...Judd Apatow movie carried the perky title Funny People, but audiences quickly figured out it should really be called The Guy Who Thinks He's Gonna Die and Isn't Very Nice. Or Funny. It managed a decent $8.7 million on opening day, dropped 15% on Saturday, Aug. 1, and is expected to finish the weekend at $23.4 million. The good news for Apatow and his long-ago roomie Adam Sandler is that their film topped the weekend box office at domestic theaters. The bad news ... Where to begin? Funny People cadged the lowest take for any No. 1 film...
...gray and rainy Saturday, five young men are gathered at the Body Guard music studio in Freetown, Sierra Leone's capital. The modest one-story building has only two rooms and no sign out front. Inside, the walls are lined with a velveteen fabric, the floor is covered in shag carpeting and there's minimal sound equipment - just a dated computer, two keyboards, a microphone and a mixing desk. The men are recording a track called "One Love," as King Fisher, the studio's founder and father figure to all the musicians who pass through it, sits at the computer...
...Medvedev will chair another Central Asian security summit on Saturday in Kyrgyzstan, with delegations from seven other former Soviet republics. An increased American interest in the region - if only as a logistical hub for its war effort in Afghanistan - has driven Moscow to reassert itself in its backyard.

As a kid, he'd push his tape recorder against the TV so he could transcribe every episode of Saturday Night Live. At his high school radio station, he wangled interviews with comedians like Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno and Steve Allen; at 15 he started doing stand-up at clubs. He's such a giant comedy nerd that after proudly playing me snippets of his Garry Shandling interview from high...
...SATURDAY Coffee is almost as much of a religion as football in Naples. Kick-start the day with a soul-shaking espresso in Scaturchio, www.scaturchio.it, a legendary café in Spaccanapoli. With its derelict palaces and colorful washing lines, this quarter is the city's beating heart. Make your first stop the Museo Cappella Sansevero, www.museosansevero.it, home to The Veiled Christ by 18th century sculptor Giuseppe Sanmartino - a work famed for its spookily realistic drapes. Then fast-forward into the 21st century with a tour of Chiaia, Naples' superchic art and fashion district. A wave of contemporary art galleries, such...
