Laura in Santa Cruz, Calif.: So, so, so happy The Office is back! Do you have any spoilers?
So, so, so many! Not only do I have the answers to the Spoil-o-Rama game, I got a sneak peek at Thursday's awesome ep, "Business Ethics." The Office is back, and it's kicking booty. Check the spoiler section below for all the dish. Julie in Springfield, Mo.: Any info on the upcoming Project Runway finale?
I suspect that in this Wednesday's episode, the first part of the two-part finale, Tim Gunn challenges the remaining contestants to create a wedding dress because every collection was topped off with a grand, formal, wedding-ish gown. Is that a coincidence or a challenge? ( +++++++++++++++++++++ )
What did everyone think of tonights shows? I quite enjoyed Heroes and next week looks ace

| Moritz Care Bear - He knows, it's a bitch of living |

BROADWAY CARES/EQUITY FIGHTS AIDS - the nation's leading industry based HIV/AIDS fundraising and grant-making organization.
Moritz, Spring Awakening (2007)
Like just about every adolescent who ever lived, Moritz Stiefel (of the seriously unruly hair) is no stranger to angst - particularly (like just about every adolescent who ever lived...) when trying to make sense of his sexually charged feelings and dreams. Leading his all-male classmates, singing of "The Bitch of Living," Moritz (originated by Tony-winning John Gallagher, Jr.) rocks out - and his his impeccably crafted bear-counterpart (armatured and free-standing) is prepared to do the same.
His 3-piece navy-blue wool school uniform consists of jacket, vest and knickers. The buttoned, lined jacket is tailored with two vents at the back, three pockets in front, and 1/4" navy trim on the sleeves and pockets; the lined vest buttons up as well and has faux pockets; and the button-fly knickers buckle and button just below the knees. Beneath the vest: a striped cotton dress-shirt; a navy, green, burgundy and gold striped tie; and striped, button-on suspenders. On his feet, black socks (one up, one down) and black, limited edition Converse high-tops; on his head - well, yes, that seriously unruly hair.
Most importantly, though, are his accessories: the slate, so critical to expressing himself in school, and that mic - so critical to expressing his inner thoughts. Though on stage Moritz met with a tragic end indeed, we feel certain "the wonder of purple summer" is in the stars for his most appealing bear double.
Original Designer: Susan Hilferty
Broadway Bear created by: Susan Bolt

High School Musical 'sets record'
Cinemas around the UK have taken record advance bookings for Disney film High School Musical 3.
Three weeks ahead of its release, tickets to the value of more than £500,000 have been booked in advance, according to Walt Disney Pictures.
Odeon, the UK's largest cinema chain, said it had sold £245,205 in advance tickets, beating the record set by Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire.
The UK premiere for High School Musical 3 takes place on Tuesday.
Stars of the franchise, including Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens, are set to attend the London gala. Rupert Gavin, chief executive of the Odeon cinema chain, called it a "phenomenal and record-breaking start" for the movie's UK run.
"Our cinemas have been inundated with calls to pre-book tickets for what could be the year's biggest kids and teen audience movie.
"With schools breaking up for half-term just as High School Musical 3 opens, we are bracing ourselves for a huge first week run," he added.
Odeon's advance ticket sales eclipsed the record set by the fourth Harry Potter film in 2005, which had taken £227,000 at the same stage of booking.
High School Musical 3, which is the first cinematic outing in the series, is due to open across the UK on 22 October.
The original TV movie took the US by storm when it appeared on the Disney channel in January 2006. It went on to become a worldwide hit.
The sequel shattered cable TV records last summer, with a premiere watched by 18.6m in the US.
Work has already begun on High School Musical 4.

While her off-screen relationship with E!’s Ben Lyons continues to blossom, Whitney Port was seen in New York City today walking with her far more attractive T.V. boyfriend Jay Lyon. The make-believe lovebirds strolled along the Bowery in the uber trendy Soho district amid a practical wall of paparazzzi. For 10 blocks, Whit and Jay ignored each other completely as they either texted or spoke on the phone to other people. Feel the love!!

