Marvel editor would welcome biracial Spider-Man

"AMAZING Spider-Man 2" star Andrew Garfield recently stirred some controversy when he said he brought up the possibility that Miles Morales - the half-black/half-Latino teen who replaced Peter Parker as Spidey in Marvel's Ultimate comic-book line - could replace him as the movie Spider-Man once Garfield spins his last web.

While many dismissed the idea, Marvel editor-in-chief Axel Alonso is not among them.

"Yeah, I could easily see it happening," Alonso told Tattle Comics Guy Jerome Maida. "I'm excited by the prospect of seeing the world's most recognizable superhero peel back the mask and show a new face and how inclusive that would be and what a statement that would make - and I don't think I'm alone!"

"So, yeah, I can see it happening," Alonso continued. "I would welcome the day that it did happen."

He has a claws in his contract.

While media outlets were quick to blame his mother-in-law for dialing 9-1-1, it was actually Paul Simon who made the call that led to the arrests last week of him and his wife, Edie Brickell.

The police report indicates that Brickell, 48, and Simon, 72, became physical with one another Saturday - and not in a good way.

Brickell told officers she confronted her husband after he did something to "break her heart," but she did not provide police any details. She told police he shoved her during the argument, and she slapped him.

The report indicates that Simon called 9-1-1 and hung up, but once you call you're getting visitors.

Simon suffered a superficial cut to his ear, and Brickell, who smelled of alcohol, had a bruise on her wrist, according to the police report, first obtained by the Hour of Norwalk, Conn.

Brickell told police the two had other physical confrontations and asked an officer to feel a lump on her head. But she would not let police photograph her injuries and declined to elaborate on the other confrontations.

And somewhere, Art Garfunkel shrugged.

* Not wanting to be too definitive and give heroin a bad rap, British authorities said yesterday that heroin likely played a role in the death of British model and TV personality Peaches Geldof.

Detective chief inspector Paul Fotheringham told an inquest into the death of the second daughter of Live Aid organizer Bob Geldof that a postmortem examination was inconclusive, prompting further tests. Fotheringham said the results on the 25-year-old did confirm the presence of the drug.

"There was recent use of heroin and the levels identified were likely to have played a role in her death," he said.

Peaches' mother, Paula Yates, died of a drug overdose in 2000 when Peaches was 11. In her final message on Twitter, Peaches posted a photograph of herself as a toddler next to her mother.
