...predictable, except for our growing discomfort with Zellweger. It is rare, and awful, to watch an Oscar winner valiantly attempt to convince us, against all evidence to the contrary, that it makes sense for her to be playing girlish and cute in a negligible comedy. She's about to turn 40, which absolutely does not mean she's no longer allowed to fall in love onscreen. But Zellweger has undeniably changed since her Bridget Jones's Diary days, and her fitness to continue in the same romantic-comedy vein as Bridget is very much in question. Her mouth always...

That's why local Kurdish leaders are going to great lengths to get out the vote. A high-ranking Kurdish official in Diyala's Khanaqin district said thousands of voters would be bussed down from Suleymaniya province in Kurdistan to cast their...
Highlight Reel: 1. On a Washington, D.C. judge suing his dry cleaner for $54 million for allegedly losing a pair of his pants: "It illustrates again an important truth about human nature-that angry people can go nuts. This in turn illustrates an important point about how to run a system of justice: We can't trust people to be reasonable when they get involved in lawsuits. What was most shocking about this case was not the idiotic claim, however, but that the case was allowed to go on for more than two years-complete with sworn testimony...
