...caps and baggy shirts mope around in a makeshift prison just outside the walls of Tehran's Azadi Stadium. From behind the flimsy cage, the girls can hear cheers erupt as Iran and Bahrain battle it out for a place in the World Cup. Under arrest for trying to sneak into the football match disguised as boys, the girls await their punishment - but being so tantalizingly close to the game is torture enough. One of the captives debates with a reluctant guard about the logic of Iran's law banning women from stadiums. "There are lots of men in there...

No matter what color your card, or how long you've been trudging up those Palais stairs and flashing your pearliest smile at the blue-coated security guards, there's always some party you can't sneak into, some venue you will be barred from (like today's Da Vinci Codepress conference).

When spring arrives in Europe, campy pop and sultry ballads can't be far behind. This year, Athens will host the 51st annual Eurovision, the Continent-wide song contest that we say we hate but watch anyway. Here's a sneak peak at some acts hoping to make the May 20 finale, with odds calculated by the gambling site Sky Bet. Finland: Lordi Hard Rock Hallelujah. Prepare for the day of rockening. Some Finns aren't convinced this heavy-metal band, decked out like a group of J.R.R. Tolkien refugees, should represent their placid Nordic nation. But chainsaw-wielding Lordi...
