Jamie White is headed back to Denver for the KISSmas Snowball Dec. 17 at the 
Pepsi Center, with P. Diddy, Avril Lavigne and DJ Sammy, so watch out.

She's the mouthy morning deejay on 95.7 KISS FM - broadcasting 6- 10 a.m. 
with Danny Bonaduce from Los Angeles.

I ran into White in Las Vegas last weekend, and she says she still remembers 
her Alice radio Denver days fondly, even though now she's divorced from the 
Castle Pines doctor she talked about incessantly. I knew more about her sex 
life than my own.

She says she's a calmer date these days. Maybe. Last time we talked, she 
described how she broke into the house of a Beverly Hills orthodontist who 
dumped her and fed his goldfish to the garbage disposal.

In Vegas, she pointed to big shot Vegas casino owner George Maloof and said 
that they had had two 'really bad' dates.

As if remembering, Maloof nodded and gave a polite smile.

Woof woof

Denver loves to get celebs, national and local, to paint things for charity. 
Masks, chairs, plates, piggy banks - you name it. So here comes the parade of 
pet bowls.

Two charities are busy asking bold names to paint a bowls to save pets: The 
Animal Rescue and Adoption Society, a no-kill cat shelter, and the nonprofit 
Harrison Memorial Animal Hospital.

Animal Rescue will party Dec. 8 (it's called Project Pet Bowl, not Project 
Sneeze-a-thon) at the Colorado History Museum with bowls on sale from the 
likes of Tony Curtis, Marin Alsop, pianist Jim Brickman, Kevin Fitzgerald of 
'Emergency Vets' and some Channel 9 TV types.

Meanwhile, Harrison moves ahead with its plans for the swank Mutts & Models 
fashion show Jan. 17 at Mile High Station. It's gathering an edgier breed of 
painted pet bowls from Gwen Stefani of No Doubt, Shirley Manson from Garbage, 
Dita Von Teese, on the cover of this month's Playboy and in town Nov. 29-30 
with 'Burlesque XXX(- mas),' Beck and a kennel of locals.

How you doing?

Last year, the December issue of 5280 magazine featured '22 People to Watch 
in 2002.' So we watched.

Avalanche forward Vaclav Nedorost, who graced the cover, was sent the minors 
the very day the issue hit the stands. Not a good omen. Maybe all 22 would go 
down in some strange magazine curse!

But now he's back with the team, all of 20 years old, and he even scored a 
goal!

Rock promoter Jesse Morreale survived, even thrived, in a tough year for 
music - and he got married to Leigh Sullivan.

Aaron Kennedy saw his Noodles & Co. expand from 37 to 50 outlets and doubled 
his revenue.

Cydney Payton, director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, saw admissions 
rise 20 percent and membership grow by 70 percent.

Campaign manager Dick Wadhams had a very good year - with his man Wayne 
Allard holding on to the Senate seat.

Lobbyist Jenifer Brandeberry took some time off, added a few new clients and 
saw her son become a young hockey star. 'Life is good,' she says.

City spirit

Some people predicted it would be the first LoDo Blake Street baseball bar to 
close, but the small and neighborly Splinters from the Pine lasted seven 
seasons. It closes down at the end of the month, and the Sports Column from 
next door will take the space. Have pancakes with St. Nick and 150 decorated 
trees at the Festival of Trees Breakfast with Santa party, 9-11 Saturday 
morning at the Adams Mark Hotel, kids welcome for $9, adults $15. The 
Festival of Trees Gala is Saturday night, call 303-433-2882. Watch for Latin- 
pop firecracker Shakira at the Pepsi Center early next year, tix on sale in a 
week or two. Every Thursday through Christmas is 'Bubble Night' at Mel's - 
all the top-shelf champagne you can swill, 6-9 p.m. with appetizers, $25. Sez 
who: 'Sanity is a cozy lie.' - Susan Sontag
