...same two Princes today as they made their way out of Guards Chapel, near Buckingham Palace, after the service. Elton John, who sang sad songs at Diana's funeral, strode out to the kind of applause he'd have been more used to on stage. Even Gordon Brown, as fresh a British Prime Minister as Tony Blair was when Diana was killed, got his own big cheer. (The cool Scot responded with...

Stop the first 10 people on the street, and I guarantee they will each tell a fresh, interesting love story. Heck, I have one, and I'm only 19! Instead of moviemakers complaining that no one believes the sex and kisses they are dishing out, they should start with something real and place it in an interesting and marketable setting. I just don't want...
