Estée Lauder's Extravagant Bright collection features limited-edition eye-shadow duos designed to look like a kaleidoscope ($30 each...
...fellow villagers of Rampasasa on the remote island of Flores say they are descended from a tribe of tiny, hairy folk whom they call "the short people."

And Paul Giamatti as Braddock's trainer-manager is a revelation. He's a chipper, wised-up guy who gets Braddock his comeback fight, then guides his rise to the championship bout with Max Baer, played with a menacing charm and sadism by Craig Bierko...
