...Nemo through diamond palaces, into the mouths of dragons, and as a giant who climbs among the New York skyscrapers, pre King Kong. Though collected in various editions over the years, this one is the finest, reprinting the best of the full-page strip at its original, giant tabloid size (16x21 inches!) with meticulous re-coloring that duplicates as closely as possible the subtle hues that rolled off the presses 100 years ago. "So Many Splendid Sundays" is a magic formula for instant regression as you cradle a huge book in your lap and stare, open-mouthed, at the dazzling...
...singer, but she’s an actress with a pretty solid track record. That said, her overblown histrionics don’t quite work in stereo. “Personal” is, at its best, an overacted soundtrack to the sensationalized Lindsay Lohan story (featured in a tabloid near you). At its worst, it’s the whiny attempt of a self-proclaimed drama queen to be taken seriously as an artist. The album’s titular track is disappointing, to say the least.

Parasol's history has filled the pages of British tabloid newspapers this year largely because of her involvement in online pornography and her investment in a company that made adult videos--activities that, ironically, have fewer legal encumbrances than gambling. But by the time she joined up with Dikshit and Bhargava, she had severed those ties...
...Christian Social Union, also quit, claiming he could not work with anyone but his close friend Müntefering. Angela Merkel's attempt to stitch together a government as Germany's first female Chancellor was thrown into doubt. are you politicians crazy? ran a headline in Bild, a conservative tabloid. "Jobs at long last," joked the Tageszeitung, a left-wing daily, noting the new vacancies at the top. But these high-profile departures may not be all bad news. Müntefering's replacement is Brandenburg governor Matthias Platzeck, who's reputed to have a more pragmatic, less authoritarian style...
