...town in this Indian Kashmir valley, where devastated houses barely stand at odd angles, missing walls from which crumbling rock and debris poured down. An entire row of shops has lost its front, as though sliced off by a blunt cheese wire, and bars of Lux soap, pastries and plastic toys spill out onto the street. We pass broken villages and military camps, including an artillery battery swamped by a mudslide, still vainly pointing toward Pakistan 10 miles away. There are three or four checkpoints. Then a landslide announces the end of the road and an end to any visible...
...PLAYED A GAY CHARACTER ON SOAP IN THE '70S--PRETTY GROUNDBREAKING. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WILL & GRACE? Well, you can't sound like one of these disgruntled baseball players who 40 years later watch these guys make these salaries and get pissed off and go, "You know, back then, we made $10,000 a year.

The decidedly boyish singer will play a macho K-1 fighter who falls for his brother's lover in a series tentatively titled A Love to Kill. Though the show is set to air first in Korea this October, the astounding popularity...
...spirit of the part, Laurie tried Vicodin once, deeming it "excellent stuff, though not to be tried at home." In fact, the actor says, he envies his character--a loner with a limp, whose primary comforts are soap operas and prescription painkillers. "House has complete freedom from anxiety over what the world thinks of him," Laurie says. "He has no need for public approval." Laurie, on the other hand, still has to get used to the roar of applause...
