...with his regiment. "There's no way I'm going to put myself through [Britain's military academy] Sandhurst and then sit on my arse back home while my boys are out fighting," Harry said in a 2005 interview. Should he serve, concerns for the royal's safety will dog Harry as they did his uncle Prince Andrew, who served in the Falklands 25 years ago, in what he told TIME was an "adventure" and "nerve-racking."

...nine-and-a-half-minute video tells the ho-hum story of a lounge singer (Timberlake) who meets a sexy mama (guest star Scarlett Johansson, still in blonde bombshell mode). They go at it until she cheats on him with his BFF, played by JT’s Alpha Dog costar Shawn Hatosy. Contrary to the song, the dialogue in the video will make your ears bleed.

And then, with a rapidity and ferocity that shocked the onlookers, the dog pounced, caught the squirrel by its bushy tail...
...dear old friend. A month later, she committed suicide after a particularly humiliating experience. The Red Guards placed a pole across the gate of the conservatory less than four feet from the ground and made Li Zhen crawl under it to demonstrate that she was ''a running dog of the British imperialists'' because of her education in England. They then held a ''struggle'' meeting to compel her to confess her ''love for Western music.'' She was found dead the next day, seated by her piano, with the gas turned on. The note she left said, ''I did my best...
