...because of her indelicate condition. Though her representative denied it, pageant officials contended Heflin was pregnant, a state outlawed in competition. The issue arose again when the night's three remaining contestants were asked whether Miss Universe should step down if she became pregnant during her reign. After Miss Spain and Miss Philippines, a crowd favorite who all but had the crown bobby-pinned to her head, fumbled, Miss Botswana stepped in. MPULE KWELAGOBE, her country's first-ever entrant, walked away with the title after asserting that pregnancy, like the pageant, was a celebration of femininity. Try telling that...

Last week CRISTINA SANCHEZ, 27, the world's premier female matador, retired, saying she was no longer willing or able to battle the machismo of her male colleagues.

Life became a blur...
...this sounds unbelievable, it is. Imagine a combination of Back to the Future, The Truman Show and Phantom of the Opera, set in Spain and you'll have some idea of the complex and quick moving Open Your Eyes (Abre Los Ojos). The movie opens with Cesar, a millionaire playboy played by Eduardo Noriega, finding relief from a seductress Nuria by meeting the beautiful girl next door type Sofia (played by Penelope Cruz). Cesar spends the night at Sofia's apartment in what seems to be the match made in heaven, but as he walks to his car the next...
