...stronghold of Skibo in the 9th century, but it is hard to know what they would make of it today. After fighting off the likes of Madonna (who got married in 2000 in the castle that was built on the original Viking site) and Robbie Williams (who celebrated his birthday there in March of this year), the intrepid Norsemen would probably not recognize their 1,000-year-old home. Where once there were serfs, there are now staff, and a golf course stands on former grazing land. Such is the world of 21st century castles. From Scotland to southern England...
British food writer Nigella Lawson's Feast is written in her signature evocative style and focuses on families. "Whenever an occasion matters to us, we mark this with food, from a birthday cake to a wedding breakfast," she writes in the introduction. "But Feast is not just about big-deal special occasions: it's about the way we use food to celebrate life."

But fame alone doesn't really pay the bills. No other CEO has combined celebrity and smart branding quite like Sean (P. Diddy) Combs, 35, head of the sprawling Bad Boy Worldwide Entertainment Group. Combs' $300 million urban empire includes a hip-hop record label, two restaurants, a music-publishing arm and a marketing company, Blue Flame, which teaches FORTUNE 500 clients like Pepsi and Microsoft...
...Narang, who sat in deserted Winthrop Dining Hall on a Friday morning. He had spent the previous night at the Quad Formal. “I’m a little bit hungover right now,” says Narang, who recently turned 21. For his birthday, he got last season’s DVD of “The O.C.” and has since been indulging in viewing binges. He also unwinds by playing darts and whiffleball in his suite. And he still manages to sleep eight to ten hours nightly...
