gets closer

Mills, 40, walks away with a $47.5 million divorce settlement and the contempt of the British public. She also retains custody of the couple's 4-year-old daughter, Beatrice.

Sir Paulie? He gets to hang on to the bulk of his fortune, pegged by the court at $880 million.

McCartney, 65, married Mills, whose left leg was amputated below the knee after a 1993 motorcycle accident, in an Irish castle in 2002. They separated four years later.

Order of succession

O'Brien, for his part, will head to L.A. next year and there ascend the throne now occupied by Jay Leno as host of the Tonight show.

The succession of Fallon, 33, has been bruited about ever since 2003, when a Peacock suit first mentioned the possibility of having the former Saturday Night Live cast member host a talk show.

"I've been doing a monologue in my living room the last three years and it was embarrassing," Fallon joked at a news conference.

However, he said, "my wife seemed to like it."

The Fallon transition is being managed by Lorne Michaels, who pulled O'Brien out of a hat to take David Letterman's place as host of Late Night when Letterman decamped for CBS.

Rapper busted in Sweden

Cops in Stockholm say they found an unidentified substance in Spliff Star's hotel room after he performed in a concert with Busta Rhymes.

Police also visited Mr. Rhymes' room, but found no drugs.

Lewis was released after leaving the police a sample of his urine. Drug possession in Sweden can get the offender a fine or a six-month stay in jail.
