...full-frontally touch somebody.” Upcoming episodes of the show will feature celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, Jeopardy champ Ken Jennings, and an as-yet-unnamed Harvard professor. Saget has also been gaining attention recently for his straight-to-DVD spoof, “Farce of the Penguins.” The film is narrated by Samuel L. Jackson and features the vocal talents of a wildly diverse cast, including Dane Cook, Christina Applegate, Tracy Morgan, and most of the cast of “Full House.” “A lot of my friends...
...Crawford Greenburg got unusual access for her new book, Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States Supreme Court (Penguin Press; 340 pages), including interviews with nine current and former Justices.

"Was there no place where a penguin without a heartsong could truly belong?" asks Happy Feet's narrator at one point. This being a George Miller movie, the answer is an entertainingly entangled double negative-together with a family-friendly environmental message as light on its feet as the dance work. "You can see that element of the healer in all of George's works," insists Szubanski. "And I think that's partly why he's drawn...
