...share of global CO2 emissions, now around 2%, is expected to hit 3% by 2050. Problem is, flying is often the only way to go. Four-fifths of airline-related emissions come from journeys over 1,500 km, for which there's no real alternative (Moscow to Beijing by bus, anyone?). But if flying simply can't be avoided, its environmental impact needn't be a write-off. Consider seating arrangements. "The more people on a plane, the better," says Gehan Talwatte, managing director of London-based aviation consultancy Ascend. Legroom may be compromised during budget or charter flights...

When she goes food shopping, her fans don't praise her; they ask her which aisle items are in. While some new shows have to pay audiences or bus them in from nursing homes, Ray had a waiting list of 19,000 for her 110 seats before taping started...
...Little Miss Sunshine, come to think of it. Yes, the youngest member of a perfectly dim and dysafunctional American family is determined to compete in one of those horrific sub-teen beauty pageants.
