...June were hard core. And two other games of that ilk, Halo 2 and Half-Life 2, are expected to post big numbers later this year. Universal Pictures has a Doom movie set to film in Prague this winter, with producer John Wells--of such respectable fare as ER and The West Wing--attached. (The Rock reportedly has his sights set on the starring role.) The hard core has become the mainstream. This isn't a subculture, it's a culture...
...Europe's fourth-largest bank in terms of market capitalization. "This is a unique opportunity to enter a very interesting market, which will add diversification, solidity and stability to our future results," Santander chairman Emilio Botín proclaimed.

AIDS-care centers still won't put the word AIDS on their doors, opting instead for such intentionally obscure labels as "home garden...
After BRITNEY SPEARS strutted down a Las Vegas chapel aisle in ripped jeans to wed a childhood friend six months ago, the nuptials lasted just 55 hours. This time Spears, 22, is undergoing a waiting period--er, engagement--before she gets hitched to boyfriend KEVIN FEDERLINE. Federline, 26, was a backup dancer for Spears' ex, singer Justin Timberlake. The groom-to-be has a 2-year-old daughter and a baby due in July with former Moesha star Shar Jackson, who has trashed the couple in the press since they started dating in April.
