Northern Ireland has been obligingly explosive, of course -- and now that other old standby, the royal family, has offered up its requisite amount of gossip. Wednesday a spokeswoman for Prince Charles confirmed that Camilla Parker Bowles, the Prince's longtime mistress, has met Prince William for the first time. When Diana was alive, Camilla was kept very much in the shadows. Her sudden flurry of interest in Charles' son -- they reportedly got together three times over the last month -- has sparked rumors that Camilla is about to become...
...again) and the bombing of the Speaker's limousine to the design and building of a huge 24-ft.-high, 45-ft.-wide sphere for time travel.

"I love her access to her dark places," says Sex auteur Don Roos. "There's a very mature, adult mind behind that childlike face...
...elites. Jewish-American composers like Irving Berlin and Jerome Kern invented the popular song and dominated the field for a swank half-century. And as they had borrowed from Scott Joplin and W.C. Handy, so did they help bring black artists into the mainstream. Billie Holiday and Charlie Parker ran their astounding riffs on the backs of sturdy pop tunes by Jewish immigrants.
