...mammoth futuristic fake-suede couch--and three very ordinary teenage women battling America's largest case of butterflies. A few weeks ago, over a catered dinner of poached salmon and Chinese chicken salad, the contestants chatted with TIME about taking the judges' critiques of their singing, especially the gleeful Simon Cowell's, in front of well over 20 million Fox viewers. "Simon's comments humble us," said Jasmine Trias. "We've been turned into celebrities overnight, but we're still the same people we always were...
...Wazir tribesmen for war damages and set free most of the 160 suspected al-Qaeda supporters who were captured. The tribesmen were also allowed to keep their weapons. In exchange, Mohammed and his clan promised to refrain from attacks on Pakistani forces and the U.S. troops in nearby Afghanistan.

And she uses it, as Eddie Murphy used racism, to make sharp points about sexism. When touting her film, Fey, winking at how its star is a bit tarted up for a teenager, says, "You don't have to be a girl...
...abrupt, massive and raggedly executed U-turn last week. After months of deriding a referendum on the proposed European Union constitution as a "gross and irresponsible betrayal of the true British national interest," he endorsed the idea after all. The normally dour Conservative leader, Michael Howard, was gleeful as he mocked Blair's pirouette during a House of Commons debate. "Six months ago, the Prime Minister stood before his party conference and said, with all the lip-quivering intensity for which he has become famous, 'I can only go one way. I've not got a reverse gear.' Today...
