...banning it. For concerned parents, limiting BPA exposure for children isn't that hard. Watch out for the number 7 on the bottom of plastic containers, which often means they contain BPA; avoid canned foods for children; and don't microwave plastic food containers that contain the chemical, as heat can make it easier for BPA to leach. Ultimately, though, it may not even matter what the FDA does - a new report by the Investor Environmental Health Network says that consumers, manufacturers and retailers are already forgoing the chemical, buying and selling BPA-free bottles and other products.

...stars with 13 Oscar nominations between them paired up for an R-rated crime drama. The actors, Al Pacino and Robert De Niro, and the movie, Heat, received a glitzy, year-end push from a major studio and breathless media coverage.

This summer Warners closed its specialty divisions that handle smaller-budget films, Picturehouse...
...just Hollywood that has changed since Heat. Its leading men have a lot more road under their feet. "Thirteen years ago they were beautiful - lean and muscular and in their middle-aged prime with great haircuts," says Jeffrey Wells, of the blog Hollywood Elsewhere. "Today they're softer, grayer, saggier, less cool. It's a hard pill to swallow, but they're just not top-dog machismo types any more." Beyond the indignities of aging that all actors inevitably face, Pacino and De Niro have both appeared in a string of bad films that damaged their personal brands. For Pacino...
