...Rosenberger ’02, my former co-editor and now Arts empress, made the astute observation: “My roommates and I are wondering WHY the model Giselle is going out with Leonardo di Caprio. He isn’t attractive any more (a frat boy paunch without the frat boy is twice as vulgar) and she has plenty of her own money, is the undisputed queen of the super-models and should be able to get any one she wants, or at least get the one she wants to the gym. So we need an explanation. Personally...

...surely lacked demonstrable dreamboat features. His slight shoulders led down to a slight paunch. His hair was already receding. In his first solo film, "I Surrender, Dear," there is a brief shot, as he runs from a house, of Bing without his toupee; not a pretty sight. Often he was too lazy to apply a hairpiece, so in movies he'd wear hats or caps with little plot justification. Most noticeable were his Babar ears; they made him look, one studio exec complained, "like a taxi with both doors open." (Crosby, who refused the mogul's demand that he have...

...amount of time guys spend in deep sleep declines with age, so that by 50--much younger than expected--some men spend no time at all in slow-wave sleep, the most restful stage.

That's enough to keep a guy awake at night...

...front man. The former chief of staff, congressman, defense secretary and oilman didn't thrill folks with his speech, keeping it short and slightly aw-shucks, but showed no fear whatsoever. He did look a generation older than his running mate - the classic middle-aged white guy with a paunch - and no one mentioned Cheney's faulty ticker. For Bush, he's a throwback to another Washington, when men were tight-lipped and professional about things, when folks argued less and got more things done, when Republicans didn't use hair-dryers. At least that's the idea...

...finally dug his own grave. By leaving Susan Weld and their five children and deciding to "date" while still married to his lady-wife, Weld clearly aspires to Clintonesque activities. Does he truly think his image will remain as Teflon as the President? By thinking that his middle-aged paunch and balding head might possibly be attractive on-screen, in addition to his deplorable treatment of his wife, Weld has remade himself into a less than admirable public figure...
