...according to Savin-Williams, most gay kids are fairly ordinary. "Perhaps surprising to researchers who emphasize the suicidality, depression, victimization, prostitution, and substance abuse of gay youth, gay teenagers generally feel good about their same-sex sexuality," he writes.

...about a canine celebrity who thinks he's still on his TV show when he's really stranded in the desert. Those three films have a high standard to meet in the sassy, bouncy Chicken Little. The title character (voiced by Zach Braff) has huge glasses and a studious mien.

Yet there is said to be friction between the Archbishop of Milan and his predecessor, Martini. The man who might have been Pope could work to derail Tettamanzi's candidacy. There are enough intrigues in Rome just...
...balmy day in July, Eliana Tranchesi stopped by the Balenciaga showroom in Paris to scrutinize the new season's handbags. With her honeyed mane, steely mien and enduring proclivity for body-skimming Dolce & Gabbana, Tranchesi is a familiar figure among the habitues of Europe's chicest ateliers. The Brazilian bombshell is the president and owner of Daslu, Latin America's most exclusive department store...
