...talk about the comedy scene as a "boys' club." Do they really treat you that differently? Absolutely. It is appalling to this day the stuff that I encounter. I remember I had a meeting with Ben Silverman at NBC two years ago about my role in the company and the future of the show, and he said, "Kathy, we're gonna find a role for you that fits you as tight as those jeans." Now, you know that no one says that to Matthew Perry...
...driving the price of gold? Adam says demand. And that's a good thing. As the credit crisis and global recession eases, more and more consumers, and industrial users like electronics manufacturers, are buying gold again. According to World Gold Council, demand for gold, while down from a year ago, rose 19% in the second quarter vs. the first three months of the year.

In fact, reports from some nongovernmental organizations operating in the North say that a public propaganda campaign promoting Jong...
This summer, Turkey celebrated a dubious anniversary: it was 50 years ago that the country first asked to join the European Union - or, as it was then known, the European Economic Community. Half a century on, Turkey is still waiting to be let in. In that time, other countries have joined, expanding the once six-member European club to 27. But even the most optimistic scenario says Turkey is unlikely to be part of the E.U. for at least another decade...
