...strategy for being a movie star is pretty simple, if counterintuitive: he makes fun of himself. It's the by-product of every successful person's strategy, which is to figure out what the other person is thinking. "Before they could kill me on Batman & Robin, I said, 'It's a bad film, and I'm the worst thing in it.' You try to defend an indefensible position, you'll look like a schmuck. The guys I dig don't do that. Look at Winston Churchill. He said, 'These are our shortcomings. Now let's get past it,'" Clooney says...
...sexual revolution was born in the mid-'60s, the product of affluence, demographics and the Pill. Women had been pouring into the work force since World War II, and the Pill offered sexual liberation to go with growing social and economic freedom. The baby-boom generation shaped its culture around sex, drugs and defiance of traditional values.

IdentiGEN's traceback system starts with a small DNA sample taken from an animal carcass while it is still intact.

Or maybe, if the artist doesn’t push the boundaries of music, the product will still boast some diversity. At the very least, said artist should present songs that are distinguishable from one another. Unfortunately, Jason Collett seems hopelessly incapable of doing any of these things. The folk-rock artist, who hails from Canada, recently released his fourth solo album “Here?...
...Guild of America West, movie residuals made up only .04 percent of the film industry’s income. The remainder of income goes to brand-name stars (think Brangelina), directors, and producers. In November, writers wanted a new formula for calculating these residuals not only for traditional products like DVDs and television shows, but also a guaranteed share in internet residuals. Given that without writers, no new shows can air—only hours upon hours of American Gladiator and Survivor 3,452: Missouri—these are not unreasonable demands. The shows, whether aired on television...
