...Berlusconi, a media mogul who boasts about his Casanova talents, is publicly pushing for Benedict to change the Communion rules for remarried Catholics. A story in the Italian daily he owns, Il Giornale, recounted how the 71-year-old Prime Minister last Saturday passed up Communion, but asked the local bishop at the chapel near his villa on the island of Sardinia to reconsider the standing rules. Bishop Sebastiano Sanguinetti reportedly responded: "Go tell that to someone higher than me." There was no indication that Berlusconi had raised the matter when he met the pontiff earlier this month...
...from excellent, Clarkson does an amazing job as the pill-popping, powder-consuming wife who is oblivious to her husband’s sudden change in character.

Hirst says he contemporized dialogue but not much else, and he estimates that about 85% of the show is historically accurate. By adding dimension to the standard caricatures of Henry...
...much at their immature behavior, but because I am pretty sure that at least two of those boys are still virgins themselves. And the way one of the virgin hecklers was sloppily scarfing his meal—well, it was clear that he’s no Casanova. But apparently, even at a place like Harvard, where most students get less ass than the dingy toilets in the fourth floor of Sever Hall, virginity is still something one must mock...
