...former Real Madrid "galactico" will put his creative midfield skills to work creating and scoring goals for the Galaxy. But that's only part of the job: In reality, he will become the face of Major League Soccer, the AAA baseball of global soccer. Becks will bring his chiseled chin, blond locks, and all-round star power on the field and off it - and, of course, his pop star wife Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham - to the United States. With a reality TV show in the works, a global soccer tour, a promotion with American football star Reggie Bush...
Libeskind's $135 million addition to the ROM, called the Michael Lee-Chin Crystal after its lead donor, is resolutely unlike anything Toronto - or most cities - has seen before. To begin with, it doesn't look much like the original building, which is actually two buildings: a yellow brick structure from 1912 that was overtaken in 1932 by a weighty limestone addition in a Beaux Arts style with trace elements of the Gothic and Baroque. Libeskind's Crystal bursts from the old museum's limestone in pointed shards of anodized aluminum. It touches the ground with the jagged footprint...
Thorsell admits that when they saw what the interface was going to look like, some regular ROM donors thought "that box" was a little too crazy. "They just couldn't understand us doing this," he says. But others, like Michael Lee-Chin, the billionaire chairman of Portland Holdings, who gave $30 million to put his name on the addition, came through precisely because there was something new on the horizon.

...eliminated other candidates because their photos were too embarrassing to keep on my top 16. People were sending me comments making fun of my "hot friends." McCain and Clinton looked as if they were posing for yearbook photos. (You're 59, Hillary. Take your hand out from under your chin.) Tommy Thompson's main photo has him standing with a bunch of black kids and giving them a double thumbs-up, as if to tell us that despite whatever you may have heard, Thompson totally approves of black children. His site, however, does have a cool function where people Twitter...
...Jones, a very appealing performer in concerts and interviews, is herself half-Asian (her father is the celebrated Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar), and thus fits snugly into the Wong Kar Wai iconography. We see her, chin on hand, staring sadly into the middle distance; and Wong shows this not-very-much-happening in his patented dreamy slo-mo. Jones also has a similar background to many performers from Wong's Hong Kong films: Leung, Leslie Cheung, Faye Wong, Andy Lau, Leon Lai and dozens of others were Canto-pop stars before they were accomplished actors...
