...Perry, 38, might just be winning the war. His first play to be turned into a movie, the 2005 Diary of a Mad Black Woman, was made for a paltry $5.5 million yet earned $22 million in its opening weekend on the way to a $50 million gross. A year later, Madea's Family Reunion--in which Perry reprises his signature drag character, Mabel (Madea) Simmons--took in $30 million in its first three days and eventually grossed $63 million.

As Santogold walks down the street we see images of a woman who appears to be vomiting...

Last year, a report by the Italian business association Confesercenti estimated that the Mob in Italy generated more than $125 billion of annual revenue, a figure equal to 7% of the country's gross domestic product.
