...answer is me, I guess. There will also be a lot is variety - 60% or 70% celebrity guests and original sketches. We have an opening sketch that we call the "Megalogue" and a super interactive web site which is part of my secret agenda to get away from the crush of the "celebrity culture...

Still, on her previous record she and her boyfriend got together and whipped up Crazy in Love, a colossal hit that rivals the Ronettes' Be My Baby in its ability to turn an innocent crush into something worthy of a wall of sound.

That didn't matter...

...together, but their mutual hostility is undiminished, undermining the government--and al-Maliki can only look on helplessly. A political lightweight and compromise candidate, the Prime Minister doesn't have the clout to bash heads, much less deliver on his promises to pursue insurgents with "no mercy" and crush the militias "with an iron fist." As the politicians continue to bicker, the big tent is looking shaky; there were calls last week for several ministers--including the Interior chief--to be replaced...
