...would have thought that under the hard business exterior of mega-investor Warren Buffett lies the soul of a wannabe rocker? A surreal video making its way around the Net shows Buffett doing his best imitation of Guns N' Roses rocker Axl Rose, complete with waist-length hair, a purple bandanna, a black leather jacket and Axl's signature red plaid kilt from the '80s - all as part of an eye-catching video for Geico, the auto-insurance company owned by Berkshire Hathaway. And Buffett sings too. O.K., he attempts to sing. (See the best Super Bowl commercials...
...matchbox houses and shacks of tin, wood and plastic sheeting crammed into every available space. For visitors it is a glimpse of a world of poverty, leavened by the locals' cheerful resolve to make the best of things. Entrepreneurs thrive in old shipping containers, converted to house everything from hair salons and driving schools to funeral parlors. In a church-run day-care centre, infants address Caucasian visitors with cries of "Abelungu!" - the Xhosa word for whites. One stop is a cookery school sponsored by city hotels, where students from Langa's poorest sections are being helped onto the first...
...moral compass while jockeying for control of a distillery, and the tenancy of its grand courtyard home, after the Japanese owner flees following liberation.

Some actors lend their voices to CGI characters: Alan Rickman to the Caterpillar, Stephen Fry to the Cheshire Cat, the 92-year-old Gough (in his fifth Burton film) as the Dodo Bird. Other stars appear in fanciful makeup. Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter matches his flaming red hair with red eyeliner, as if he'd been crying for years; he's a gentleman ghoul out of Johnny Weir's closet. Anne Hathaway, as the White Queen, is given crimson lips, platinum hair and, alas, no redeeming quirks. Bonham Carter (Burton's partner offscreen) sports blue eye shadow that could...
...begin to see here why his bosses wonder how quick-draw, hair-trigger Givens manages to have so many "justified" shootings and whether he isn't acting out some sort of vendetta psychodrama - or a death wish. Nor are they the first to wonder about him. As his ex-wife says after he politely pops by for what's meant to be a friendly chat (by way of breaking into her house in the middle of the night), "You're the angriest man I have ever known." His sartorial quirks mark him not just as a throwback...
