Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, long known for its high-calorie treats, says it plans to offer a low-sugar doughnut to attract dieters and diabetics.

Exactly how low the sugar content would be was unclear Thursday.

Krispy Kreme spokeswoman Amy Hughes said she didn't know because the new doughnut is still in the early stages of development. It is set to debut before the end of 2004.

But just one of Krispy Kreme's Hot Original Glazed doughnuts has 10 grams of sugar and 200 calories. More than half those calories come from fat -- 12 grams of it.

Mmmmm. Tasty! Low Sugar Donuts

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) -- Old pay phones are selling like they're going out of style.

Collectors have made an online rush to buy BellSouth's boxy old pay phones that have been refurbished for home use, after the Atlanta-based company decided to pull out of a coin-operated phone business that had withered in the wireless age.

"It's a novelty. You just don't usually see pay phones in people's homes," said Hugh Bowen, a retired Atlanta police officer who bought one of the 30-pound phones. "I thought it was so neat and I always wanted one. When I saw this opportunity I jumped on it."

About 500 orders for the $135 phones were filled in the two months they've been for sale, and now there's a waiting list of about 300 more people.

Phreakin k3wl!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Whitehouse.com Web site, one of the best examples that the Internet isn't always what it seems, is getting out of the pornography business.
Its owner says he's worried what his preschool-age son might think.

Parisi's decision to sell the Whitehouse.com name and more than 100 derivations comes amid signs pointing to a rebound in the market for reselling Web addresses. A Florida man sold men.com in December for $1.3 million.
