...RELEASED. PETER BLEACH, 52, British arms dealer convicted of parachuting crates of weapons into India's West Bengal state in 1995; after a presidential pardon; in Calcutta. Bleach and an aircrew from Russia and Latvia were arrested in Bombay in 1995. The suspected ringleader of the weapons plot, Danish national Niels Christian Nielsen, fled India, and the intended recipients of the weapons were never confirmed...
Five years and about 29 VH1 presidents ago, someone at the channel approached me about creating a show. So I pitched an animated sitcom in which I would interview two celebrities an episode and then build a flimsy plot around them involving a guy named Joel Stein who works at a magazine. If VH1 had wanted imagination, it would have gone to David Lynch...
...channel got Robert Risko, who does all those Vanity Fair drawings, to draw the characters, and a Grammy-nominated band, Fountains of Wayne, to write two original songs an episode about the plot.

It's an unsentimental Yentl or--considering the eerie resemblance of Osama's Marina Golbahari to Hilary Swank--an Afghan Boys Don't Cry. In 2001 Iran produced a similar fable, Baran, set among illegal Afghan refugees in Tehran. But life has ways of imitating art. Osama, the first feature made in Afghanistan since the Taliban seized power, is based on a true story. And truth shines through every frame, thanks to Barmak's storytelling skill and his young star's unaffected radiance...
