...careful what you whine for. With health-care costs hobbling profits, more employers are saying to employees, Get healthy--or else. After all, insurance premiums and absenteeism by sick workers set businesses back $15 billion a year, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And yet 70% of health-care costs stem from preventable chronic diseases. Take diabetes, which costs nearly $92 billion a year: 91% of cases could be avoided by better eating. Smoking-related illnesses rack up an additional $75 billion a year...
Rogen might seem a spawn of Woody Allen, but he's closer to Cheech and/or Chong with a bar mitzvah. He hasn't the Woody whine and inferiority complex. Like the Martin stage persona, the characters these guys play don't have self-esteem problems; indeed, that is their problem. The only star who simmers with comic angst is Stiller. He's the put-upon loser, a jocular Job, in films like There's Something About Mary and Night at the Museum, when he's not taking roles as the pompous, uptight bad guy (in, say, Dodgeball) or the preening...

Recklessly infantile in his '50s comedies with Dean Martin, he then had a decade of goofiness all on his own. He spoke in a whine, often dressed as a girl and endured countless embarrassments, the most lasting of which was the warm esteem of French critics...
...musical styles of Bob Dylan, U2, and Dave Matthews to create a vibrant sound palette. Despite the musical diversity found in some of its tracks, the album does manage to be cohesive and even pleasant at times. To the band’s credit, the drawn out, ear-splitting whine of a guitar at the end of many tracks pieces the album together; the choice is a little weird, but I suppose that’s the point. Featuring a slower, catchy guitar melody and a singing style that may be Iggy’s nod to 1950s crooners...
