...back of the bus must have thought the fumes had melted their brains. Here they were in the North African kingdom of Morocco, riding into a slum in the town of Salé. Yet as they peered through the window of the bus, they could see a giant poster on the side of a house, featuring a leering Saddam Hussein holding a rifle. Stranger sights lay ahead: as the bus rounded a corner, the street was full of Iraqis and American soldiers in Humvees...
...Biggest Omission: Star Trek. Director J.J. Abrams and writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman all made the journey to San Diego for their new FOX show Fringe, and Abrams said he has footage of Star Trek ready to show, so how come the only thing fans got was a poster? Paramount, the studio releasing Star Trek next May, was a no-show in the panels. A studio staffer told me months ago he thought Comic-Con had "jumped the shark."

...Arguments like that have unexpectedly cast Mosley as the poster boy for the U.K.'s BDSM (bondage, domination, submission and sadomasochism) community.

She's been able to do this partly because she's smart, partly because she's a terrific networker and mostly because she married one of L.A.'s richest lawyers. Thomas has held fund raisers for John Edwards, Barbara...
...which his family first settled in 1770. He hosts extravagant dinner parties - foie gras, venison, malva pudding, set to robust reds from nearby vineyards - around a giant polished table at which he arranges guests with a view to conversation. Accommodation is king-size and regally furnished - leather armchairs, four-poster beds, wall-to-wall libraries - in a line of converted outbuildings. And with geese wandering down the dust avenue that runs between the buildings as horses nuzzle in their pens beyond, the view is every bit as bucolic as the flowers in the surrounding fields.www.kersefontein.co.za
