...week's Globe makes clear that no one should be on her bad side. The tabloid, using tidbits gleaned from Martha, Inc., a new and unauthorized biography by Christopher Byron, alleges that Stewart curses a blue streak, berates underlings, is mean to her family and scares neighborhood children. The portrait was unsavory enough for K Mart to decide to pull the Globe from all 1,800 of its stores. The move will presumably make Stewart happy and keep K Mart shoppers from adverse distractions while cruising the aisles for her decorative doormats...
Rogers worked on three films that formed an autobiography. The first is Elephants: Fragments of an Argument (1973), a self portrait made up of family photographs and interviews with family and friends.

As Derf recounts, Dahmer's behavior became increasingly bizarre: faking epileptic seizures, imitating cerebral palsy, drinking six-packs of beer every day before school, and becoming so numb to school...
...reference to Rene Magritte’s classic “Ceci n’est pas une pipe” and from a smouldering cigar; he exposes organic components of heart, bone and vascular tissue in boxed-off frames. The work juxtaposes Homer Simpson with a Renaissance pencil portrait and a photograph of Sigmund Freud with a cartoon of a non-Disneyfied Pinnochio figure. The sheer volume of Bergstein’s icons requires considerable time to parse through his allusions, but close scrutiny rewards the viewer with finely attuned detail...
