...Chinese voice-over for the movie Mulan (Celine Dion's big break, remember, was voicing Beauty and the Beast). Later one of her songs was chosen for the soundtrack to The Runaway Bride, the Julia Roberts-Richard Gere romance flick. CoCo's current goal is nothing less than to demolish the pop-music divide between East and West, and a big step was surely keeping her underwear unexposed at the Oscars in front of a billion television viewers. The Crouching Tiger theme song may not have had the world rocking off its axis, but there's no better exposure imaginable...
...While they wrestled the crippled plane, the crew had a familiar drill to follow: the "classified destruction plan," which assigns each crew member a sensitive part of the plane to demolish.

Putin speaks of direct rule over the republic and threatens to "destroy" anyone who takes up arms against Russian rule...
...some point, it may have dawned on the Kings that Justice was mounting a serious investigation that would demolish their conspiracy theory. But late last year a wrongful-death suit that Pepper had filed on their behalf against Jowers came to trial in Memphis, providing a chance for a verdict that would shore up at least part of Pepper's tall tale. The proceeding was a fiasco. Jowers--who has changed his story so many times it ought to come with a version number like computer software--never took the stand in his own defense. Ballistics testimony was provided...
