...Swamiji (swami for spiritual teacher; ji, a title of respect), he is well aware that he is his own best advertisement: he glows as disciples introduce him as a man who has had the same weight and waist size for 60 years and who can still swing a mean bat on his cricket team. He loves to mention his similarly consistent record in marriage: "One wife, 52 years," he boasts...

...fans. While the video’s style takes pains to portray the rough underbelly of rap that no longer exists for some of its biggest stars, T.I. seems uncomfortable in a role he once played perfectly.

...individuals stuck in the checkout line [Aug. 27]. But I disagree with Joel Stein's claim that it's "a sign of progress for a society to go from inventing gods and monsters to seeking catharsis in the real life of Paris Hilton." That's as laughable as Bat Boy running for President. The Weekly World News lost readers because people turned to the Internet.
