| Wrap-up of entertainment quotes from the AP |
 "To assume that one can weigh 300-plus pounds and still be viable on today's opera stage is naive. I tell that to young singers." — A slimmer Deborah Voigt, who returned to the Royal Opera House stage in London four years after she was fired for being too heavy to fit into her costume for Richard Strauss' "Ariadne auf Naxos."___ "May equality live long and prosper." — George Takei, who obtained one of California's new gender-neutral marriage licenses. Takei, who played Sulu on the original "Star Trek" TV series, and partner Brad Altman are planning a September wedding. ___ "Anne was the first person to come in and do a screen test. It was actually the first time I'd said any of the lines. And after she walked out of the room, we all looked at each other and knew it. It was almost as if everyone else could have gone home at that point, frankly." — Steve Carell, on his "Get Smart" co-star Anne Hathaway. ___ "Tommy Lee and myself were two people who didn't have that much knowledge of being eco-friendly at first." — Ludacris, who co-stars with Lee in Planet Green's upcoming "Battleground Earth," a series of competitions between the rapper and the rocker to determine who is the greenest. ___ "I wasn't there at the time. ... I didn't know they (were) gonna strip her down and wrap her with a blanket." — Billy Ray Cyrus, in an interview on NBC's "Today" show, on a photograph by Annie Leibovitz of his 15-year-old daughter Miley wrapped in a sheet with her back exposed. The photo appeared in Vanity Fair magazine. ___ "When I saw him lying in the dirt, it was like seeing your child dead on the floor. I went into shock." — Caroll Spinney of "Sesame Street," recalling a visit to Georgia Tech in 1972, when his Big Bird costume was damaged by ROTC students. ___ "I think I'd be willing to do almost anything — I'd be willing to pursue any great role — but then again, I do want to put food on the table." — Andre Braugher, perhaps best known for his role on the acclaimed '90s TV show "Homicide: Life on the Street." ___ "I'm not here to talk about `August: Osage County,' although I do have a warm spot for dysfunctional pill poppers." — John Waters, referring to Tracy Letts' Tony-winning play about a bitter, backbiting family.
