Brangelina monopolized the paparazzi. Vinnifer had the gossips geysering. The celebrity world gasped when Justeron (or Camberlake) split up. But if you want to know who's a real movie star, check out the latest Harris poll. It's weirder dish than you'll find in the Weekly World News...
...scanner, whose magnetic field measures how active cells are by recording how much oxygen they consume for energy. After tasting each drink, all the volunteers showed strong activation of the reward areas of the brain--which are associated with pleasure and satisfaction--and they were almost evenly split in their preferences for the two brands. But when Montague repeated the test and told them what they were drinking, three out of four people said they preferred Coke, and their brains showed why: not only were the reward systems active, but memory regions in the medial prefrontal cortex and hippocampus also...

And just up from those tracks, running parallel to them, the park is cut again by the four lanes of Elliott Avenue, one of Seattle's major arteries.

For various reasons, he hasn't been playing enough tournaments and his untimely Jan. 5 split with coach Roger Rasheed - sudden and rancorous, despite Rasheed's gracious public statement - would derail anyone, besides, perhaps, the cantankerous and determined Hewitt. He still talks a good game and there's little reason to believe that wedlock and fatherhood have dulled his yearning to win his own Open...
