New York -- Artist and musician Yoko Ono took to Twitter Wednesday to mark the 30th anniversary of her husband John Lennon's slaying in New York.
The peace activist, rock 'n' roll icon and former member of the Beatles was 40 when he was gunned down outside his Manhattan apartment building by a deranged fan who remains in prison.
"Today, on this painful anniversary, please join me in remembering John with deep love and respect," The Hollywood Reporter said Ono tweeted Wednesday. "Despite his short, 40 years of life, he gave so much to the world. The world was blessed with fortune to have known John. ... We continue to learn so much from him even today. John, I love you. 2010/12/8 Yoko Ono Lennon."

Wasilla, Alaska -- The New Oxford American Dictionary has picked "refudiate," a word former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin used on her Twitter feed, as word of the year.
Oxford University Press said the word coined by the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee is the U.S. dictionary's word of the year, with the definition reading, "verb used loosely to mean 'reject.'"
Oxford said there is evidence of the word being used prior to Palin's Twitter postings, but it was her use that brought the word widespread attention.

San Diego -- Carnival Cruise Lines said Thursday although Spam was among the food items delivered to the stranded Splendor, the canned meat was not served to guests.
"Despite media reports to the contrary, Carnival Splendor guests were never served Spam!" Carnival said on Twitter.
The U.S. Navy Tuesday delivered food items to Splendor that Carnival ordered in the wake of the ship's four-day shutdown after an engine fire. Photos of Navy helicopters dropping crates of Spam sparked the term "Spam-cation."
"We gave our food order to a supplier, not the Navy. The Navy kindly delivered the goods, (and) Spam was not on the list," Carnival spokesman Vance Gulliksen told USA Today.
