NATIONAL GIGGLE OFF A BIG HOOT TO CONTESTANTS

NATIONAL GIGGLE OFF A BIG HOOT TO CONTESTANTS

CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) -- Talk about laughing your way to the bank: 10 giggling Americans will soon be putting their tee-hees to the test at a national laugh-off. The 2nd Annual Pillsbury Doughboy Giggle-Off will be taking place in Los Angeles October 5 and the champion chortler will win $50,000. Not every finalist thinks the Giggle-Off is a laughing matter, though. Four-year-old Rebecca Cravatta of Elmwood, Illinois, isn't looking forward to the contest because she says she gets stage fright. Still, her mother, Sue, says if the laughs don't come easy, a little tickling goes a long way. If Rebecca does win the $50,000 prize, she says she wants to spend it on jewelry -- but Mama has a different idea: putting the money away for college.
