...really going out on a limb, whereas in America it happens all the time." On behalf of their compatriots, male journalists are fighting back in a touchingly macho display. "It might surprise you to know that Englishmen don't tend to find American 'gals' that tantalising," sniffed the Mirror. Spat the Times of London: "Only a certain sort of man would be attracted to a woman whose greatest qualities are her thinness and her ability to blub on cue." And the Daily Mail suggested that Paltrow is suffering from a bruised ego now that ex-boyfriend Ben Affleck is dating...
...along with his daddy's old records, and he sang along with the children of the black sharecroppers who lived nearby. And sometimes, when he was singing by himself, thinking that no one could hear him, he mixed it all together. ... Whatever he heard, he swallowed it, then he spat it out on that old Starck upright...
...Method; from kidney failure; in Los Angeles. After Navy service he joined an Actors Studio class that included Marlon Brando (whose corruptive brother he would play in On the Waterfront) and helped to free stage and film performance from the kingdom of nice.

Both sides might care to ponder Cage's own observation that, "the very practice of music...
...might not have trusted Thomas Cloyd to drive you to the mall, let alone fly you cross-country in a commercial airliner. In 1986 Cloyd was arrested in Texas for drunken driving. In 1998 he admitted to police that he had been drinking when he pushed his wife around, spat on her and verbally abused her, and in 2000 he was arrested for belligerently harassing his neighbors while soused. So it's a wonder that Cloyd, 44, an America West Airlines pilot, was ever allowed to climb into the captain's seat of an Airbus A319...
