...dear ones are out of school, is not the best time to test the limits of our parental guidance skills. We just want to file and forget them for a couple of hours in a place where they're safe from all offense except a plethora of bathroom jokes. But this year even the comedies scored low on the raunchometer. I yield to no one in my admiration for Talladega Nights (how many movies about NASCAR doofuses contain an Albert Camus joke?), but face it, folks, it was no Forty Year Old Virgin. It wasn't even Wedding Crashers. That...
...announcement, I watched. I feel very sad for everything that's happened and for everybody involved. I'm proud of the work we did there, but it's not a good time in the history of that show. It's hard to watch. It sort of became a joke...
...Philippe Starck lamps and brass rails (yes, they gleam), but he added another tier of banquettes to make the stage feel more like a boxing ring. "I wanted to give the musicians the feeling of absolute power," says Garcia.

After all, eight of the 10 costliest disasters in U.S. history have been hurricanes. This time, most of the hurricane voters predicted that the storm would devastate the East Coast, including New York City. History has left us all the clues...
...blogs. Do you have the audience in mind, or do you care what the celebrities think? I don?t know. It?s so difficult. I?ve thought about this so many times, and there?s no way that I could please everybody. If I?m trying to make a joke, say the whole elbow-in-the-ribs thing about Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, everything can?t be sugar-coated. Sometimes you?ve got to just go with it and make the joke. I can?t really be worried if celebrities get the joke or not. I have been fortunate...
