...Soviet republic. In fact, they've only visited the country a few times - to pick up their passports and presumably to finalize their contracts. But that hasn't dampened their enthusiasm for their adopted country. When "Geor" and "Gia" advanced to the semifinals with a win over a Dutch duo on Aug. 18, the mop-haired Terceiro bounded into the stands to do a little Brazilian-style samba underneath the red-and-white Georgian flag...
...sexual prowess ready to explode. Get with the program, they said, or get out of the way. When first released, the songs were No. 1 R&B winners (Soul Man hit No. 2 on the pop charts), and they never did lose their power. In 1980 the sham-soul duo the Blues Brothers, a.k.a.

It's in Ben's genes to make fun of show business, as he did earlier in the priceless male-model comedy Zoolander, and to see it in a fun-house reflection: Stiller and mirror...
...Agarwalla brothers - the maverick team that brought a wildly popular Scrabble knockoff to Facebook last year, just scored another bingo against Hasbro. A day after Hasbro filed a lawsuit to force the duo based in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India, to take down Scrabulous, the software developers quietly launched a new, roll-your-own version on Facebook. The move appears to cleverly sidestep legal issues while giving the 500,000 fans of Scrabulous a way to thumb their noses at the Man - and play the version of Scrabble they want...
