Florida high school rescinds invite to Jerry Springer

SARASOTA, Fla. Sarasota High School cheerleaders will have to find another valentine to headline their dance Saturday, after administrators gave their choice of Jerry Springer an 'F'.

The talk-show host -- who lives in Sarasota -- had accepted an invitation from the school's cheerleaders to headline the "Hollywood Nights" dance. But administrators withdrew the invitation yesterday. They say Springer, whose T-V guests include unfaithful lovers and brawling friends, is not an appropriate role model for students.

The cheerleaders, who sponsor the dance, say they just wanted a local celebrity. The cheerleaders are looking for another host.
