...wasn't until I was in the limo being whisked to the studio that it occurred to me that it was probably a bad idea to go on live TV under the influence of mind-altering drugs. When I got the call asking me to talk about a TIME story on that night's late news, I was playing host to a 5-year-old's birthday party, with attendees who included Ella, Ella, Stella, Ale (pronounced Ellay), Elee (same) and Belle, the princess I had rented. I don't know if my suggestibility was caused by a surfeit...
Abramoff was undaunted. Despite losing major studio distribution and even enduring boycotts for having filmed in Namibia, which was administered during the Apartheid-era by South Africa?whose government is reported to have provided extras and military hardware?he produced not only that movie, but also its even lousier sequel, Red Scorpion 2.

They make improvements along the lines of asking "Could it be a Ukrainian baby instead of a Chinese baby?" Then Marco sends the "writer" of the episode off to "write" the dialogue, although every line will be completely rewritten around the conference table...
...were fairly victimless. No, there's definitely a dose of false sanctimony in the rush to trash Kennedy's mea culpa. It recalls the frenzy last autumn with which the British press jumped on model Kate Moss, after pictures seemed to show her snorting cocaine in a London studio. (Last week, a Metropolitan Police official invited Moss to return to Britain to make a confession of her own.) Perhaps confusing fashion models with role models, Britain's tabloids for days attacked Moss for setting a bad example. But even Moss seems to be making a comeback, with a cheeky Virgin...
