Despite our melting-pot roots, Americans have often been quick to blame the influx of immigrants for rising crime rates. But new research released Monday shows that immigrants in California are, in fact, far less likely than U.S.-born Californians are to commit crime. While people born abroad make up about 35% of California's adult population, they account for only about 17% of the adult prison population, the report by the Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) showed. Indeed, among men ages 18 to 40 - the demographic most likely to be imprisoned - those born in the U.S. were...

I hadn’t seen Shakespeare in Love (rated R!) in theaters because I was under 17, so she rented it from Blockbuster...
...guest, if very shy. “He was different than Charlize in many respects,” said Lachter, referring to the Pudding’s 2008 Woman of the Year, Charlize Theron, whose appearance was particularly boisterous. As the press conference ended, Walken posed with his Pudding pot. Asked about his experience at Harvard, the actor responded that he loved the College and didn’t think it was lacking in a certain musical instrument. “Harvard has all the cowbell that it needs,” he said. —Staff writer Cora...
