...weekend box office. Brüno, the Sacha Baron Cohen docu-comedy in which an Austrian fashion journalist shoves his flamboyant gayness in the faces and other body parts of unsuspecting Americans, won the weekend with $30.4 million, a bit above most industry expectations for an R-rated provocation whose star was unknown to the mass audience until his Borat became a surprise hit in 2006, earning more than $260 million at theaters worldwide on an $18 million budget. Yet Brüno's box-office decline from Friday to Saturday indicates that the film's brand of outrage...

He's beyond brazen in his forced marriage of suicide raids on homophobes and the cartoon mockery of rural Southerners - sort of al-Qaeda and Al Capp. But he and Universal (which paid a hefty $42.5 million for rights to the movie and launched a worldwide marketing campaign that brought the pre-release tab to about $100 million) had two hints that things could go wrong.

...Among the cemetery's notable inhabitants is Emmett Till, whose 1955 lynching was a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement. Till's remains were exhumed during a 2005 investigation into his death and reburied in another coffin. The original coffin was to be saved for a memorial. Instead, it was found this week in a cemetery garage, surrounded by trash, filled with possums. "For those who did this, take up a casket and crushed it, there remains a very special place in hell for them,"said the Rev. Jesse Jackson...
...Even where it did score well in the survey, Team France suffered stinging humiliation. Not only were the French denied the Best Dressed championship by the Italians, for example, but they lost second spot to the Brits - whose fashion sense is usually likened to that of the poll's slob champs, the Yanks. France's fourth-place finish for "Most Quiet" was tarnished by the Wagnerian-lunged Germans' walking off with the bronze. (See pictures of East Germany making light of its past...