Dear You,
I find it unbelievable that I still think of you after all this time. They say a person never forgets their first love and I guess I just never truly believed that. I do now. I go weeks without thinking of you and then suddenly you cross my mind. Different things bring you to mind. This time it was a movie I watched tonight as I drink Vodka straight from the bottle. It's a movie that I'm sure you've never seen but there is a man in it who looks just like you. I actually had to watch the credits to see that it wasn't you. He has the same hair, eyes, face....even wears the same clothes. In the movie he's caring, sweet, smart, calm, amazing really. I watch the movie over and over now just thinking of you and what great fun we used to have.
Do you remember life back then...4 years ago now? Boys weren't allowed in the girl dorms past midnight, but I would throw the keys out the 4th story window for you to get into the building. We would stay up all night talking, roaming around campus, eating Burger King since it was the only thing open all night on campus... I think about those days often and about how much I miss it. I miss you holding me. I miss being loved by you and loving you. I miss feeling free, brave, wanted, and safe. I have loved since I loved you..I may have even fell deeper than when I was with you...but I haven't again felt so free, safe and wanted. I haven't had a decent conversation with anyone else since we saw each other.
Yes, I have seen you since we were dating back then...but it wasn't the same. I feel like you don't care for me anymore. I called you and you acted so...distant. You acted like you didn't care to know that I was still alive. You acted as if maybe we never happened. You never called me. I always called you and you never return my emails. Yeah, you say you suck at keeping up with people and I believe you. Maybe I'm pathetic. I am doing what no woman should ever do...calling you knowing you don't give a fuck about me. Why do I still miss you? Why do I still think of you this way?
I lost my virginity to you those 4 years ago. I wish I could go back to that. I remember feeling so shy around you and so afraid to let you see any part of me. I was 18 and still so naive and so innocent. I'm actually kind of happy I lost it to you. You were so patient with me and were so polite to give me time until I was ready. You made me feel comfortable with you.
I know that you have moved on and really so have I. I don't love you any more...just miss those nights with you. I miss talking to you. I miss being wanted and needed by someone. I haven't felt that in so long. I hope that you are happy with your life and that you at least sometimes think of me and wonder where I am now. For now you don't deserve the satisfaction of knowing how I am or even getting this letter. That's why I'll never send it. Here's to closure and to moving on.

Your Freshman Year of College Girlfriend

Okay; can someone explain to me, in small, bite-sized morsels, just what the hell happened that we need a buyout? I'm an engineer by heredity. Accountants are the mortal enemy, so my understanding of high finance is limited.
What happened?
What caused it?
What is happening now? (ie. how did it go from people not paying mortgages to credit being destroyed for everyone else)
Why is this bailout supposed to fix it?
And anything else I may have missed.

Powerful video. Even Clinton gives (partial - he covers his own butt) admission at the end. And amazing to see Jamie Gorelich, the woman who erected the wall of separation between the security agencies, a weakness that led to 9/11, at the center of this scandal as well.

| We're doing the same thing in Taiwan as we're doing in Georgia... |
[10:6:08

Or maybe the other way around.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/7656050.stm
"China has cancelled military and diplomatic exchanges with the US in protest at a $6.5bn deal to supply Taiwan with arms, US officials say."
We gotta have our weapons all around the borders of our major military competition in World, and in doing so, we propagate increased tensions, and increased military spending on everybody's parts (an Arms Race).
It's outrageous, and needs to change. I've got no problem with a sensible military presence in various parts of the world, but as typical, this Administration has been entirely hamfisted in its application of force and threat.
Well, I guess on the brighter side, at least Arms Manufacturers are still hiring.

A theory on how Posh puts on her magic boots, plus more from Courteney Cox Arquette, Prince and others...
"I get a lot of guys coming up to me who are like, 'Oh man, my wife loves the show.' Couple of drinks later they come up and they're like, 'You know what, I love Dan.' And they probably watch the show more than their wives."
– Penn Badgley, on the appeal of Gossip Girl, to Details magazine
"Katie, I'd like to use one of my life lines. I want to phone a friend."

| NEW MESSAGE FROM ASHLEE SIMPSON-WENTZ! |
[10:7:08

Hey guys!
Some of the things I read about myself are crazy and make me laugh out loud. The latest I have read is:
I get regular botox treatments and can't wait to get back to it. I would just like to say I am 24 years old and have never gotten botox in my entire life. And I'm not planning on it, maybe come back to me when I turn 50.
Secondly, I read that I sleep with hundreds of teddy bears. With Pete, Hemingway and Rigby (our two bulldogs) and a baby on the way there is not room for anything else (trust me).
I know you guys don't believe all the stuff you read, but these
rumors were so ridiculous I had to address them. Thanks for all your support! Love you guys,
Ash

the nation magazine asks: Why Has John McCain Blocked Info on MIAs? by Sydney H. Schanberg
John McCain, who has risen to political prominence on his image as a Vietnam POW war hero, has, inexplicably, worked very hard to hide from the public stunning information about American prisoners in Vietnam who, unlike him, didn't return home. Throughout his Senate career, McCain has quietly sponsored and pushed into federal law a set of prohibitions that keep the most revealing information about these men buried as classified documents.
