...that the best way to become a better conversationalist was to spend a lot of time in bars. Part of the rationale was that other than drinking or maybe playing pool, all you do at a bar is talk to people, many of whom you don't actually know. Is this a valid strategy? The problem is, it depends on what kind of person you are. If you like that kind of slightly alcohol-fueled intimacy or quick sharing, it's fine. But if you're a little standoffish or a little reserved, it's a bit harder...
...while 658 sounds like a lot of sales for an album by someone who can't sing, it is nevertheless a dangerous sign for our economy. You can chart GDP or housing starts, but I can't, so the way I know we are in deep trouble is when celebrities can't persuade us to buy their crap. In the America I grew up in, we order perfume by the quart just because it's made by Ernest Borgnine's fifth wife. We are almost as eager to buy stuff from celebrities as Borgnine is to get married...
...disappointed by Montag's album, though he adds, "I generally like all albums." He loves the way Montag portrays a villain on The Hills and in interviews and probably when she's all alone.

(I know there are hard-core defenders of U2's electro-experiment album Pop out there somewhere ... but they're wrong.) No, the key is change and more of the same. So while Legrand's voice, easily one of the most beguiling ones in rock today, has until now been weighed down by the band's reverb-heavy atmosphere, Teen Dream simply lightens the load. The results, as on "Lover of Mine," are vocals that soar with joy while...
...rare chance to travel the globe pursuing his passion. But she's angry that the Olympic track designers have been pushing the limits in recent years, and did not install protective walls around the tricky final turn until after the tragedy. "This should not have happened," Lawthers says. "You know that a track can injure your son. You don't think it can kill him. I so feel for his mother. She thought she was sending her son to the Olympics. She didn't expect him to go to war and not come home." (Watch a video about a proud...
