Will Ferrell appears topless onscreen more frequently than any current movie actress. So to think of him for more than a second obliges one to contemplate, with a kind of cringing pleasure, his torso. The chest is large, white and flabby, suggesting a beached sea otter, and it's pocked with what looks like dozens of tiny, imperfectly attached hair-implant tufts. It might be a helicopter's eye view of merino sheep stranded on a tundra...
...movies (Talladega Nights, Kicking & Screaming and Semi-Pro, a basketball comedy shooting in Los Angeles and set for release in 2008) and is Hollywood's active leader in self-humiliation. Is there a person in the English-speaking world who hasn't marveled at the topography of his naked torso? "I heard the premise and thought, Gosh, that could be really funny." And? "That was it.

"We were expecting to find a computer but we didn't think we'd find any remains or body parts. It was quite a surprise. It wasn't what we expected," said Sheriff Mark Hackel...
...discovery of Grant's torso overshadowed a number of brutal murders in the poorer parts of Detroit. Andrew Anthos, 72, was badly beaten on Feb. 13 while he was trying to help a wheelchair-bound neighbor stuck in the slush outside his Detroit home. The attacker, according to witnesses, had harassed Anthos as he rode home on the city bus. Before he died on Feb. 23, Anthos, who was gay, told police his killer had called him a faggot and later followed him off the bus. "We believe this was a hate crime," says Melissa Pope of the Triangle Foundation...
