Yet Tom Freston's leg-stretch after last month's Sundance Film Festival screening of Hustle & Flow was hot dish to an avid press corps. You would have thought he was Brad and Jen, together again...
...really crave is German-language programming, right? ProSiebenSat.1 Media, the German TV network controlled by U.S. media mogul Haim Saban, launches its first channel in the U.S. this week.

And, as Brown proved against Cornell, even if Forte can manage those gaudy numbers, the squad still might not be able to pull off the victory...
Some of the imaginative food you'll get to experience? How about double-baked beetroot and rocket soufflé, springbok loin in balsamic broth with curried gnocchi, orange-glazed ostrich filet with sweet-corn and basil pancakes or bobotie (a curried meat and custard dish)? Or maybe you're hankering for karroo lamb and rose-petal ice cream...
