...course, Gainsbourg is lucky she's got her father's musical genes to fall back on. The path that many actresses follow from the movie set to recording studio is lined with misplaced ambitions and audible trauma - remember Lindsay Lohan's and Scarlett Johansson's disastrous efforts? But Gainsbourg has made the transition effortlessly. Her 2006 album 5:55, a collaboration with Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, topped the French charts, with critics praising her as a true chanteuse. For her latest album IRM - which will be released on Jan. 26 in the U.S. and most of Europe - she teamed...

Since those days chucking candy in the grocery store in Cedar Falls, Kurt Warner has been an inspiration...
...Britain have offered to help Kenya set up a witness protection program that might include moving some people to safety in neighboring countries, and Moreno-Ocampo told TIME that the government promised to cooperate and protect witnesses. The problem, of course, is that some of the government ministers and police officials who would normally run such a program might be the very people who want to silence the witnesses. Rights activists blame government officials for leaking the names of the witnesses, who had been promised secrecy before testifying. Witnesses who went before the panels say their names...
