...Bridget Jones’s body double" and a jealous “Catherine Zeta-Jones,” with whom she was forced to do the Charleston. Throughout the festivities, the Texas native made it clear that she was less than thrilled by the frigid Cambridge weather. “Where was this an hour ago when it was ten degrees outside?” she said when asked to wear a fat suit during the roast. Before they presented her with the traditional golden Pudding Pot, Andersson and Compton required Zellweger to complete tasks including seducing...

"Where I come from, this isn't snow," a Croatian living in London told the Munich-based Süddeutsche Zeitung. But "in Britain, different measurements apply," the paper added. Another publication from southern Germany, the Badische Zeitung, turned Britain's enduring addiction to wartime jokes back on their old adversary with a simple two-word headline: "London Capitulates...
