...Let’s get the band back together one more time,” says Damon Albarn, in a heavy faux-American accent, of the sentiment that led to Blur’s brief but stunning reunion last summer. Albarn clearly knows that what he’s saying is more than a little cliché. Yet it’s an absolutely sincere statement, and the group have thoroughly earned that sincerity. Though there seem to be as many bands reuniting as forming these days, the Blur reunion felt particularly special. “No Distance Left...

...have to be subtle with the comedy in movies,” says Craig Robinson, who plays warehouse manager Darryl on NBC’s “The Office” and has starred in films such as “Knocked Up.” This sentiment is somewhat surprising, however, given the over-the-top nature of his upcoming film, “Hot Tub Time Machine...

Afterward, Ohno said he might have won gold if the winner, South Korea's Lee Jung-Su, hadn't obstructed him. The Koreans accused Ohno of playing dirty. "Ohno didn't deserve to stand on the same medal platform as me," said Lee. When asked Saurday night if she liked Ohno, A Reum Han, a skating fan who traveled from Soeul...

...designed to force the Democrats into entering the mid-term elections of 2010 empty-handed. In doing so, the Republicans are assuring a legislative dead-lock at a time when our country desperately needs new ideas and approaches. It seems that substance-less populism and counter-productive anti-government sentiment are in danger of carrying the day, especially if Democrats like Ms. Meyer are already willing to throw their president to the dogs. Does she really believe that the Palins, Boehners and Cantors of the world will deliver more jobs, better health-care and a speedier withdrawal from Iraq...
