So, for your entertainment (and mine), let's make up some New Year's resolutions for the stars. "I'm going to try really, really, really, really hard to be genuinely happy for Ashlee. Even though she thinks she's better than I am, and she's way cuter than me now. And she's probably making more money than me, and Papa Joe likes her better." --Jessica Simpson "I will continue to take over my sister's identity." --Ashlee Simpson "I promise to buy those days of the week underwear y'all and wear them every single day. Pinky swear." --Britney "We're going to adopt at least gazillion more babies this year." --Brangelina "I won't have sex for a whole year... take two." --Paris "We are going to try to be much less creepy." --TomKat "I will not steal illegally obtain any small children this year." --Madonna "Annoying Meredith Grey no more.
Idealism drives lawyer Stefani
It was the late 1980s and at first Brown, a veteran officer, was a little unsure of the assignment. Narcotics officers were a tight-knit group that relied heavily on each other during raids. "I wasn't really all that excited about an outsider coming into the group," Brown said. But Stefani, a former FBI special agent, eliminated any fears with his talent and his energy, Brown said. He brought a legal eye to the team and helped with search warrants. "He can just about outwork anybody I know," he said. After completing the ride-alongs, Stefani increased his contact with the department, getting assigned to a drug task force that kept him in contact with Brown. He worked all day at his law practice, kept an eye on the tiny Lake Angelus Police Department that he headed and did drug raids in Detroit at night.

Bill Gates - You Asked The Questions
I've interviewed Bill Gates three or four times over a 12 year period, and each time I come out impressed by the sheer professionalism of the Microsoft PR operation but wondering whether we've been successfully spun. This time we tried a new tactic - getting BBC viewers, listeners and readers to ask the questions. We had thousands, covering every aspect of Bill Gates and Microsoft - past, present and future. Over two hundred were seeking jobs, one gentleman was proposing himself as the next CEO of Microsoft, and another wondered whether the secrets of Windows software had been recovered from a crashed UFO. We did not ask that one, but managed to get through around fifteen questions during our allotted fifteen minutes. As ever, Mr Gates appeared very well briefed.
French investigators studying dermatologist's murder
French investigators have arrived in the United States, looking to study evidence in the case of a dual citizen accused of killing a Chicago dermatologist in 2006. An arrest warrant was issued in Chicago for Hans Peterson Dr. David Cornbleet's death. But Peterson turned himself in to French authorities. A French judge has ruled Peterson won't be extradited. The French investigators are to decide if Peterson will be prosecuted for murder in the French judicial system. Cook County state's attorney's office spokesman John Gorman says prosecutors hope the French officials change their position on extradition. Cornbleet's son, Jon, of Naperville, has alleged Peterson killed the physician after being prescribed an acne medicine that he believed made him impotent.

In a crueler time, it was easier for kids to stay thin
Yet, at the same time, the issue of childhood obesity grows. On one hand, some folks get worked up about the veto, but yet, the personal responsibility regarding obesity is left unchecked. Study after study shows obesity, at any age, is responsible for many other health problems (e.g. heart disease, diabetes, stroke, etc). Rather than decry the government's unwillingness to pay for insurance, why can't the public take responsibility for their health in terms of weight control? We now are in a generation where parents grew up with the advent of prepared foods, fast food restaurants, etc. The their families didn't teach them to cook. A generation later, the former children of that generation are now parents, and they don't know how to feed their families. To be sure, there are some with genetic health difficulties that create an overweight condition.
