...love of music that drove Corbijn to take up photography in the first place. As a shy, gangly teenager, he would go to gigs on his own and take his father's camera, he says, "purely to get close to the musicians without looking like an idiot." From there, Corbijn developed into one of the most highly regarded photographers of his era, with stars as diverse as Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, the Arctic Monkeys, Robert De Niro and Clint Eastwood lining up to be his subjects. His portraits have been exhibited in art galleries around the world...
...Hollywood. "I got tired of being treated like a precious little egg on a pillow," says Seinfeld, who moved back to Manhattan, where he had gotten his start as a comedian while attending Queens College in the 1970s. "'That's not the water Mr. Seinfeld prefers, you idiot'-I just wanted to get away from that. I missed people yelling at me and treating me like a regular guy."

Tipsarevic, an iconoclast with rings in his eyebrows and a quote from Dostoyevsky's The Idiot tattooed, in Japanese, on his forearm, is the most talkative of the new crop. "Nobody in our country invested one dollar into any one of our players," he said. His tongue-in-cheek explanation for why so many Serbs are suddenly playing at the top of the circuit? "Depleted uranium...
...still living there (get ready to start eviction proceedings), that there's a second mortgage no one bothered to mention, or that the house is in major disrepair (forget about arranging an inspection before an auction). "This isn't for novices," says Todd Beitler, co-author of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Buying Foreclosures. "There's a lot of research that needs to be done." It's little wonder that about 80% of the time, the company that holds the mortgage on a house buys it at auction...
