Katy Perry may have turned up to EMI's post-Grammys party in a revealing silver dress, but even the "I Kissed a Girl" singer (who is signed to Capitol Records, a subsidiary of EMI) could not monopolize all the attention. Despite the lavish affair at the W Hotel in Hollywood, EMI is in desperate financial trouble. So deep, in fact, that some were wondering how it could afford to host a party...

As newspapers and opposition politicians in South Africa were quick to point out, there is nothing responsible about having unprotected sex or an extramarital affair in a country with the world's biggest HIV/AIDS population, currently numbering more than 4 million. Zuma's behavior has "set us back at least a decade in the fight against HIV/AIDS," said a stern-faced Helen Zille, leader of the opposition Democratic Alliance Party. In an editorial, the Business Day newspaper worried that Zuma's casual attitude to marriage...
