...America the land of opportunity? Or a materialist hell where people barter their dignity for trinkets? Ask the woman who's fishing under a male model's kilt in order to identify a hidden object (don't ask) and win a trip to Scotland--it's both! The makers of this raucous game show do research on potential contestants, drawn from the audience, recruiting family and friends to help pose personalized, howlingly degrading challenges. The champs win fabulous vacations but must leave immediately, hence the title. Sometimes inspired, always juvenile, Toothbrush makes you feel better about whatever...
Those close to Steve Forbes know only this about his spiritual life: he's an Episcopalian and attends St. John on the Mountain in Bernardsville, N.J. Perhaps you'd be circumspect about your faith too if your father had made you wear a kilt to Sunday services as a kid. "He hadn't given an awful lot of thought to these kinds of issues until he started running for President last year," says Forbes supporter Gordon Humphrey.

The elegant, artistic stage design also proved interesting...

Some 700 years post-'Braveheart'; voters in Scotland will decide on two initiatives that could give the kingdom its first parliament since 1707. One would create a separate Scottish Parliament; another would give that body the power to levy taxes. If a parliament is created, it would administer Scotland's share of the UK government budget, currently $22.5 billion. That appears to be enough for locals, who support the idea of a parliament but balk at it actually having any power over their wallets...
...recovered. When people on the set fouled up, they were serenaded with a chorus of Happy Birthday instead of being chastised with an uncomfortable silence. To break up the long shoots, Tarantino staged antics like "Skirt Day," on which men were encouraged to wear dainty frocks (he wore a kilt), and gave weekly wrap parties, including one raging bonfire dance in which Tarantino, his girlfriend (actress Mira Sorvino) and crew members boogied after midnight to the sound tracks from his previous films...
