...measure a rock group's popularity by the diversity of rumors it has spawned, then the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are the biggest band in the world. According to various reputable music magazines, singer Karen O hates German people; drummer Brian Chase rigged an MTV contest to win a Bon Jovi concert in his backyard; and the band's new record, Show Your Bones, is a concept album about O's cat. To set things straight, O, whose seldom-used last name is Orzolek, digs Germans; Chase has never won anything; and Coco Beware, while a real...
...Yeah Yeah Yeahs have spent the past two years arguing over not just how to reach more people but also who their collective self really is.

The robbers (led by Dougray Scott and The Practice's Steve Harris) gab about strippers and Mother Teresa while on a job; the cops who chase them self-consciously reference Lethal Weapon. Created by brothers Mark and Robb Cullen and co-executive-produced by Doug Liman, who directed Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Heist takes a lighthearted tone familiar from the movies--assuring viewers that they're in safe territory...
...Marines broke down the two doors simultaneously and fired their weapons. The officials say the military has confirmed that seven people were killed inside the house--including two women and a child. The Marines also reported seeing a man and a woman run out of the house; they gave chase and shot and killed the man. Relatives say the woman, Hiba Abdullah, escaped with her baby...
