...that adorns He's Just Not That Into You. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Aniston play Neil and Beth, a couple who have been together for seven years. Neil still doesn't want to get married. For this, he is banished to live in unwashed squalor on his 44-ft. sailboat. I don't know about Neil the character, but Affleck the actor doesn't seem to mind much.

Malone's brilliance and belligerence have become the stuff of legend. In 1991, for example, Malone was outbid by a rival in his attempt to acquire the Learning Channel. His response: TCI began dropping the Learning Channel from its local cable systems. The tactic killed his rival...
...nights a week. P.D. lives on the Upper East Side, which he says is one of the only four neighborhoods that exist in Manhattan. (The others are the Upper West Side, Midtown, and the Village.) Most days, P.D. dresses like he is going sailing. Pastel shirts, pastel pants, and sailboat-laden belts are the staples of his wardrobe.
