...Jesus Miranda, 61, who preached before several hundred followers and a clutch of more conventional Christian protesters at an Orlando-area amphitheater last weekend, would seem to be a true original. By his own account a former heroin addict and thief, he still imbibes hard liquor ("Jesus drank wine because he didn't have Dewar's," he told ABC's Primetime in March), surrounds himself with beautiful women despite being married, wears a $11,000 Rolex and drives a BMW, and says that for members of his Miami-based Creciendo en Gracia (Growing in Grace) movement, there is no such...
...second most powerful person, the panel decided, is Anderson Cooper. Not only were my panelists trying to be nerds, but they weren't even good at it. That's when I ordered a couple of bottles of wine, and the names started flying. The Maloof brothers were instantly agreed upon, since their family owns the Palms hotel in Las Vegas. Body painter Mark Frazier was the artist of choice.

...most unlikely combinations work, like flatbread spread with yogurt on which is piled thinly sliced smoked salmon anointed with soy sauce and truffle honey. There is no menu, and the baristas improvise like jazz musicians, creating mind-blowing harmonies with their ingredients. The only way to check out the wine and cava is by scanning the bottles that line the walls. The collection is impressive - wine being, after all, preserved grape juice, the most spectacular conserve of all. Who says fresh is best...
