Tucker, the falsetto funnyman whose career was launched with sharp supporting roles in Money Talks and Friday, had made no non-Rush Hour films, none, in a decade.

Gaddafi says Libya has mediated several conflict and crisis situations in Africa, including Darfur and Niger. That role, he says, has made the nation "the main diplomatic actor in North Africa." Gaddafi also confides Libyan diplomats have advised Blair on his Middle East mission, and have sought to facilitate his contacts with Hamas...
