...windows are shuttered with gray planks of wood, shingles are missing like jack-o'-lantern teeth, and its beams are scorched. It would be perfect as a haunted house for the local kids this Halloween, if any kid would care to go near it. But the house looks too forlorn for games and too forbidding. I don't even know if I should discuss it in terms of "is" or "was," since its very existence raises the question of whether a ruined house may still be called a house...
There you are, all forlorn on Thursday nights, and there's JERRY SEINFELD, swanning around in Australia on tour. As a public service, we humbly offer you some of the material Seinfeld is trying out in foreign climes. (Warning: comedy sometimes becomes misplaced in translation.) On Australia: "I love your flag [above]: Britain at night." On his neuroses while scuba diving off the coast of Queensland: "I see a rock, there's a fish, and, yes, I'm still alive."

...artist formerly known as Marky Mark is sitting on a couch in a room on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel in Toronto, posing for a photographer. He is fully dressed, and he's giving the camera a forlorn look. The rapper turned film actor and star of the controversial new porn-world comedy-drama Boogie Nights now prefers to be called Mark Wahlberg, the name his mother and father gave him when he was born, 26 years ago, in Boston, Mass. But the photographer wants a bit more attitude, a bit more of the old Calvin Klein...
