...Staph, of course, is far from just an NFL problem. Two college teams, the '05 Florida Gators and the '03 USC Trojans, had multiple cases. And football is by no means the only sports victim. The infection kept Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Alex Rios out of the 2006 All-Star Game. A few days later another Toronto player caught it, and the clubhouse was disinfected. NBA players Paul Pierce, Grant Hill and Drew Gooden have had it. Staph killed a high school wrestler in California this summer, and last spring 15 students at a Pennsylvania high school were either treated...
...begs for forgiveness, crying her heart out in a wailing voice that elicits shivers. “Rarity,” the longest song on the album, is depressing and painfully slow. Williams sings, “So you’re never going to be a big star,” which works well with album closer—and AC/DC cover—“It’s a Long Way to the Top.” Of course, the cover is bluesified, and the result is a chill yet upbeat tune worthy of a good...
Britney’s music videos are like an ever-rotating menu of fantasies, but after 10 years of Britney (“...Baby One More Time” was released in October 1998) our star is running out of fetishes to cop.

As if having De Niro and Willis wasn’t enough star power, Sean Penn appears as the star of the movie within the movie. He’s joined by Catherine Keener as a ball-busting executive, Robin Wright Penn as Ben’s second wife, John Turturro as Willis’s agent, and Stanley Tucci as a writer...
...Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has toured Britain, Australia and three U.S. cities), is the highlight of a remarkable recent surge of plays about the Iraq war. Hollywood, traditionally the go-to vehicle for telling war stories, had its own flurry of interest but after a few star-studded box-office underperformers (In the Valley of Elah, Redacted and, most recently, Body of Lies) has largely retreated to its foxhole. Theater has stepped into the breach, using an impressive arsenal of stage weaponry to grapple in more imaginative, varied and visceral ways with the U.S.'s extended tour of duty...
