...Allen sings on Not Big and wiggles her little finger for anyone in the Bush Hall crowd that didn't get the subtlety of the title. In real life she can be just as harsh.

...skin care specialist explains that the hollow candle will create a gentle vacuum to draw out excess ear wax, impurities, maybe some loose change. I'm somewhat dubious-with a 20-cm candle sticking out the side of my head, I feel less like David Beckham than a human birthday cake-but this technique was used by the ancient Egyptians, and a civilization that knew how to extract the brain via the nose probably had no trouble removing waxy buildup.

(For those of you who don't frequent art houses, we speak of Joel and Ethan Coen, Alexander Payne, Wes Craven, Alfonso Cuaron, Gurinder Chadha, Olivier Assayas, Walter Salles, Sylvain Chomet and Tom Tykwer.) Wouldn't it to lovely to bathe briefly in the radiance of Fanny Ardant, Juliette Binoche, Steve Buscemi, Sergio Castellito, Willem Dafoe, Ben Gazzara, Maggie Gyllenhaal...
...RESIGNED. FLORENTINO P?REZ, 58, after almost six years as president of Real Madrid, the world's wealthiest soccer club; in Madrid. Although the Spanish team spent more than $300 million signing superstar players like David Beckham, Zin?dine Zidane and Ronaldo, it has failed to win any major championships in nearly three years and has suffered a string of defeats in recent months. "I cannot ever regret having enjoyed the soccer of the world's best players," P?rez said upon announcing his resignation...
