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!

Mendoza, who has a graphic-design company and was paid $28 to design the fan site Heidi-Pratt.com says he is not disappointed by Montag's album, though he adds, "I generally like all albums."

By taking the little bit I could afford to a place that had nothing, I felt like I could make a bigger difference." Johnston found an old Knights of Columbus building on Cairo's main drag and bought it in May for $24,000. Along with his girlfriend Adrienne Tootle, 25, and Zach Rapattoni, 24, he spent months making the building habitable. (See pictures of Americans in their homes...

...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. (See pictures of Gaza in the aftermath of the Israeli invasion...
