...Biggie was notorious, James is nice. An oversize comic in the mold of Fatty Arbuckle, Jackie Leonard, Buddy Hackett, Rodney Dangerfield and Jackie Gleason, James is different in not using his weight as an excuse for high-pressure comedy - a giant tea kettle ready to blow its top. The star of TV's The King of Queens, he's a Ralph Kramden without anger issues. In Paul Blart, as in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (where he starred with Adam Sandler, this film's executive producer), James gets laughs by underreacting to the humiliations the world heaps...

Then he hired...
...striking palette of tastes and textures has long been a hallmark of Chinese cuisine (think sweet-and-sour soup), and this affinity for taste-bud workouts has carried over to trendy drinks. The countless drink stands that line Taiwanese streets flood the thirsty soul with endless variations of bubble teas, a.k.a. hot or cold teas with chewy tapioca balls and tropical juice blends. One popular combo, green tea with passion fruit, tapioca pearls and chewy coconut cubes, helps explain why 85°C's next coffee innovations will use panna cotta and fresh fruit...
