...helping others lose weight. In her new book, Master Your Metabolism, she writes that the key to weight loss is balancing your hormones. As season seven of the show comes to an end this week, Michaels talks to TIME about why she recently called The Biggest Loser contestants "half dead," how much exercise the average person really needs and what changes you can make in your life to lose ten, twenty or hundreds of pounds. (See pictures of what makes you eat more food...
...recently said that by the time The Biggest Loser contestants come to you they're half dead. What did you mean by that? Yes, I said "half-dead" And everybody was like, "oh, I can't believe she said that." Are people just not tuning into the show? We've got 30-year-olds whose internal organs are 60. If we were having this conversation about somebody who was a drug addict or somebody who had anorexia or bulimia, we would openly admit that it was suicide...
...only to his most persistent fans. There was a high-tech hipness to Time Out of Mind--the damp, echoey sound provided by producer Daniel Lanois--that doesn't exist on the new album.

After Jarman succumbed to AIDS in 1994, she mourned not only the his passing but his elliptical, confrontational style. "That kind of art is dead," she said. "What you can do now is subvert with art that disguises itself as commerce." That may sound like an admission of defeat...
...woman, then a bit of both - the two sexes evolved into one. Swinton had played men before: she was Mozart in a production of Pushkin's Mozart and Salieri, and in the play and film Man to Man she was a woman in Nazi Germany who assumes her dead husband's identity. Once, at an airport security checkpoint, she was herded into the men's line. With her short hair and lanky frame she can seem either gender, or the best of both - a super-androgyne with a sex appeal as complex as it is irresistible...
