...reactions to it would be.” This is the one I was telling myself when I sat down in the chair in front of a hostile woman with forceps, a German accent and a long, hollow needle. But as soon as I looked at myself in the mirror post-piercing I knew it couldn’t have been for the reactions. The last thing I ever want to deal with is the slings and arrows of others—although I admit I do like seeing little wrinkled old women get up and pick another seat...
...bagpipes and a lifelong supporter of the hapless Burnley football club, he gives off a blokish charm and confidence. Veteran reporters he has publicly tongue-lashed and undercut by leaking to competitors still tend to like him personally.

"It blew hard," he now says. "It was moving fast. Oh, man, it was wicked." Over the next 78 hours, the nine men fled rust-colored torrents through 4-ft.-high tunnels and ended up stranded in a huge...
...mirror, Tobey Maguire almost looks like a regular person. It's 8 a.m., and he's sprawled out in a makeup chair on the closed set of Spider-Man II, wearing gray sweats, shorts and sneakers. He's not exactly larger than life--maybe 5 ft. 8 in. His hair is goofy and tousled. His voice is hoarse and has a touch of Californian dude-ulosity in it. But the chair swivels around, and you notice the eyes, luminous pearly gray lasers that go right through you. Then you remember: Oh, yeah. Right. Movie star...
