Shawn Paulsen was a cop who just couldn't stop joking around.

Between the wisecracks and messing with people, he knew he needed a different career.

"Basically, I never fit the profile of a cop because I don't like coffee or doughnuts and I kind of made jokes at everything. I wasn't really serious," said Paulsen, of Roy, in an interview in advance of four shows next weekend at Ogden's Wiseguys Comedy Club. "I guess I have always been the joker or the class clown."

Ogden's most rabid music fan has brought his memoirs to the art gallery.

A portion of Mike Correll's collection of more than 500 concert posters, representing 40 years of his rock memories, are on display in a downtown Ogden gallery.

The posters are concrete reminders of his concert-going experiences -- like when he took a three-day trip to see Phish in Coventry, Vt., in 2004.

The highways were closed down by a torrential rainstorm that made travel treacherous, almost impossible.

LeAnn and Vance Jackson have been a living a secret life -- which was revealed in front of a national audience on Tuesday.

The mother and son from Ogden were announced as a secret team on NBC's "The Biggest Loser: Couples."

"My child would never be a bully."

It's a response heard all too often by school counselors when they approach the parents of a bully.

"Usually, the bully's parents will defend their child and blame the victim," even when confronted with documentation of the incidents, said Susan Miller, counselor at Boulton Elementary School in Bountiful.

"If it's a true bully, it's repeated over time," she said. "It has to be over time, and there has to be an imbalance of power for it to be bullying. Otherwise, it is just a fight."

The evolution of Marcus has continued.

The Utah comic has all but dropped his impressions that included spot-on renditions of Gilbert Gottfried, Captain Jack Sparrow and Christopher Walken.

"Impressions to me are kind of like a magic trick. It's something that you do and then you go 'ta-da,' " said Marcus, in a phone interview in advance of next weekend's shows in Ogden. "When I was starting out and was doing 7 to 10 minutes a night, impressions were easy. Because there's your punch line. 'What if Christopher Walken was an ice cream man?' Then you say a line and that's it. There's no real challenge to it."

Justin Pope's final act as a team leader was to sacrifice himself.

Pope, from Logan, was eliminated from NBC's "The Biggest Loser: Couples" on Tuesday after his three-member red team finished last in the weigh-in challenge. He asked to be voted off to save teammate Courtney Crozier from elimination.

"When it came to Courtney, I felt like she had to be there. That was her place for what she needed to do," Pope said in a conference call Wednesday. "I hope Courtney got left in good hands and she is doing well."

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Technicolor and John Wayne.
