Foul play is confirmed, but the identity of the players may make for the great murder mystery of international finance. Edmond Safra, owner of the Republic National Bank of New York and one of the world's richest men, was murdered Friday in Monte Carlo after two knife-wielding hooded men broke into his penthouse apartment and set a fire after the banker locked himself in a bathroom.

Celebrities and everyday folks alike are bragging about the bacon and eggs they downed for breakfast, followed by a midday repast of pork rinds. In return for this unlimited meat, all the new diets ask is that you lay off the penne...
...hilarious Broadway debut, the self-dubbed dame sings a bit and muses about her family (Mum's in a "maximum-security twilight home"), but mostly she chats with the audience--or picks on it (though "caringly"). Humphries, a gloriously gaudy "megastar," has timing as sharp as a knife pleat...
