Advertiser Staff and News Services

You know you're famous when you have your own bobble-head doll, as University of Hawai'i volleyball players Lily Kahumoku and Kim Willoughby now do. They went on sale last week. And a bobble-head doll of UH quarterback Tim Chang will arrive this week, says Ward Centre RainbowTique assistant manager Tricia Ejima.

The dolls cost $19.99 and are sold at the Ward Centre and Stan Sheriff RainbowTique stores and UH bookstore.

Leno's return guest

Arnold Schwarzenegger will take time out from trying to fix California's budget crisis and recovery from devastating wildfires to visit "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on Nov. 26.

Gov.-elect Schwarzenegger began his political career on the show in August when he told host Jay Leno and the NBC audience that he would run in California's recall election. Voters ousted Gov. Gray Davis in the Oct. 7 election and replaced him with the star of "Terminator" and "Jingle All the Way."
