...lured back into politics-reject Abe as a conservative relic. "His popularity has fallen because he's not perceived as being radical enough," says Robert Feldman, chief Japan economist for Morgan Stanley. Feldman argues that Abe has actually been a much more aggressive reformer than he has been given credit for, citing the PM's willingness to challenge the power of Japan's entrenched bureaucracy behind the scenes. "He has created competition within government that is even better than what Koizumi did," Feldman says.

...whom Barbarito removed as St. Vincent's pastor in 2005, spent his take on expensive vacations to Las Vegas and the Bahamas; a $220,000 renovation of his parish residence; and payments to his own "paramour," the bookkeeper of his former parish, whom he gave $47,000 for credit-card bills and her child's tuition.

Justin’s new video for his third single, “What Goes Around...Comes Around (Interlude)” is a big, flashy spectacle, but it adds little to his credit as an actor, which seems to be the clip’s goal.
