...Critics Circle dinner, I got to chat with Clooney and Bigelow and found them both warm, smart and gorgeous. But as I retreat to my rabbit hole and watch the parade of expensive, pampered flesh on the expertly produced Golden Globe show, I can thank the HPFA for aligning certain constellations - as when Sophia Loren, still statuesque and preternaturally well-preserved at 75, presented the Foreign Film award to Austria's Michael Haneke, the current dean of daunting drama, for The White Ribbon.

Andreas Heilmann, a social scientist at Berlin's Humboldt University, believes that a politician who discloses his sexual orientation is insulated from criticism. "They embody a certain authenticity and credibility because they're open," he says.

Along with Schwarzenegger, who had previously been a reliable Republican proponent of Democratic health care reform, many other governors - including New York's David Paterson, a Democrat - have publicly protested the legislation on the basis of the Medicaid expansion, saying it amounts to an unfunded mandate. In addition, at least 13 state attorneys general have said Nelson's special deal is unconstitutional. But extending the Cornhusker Kickback to all 50 states would be a lot more than...
