DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME

Pacific Gas and Electric Co. says the upcoming basketball comedy Like Mike (opening tomorrow) could be harmful to children because a scene shows Lil Bow Wow retrieving a pair of shoes from a power line. "These are high-voltage power lines... and a little kid doesn't stand a chance," says a rep for the utility company. A 20th Century Fox spokesperson responds: "Like Mike is a fantasy about magic shoes. The scene is clearly not meant to be real or present behavior to be emulated by youngsters."
