CRIB NOTES

Fujimoto unspools toilet-paper cozies

Not much thought is given to toilet paper — unless you’re out of it. But Gary Fujimoto of P55dle has made it his muse, resulting in whimsical toilet paper cozies that deserve to be left in plain sight. At $10 each, they’re part of a collection that includes wine bags, totes, baby quilts and oven mitts. Design themes were inspired by classics such as "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz." The "Home Sweet Home Collection" uses illustrations showing how to click your heels together to find your way home. Fujimoto designs and silk-screens the fabric and hand sews each piece. P55dle is based at fishcake, a furnishings and accessories boutique at 307C Kamani St. Call 593-1231.

DUI roadblock stop leads to singer’s arrest

LOS ANGELES » Grammy-winning singer Faith Evans has been arrested after being stopped at a drunken-driving checkpoint in the Los Angeles area.

The 37-year-old Evans was arrested Saturday near Marina del Rey on suspicion of misdemeanor drunken driving and released on bail yesterday morning, a police spokesman said. Her car was impounded.

The R&B singer is the widow of rapper Christopher Wallace, also known as the Notorious B.I.G. She won a Grammy in 1998 for the song "I’ll Be Missing You."

A reality series chronicling Evans’ life is reportedly in production, and a new album is scheduled for release in October.

A message left with Evans’ agent yesterday was not immediately returned.
