...DIED. DALE EVANS, 88, buckskin-tassled "Queen of the West" who rode across both big and little screens in two TV shows and nearly 40 films alongside celluloid cowboy husband Roy Rogers; in Apple Valley, California. A single, teenage mother in Uvalde, Texas, Evans worked as a stenographer before launching a career as a radio singer and songwriter who would win a place in the all-time hit parade with the king of cowboy songs, Happy Trails...
DIED. MARIA JOSE CHARLOTTE HENRIETTA GABRIELLA, 94, Italy's last Queen before the nation became a republic in 1946; in Geneva. As a member of the Savoy dynasty, she ruled alongside her husband, King Umberto II, for a total of 27 days following the abdication of his father, Vittorio Emanuele.

The as-yet-untitled epic will examine the family's history and, no doubt, will attempt to shed a bit more light on the still elusive...
...Mark my words, the Cool Kids are taking over this game. Jerri, the camera-seeking missile who apparently gets it on with "rice is rice" Colby in Week Three, is getting more and more abrasive but is ruling this place with the hand of the high school prom queen that all the plain girls were scared of. She and Mitchell have the makings of an alliance, judging from the way they froze out Kel, and Keith or Tina will be their next victim as soon as the Kucha Tribe gets their act together and wins an immunity challenge...
