...pitch for this movie must've sold Ferrell on the project in about 10 seconds. Indeed, it's hard not to smile when you hear it. Get ready: two top figure skaters - blond, winsome Jimmy MacElroy (Jon Heder) and bad-boy Chazz Michael Michaels (Ferrell) - get into a brawl on the winners' stand and are forever banished from the male singles category. Three and a half years later, Chazz is drunk and disgraced impersonating a wizard in some Podunk lounge act on ice, and Jimmy is peddling sports equipment at a Ski 'n Shred. But they love skating more than...

...Jimmy might be a kind of blond Boitano, while Chazz is from the butch, Elvis Stojko school. But the enmity is surely a gender-bending version of the 1994 feud between Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. In the movie, skating's criminal underside is personified by Stranz and Fairchild Van Waldenberg, a borderline-incestuous brother-sister pair whose long-skate routine has the theme "Forbidden Love," with Stranz skating as JFK and Fairchild as Marilyn Monroe. Arnett and Poehler's turn doesn't quite match Baron Cohen's as the French driver in Talladega, but Arnett gets points for smarming...

...Highway 46, but New Braunfels High School, a public school that began offering a Bible-literacy class last fall. The class has its share of conservative Christians. Front-row center sat Rachel Williams, 18, whose mother does teach Sunday school at Oakwood. But not 20 ft. away sat a blond atheist who asked that her name not be used because she hasn't outed herself to her parents. Why take a Bible class? I asked her. "Some of my friends are Christian," she said, shrugging, "and they would argue about, like, whether you can be a Christian and believe...

...were warned when we got to Khost that there may be suicide bombers in town, so we took precautions. I wrapped a scarf tightly around my head to hide my blond hair, and thought about buying a pair of brown contact lenses next time I return to the U.S. Balazs Gardi, TIME's photographer, traded his polar fleece and khakis for a shalwar kameez, the loose tunic and baggy trousers worn by Afghan men. Suicide bombers here often seek targets of opportunity, so we didn't want to draw any attention to ourselves...

...TIME wrote that she possessed a curious "bellicose zeal and tomboyish winsomeness." Offscreen, blond bombshell Betty Hutton struggled with an addiction to pills and four failed marriages. Onscreen she lent a brash, explosive energy to such films of the '40s and '50s as Annie Get Your Gun and The Miracle of Morgan's Creek. After walking away from Paramount--and her film career--in a 1952 dispute, Hutton acknowledged she could be, well, temperamental. "When I'm working with jerks with no talent, I raise hell until I get what I want," she said...
