...army's radio and journal. (At age 35, seven years into his career as a member of the Knesset, he enrolled in an officer-training course, emerging as a second lieutenant and polishing his political résumé.) Not that Olmert seems fazed by his past: he is outwardly macho and even arrogant. "He is not afraid to confront anyone, to make his place in history," says an aide to a Cabinet minister...
...comic books, bore similarities to his cavalier hero ("I don't give a hoot about ... reviews. What I want to read are royalty checks," he liked to say) but revealed a softer, subtler side in the '70s and '80s, writing two well-received children's books and parodying his macho image in TV ads for Miller Lite beer...

(the sexy "older woman" in Y tu mamá también, but here sinewy and resolute) would both be worthy...
...most shocked of all, saying that his ouster "doesn't make sense logically." Although he didn't make the cut on Idol, Daughtry has already been fielding job offers, including the front-man gig for the band Fuel. Meanwhile, bald guys lost their best hope for a macho sex symbol since Vin Diesel. Has anyone checked the Hair Club for Men's phone records...
