...heart. The song feels a bit too autobiographical, as even the protection bit seems plausible—honestly, would you have unprotected sex with a girl named Peaches? With their star on the rise, these guys should not feel the need to beat themselves up or brood over past losses. In the end, they’re too hip for their own good and their sound is much sleeker and smoother than their image intimates. So hopefully next time they’ll be able to think of something fresher than just getting walloped for four minutes...
...order to avoid multiple births through IVF that would expose both mother and offspring to significant health risks. This is merely one of several ethical, financial, psychological and medical issues that have arisen from the stunning news of the Suleman octuplets, who join the single mom's existing brood of six children living with her parents in Whittier, about 18 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

Deneuve is the curiously calm matriarch and least neurotic member of this brood. She needs a bone-marrow transplant if she is to survive the sudden onset of leukemia, which is something of a family curse. The best donor possibility is, naturally, one of her kin. The trouble is that they are apparently more interested in their own petty feuds than they are in rescuing her. That's especially true of Elizabeth (Anne Consigny), a glum playwright who, several years...
