...MySpace. Harnessing the power of social networking is viewed as a key component of the soon-to-explode local advertising market, which will be worth $10.9 billion globally by 2009, according to analysts Kelsey Group. The individual pages contained on any of these sites or their blogging cousins may appear trivial: minutiae about cats' feeding habits, or the favorite break-up songs of teenage girls.

For all the headlines about an epidemic of oral sex in middle schools, the evidence does not back up the anecdotes...

This fall Gibson will head to Mexico to direct his historical action script Apocalypto in an obscure Maya dialect. Luckily "it doesn't appear like there's going to be a lot of dialogue in the film," says Gibson's publicist. "He's a very visual director."
