...Shalit is released, Israeli officials have said repeatedly, the army will pull back. Still, it doesn't look good. Attempts to negotiate Shalit's release, assisted by Egyptian mediators, have been paralyzed by the absence of a clear hierarchy on the other side.

(On Animal Planet's, you can watch Web-exclusive series Pet Trends for the latest in canine fashion and high-end doggie snacks.)

But the bit about a girl asked by a guy in a yellow fur suit to pull on his umbilical cord? on that one I was with the girl, who says, "Honestly, I haven?t the foggiest." The prankster and his two cohorts shrugs off her bafflement by explaining, "Some days people laugh, some days they don?t. Today?s skit was adult-oriented...
...been making friends ever since its launch in 2002, and why not? Celebrities and normal humans alike have discovered that the two-handed device, with its characteristic swivel screen, is a lot easier to use than a BlackBerry, Windows Mobile PDA or even a Palm Treo. It can pull off most of those other handhelds' e-mail and messaging tricks, and has a carefully crafted allure that even the famed Crackberry would envy (hip-hop styling + high demand + limited availability + Paris Hilton = must-have).
