...received a 60-day suspension for his positive drug test in 1995, and he has sounded like a changed man since. He backed up his words with heavy and active charity participation, a sedentary public life and a crystal clean rap sheet. He looked and acted sincere...
...Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association unpeeled a surprising new finding: Contrary to popular assumption, eating one egg a day does not significantly increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.

Stiles thinks it's unfair to stereotype the genre. "Some teen movies really suck, while others are really good but get a bad rap," she says, adding that the same dictum holds for young actors. To break out of the pack takes charisma and clever marketing. Talent helps too. Since Stiles stars in Disney's new teen comedy, 10 Things I Hate About You, it might be helpful to examine 10 things this emerging...
