Montag, for those of you who want to pretend you don't know, is one of the most important reality-show stars of our time. To promote her album, the 23-year-old star of MTV's The Hills agreed to appear on a People magazine cover to show off all the plastic surgery she's gotten. She posed in Playboy, started her own fashion line and declared that as a celebrity she should not have to endure staying on the show I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here! She is the Paris Hilton of our time...

...peace process of the 1990s collapsed in a spiral of bloodshed, and most Israelis have simply moved on. Opinion polls indicate that they would prefer a peace deal with the Palestinians, but also that most don't believe such a deal is possible. Yitzhak Rabin in the old days promised to "pursue peace as if there was no terror and fight terror as if there is no peace," but now that terror has been largely subdued, Israelis feel no urgency about peace.
