...whole affair carried disquieting echoes of the march to war against Iraq. Once again, unnamed sources gave the essential details in advance to the New York Times. Tehran, predictably, denied the allegations. A Pentagon official likened it to "a brushback pitch" designed to highlight Iranian mischief without the drumbeat of war that would have reverberated throughout the country if a senior Administration official had pointed the finger...
...mute like a magic trick, and vocalists Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz wield the same saccharine croon. Granted, the disc is stuffed with studio effects; I’d be shocked to learn that the drummer can keep time without a click track or that the vocalists can keep pitch without three producers and Auto-Tune.

The photos, the most chaste of which is shown here, were passed around the Internet like a quaffle around a Quidditch pitch. (Radcliffe's role as an unstable stable boy calls for him to be nude onstage.) He also guest-stars as a comically bad-with-girls version of himself on the new season of Ricky Gervais' series Extras. What magic puberty hath wrought...
