...extends his news satire program The Daily Show to CNN International. Early word has Gallagher pegged for Kabul bureau chief Losers WINNIE MADIKIZELA-MANDELA Nelson's ex-wife in court for fraud. All this is just Winnie's way to make sure that Halle Berry plays her in the biopic, not Angela Bassett JERRY SPRINGERRA Trash host's show named worst program ever by TV Guide-validation that Springer has succeeded beyond his loftiest ambitions JOHN HENRY WILLIAMS Ted Williams' son criticized for having his dad cryogenically frozen.

Internet gossip columnist Matt Drudge pounded the film’s subject, John Nash, for his supposed “anti-Semitism,” and ever since the film’s release it has been attacked for ignoring Nash’s apparent bisexuality and his illegitimate child with Jeannette Walls.
