For the uninitiated, the CBI is a lobbying group that operates on the behalf of employers in England. Their concern, first and foremost, is with minimizing the number of government-issued hurdles employers have to jump ov...
When stars aren’t off canoodling or drinking and driving, they’re making their publicists cringe, one sentence at a time.
Jennifer Aniston has been feisty lately. She talked to Entertainment Weekly recently and gave us not one but two excellent sound bites. Regarding the constant pregnancy rumors, she said that it’s almost going to take the f...
In a recent interview with BusinessWeek, Michael Wolff, the tell-all author of the Rupert Murdoch biography, had some choice words about MySpace users.
He said: I don’t think that’s true. I think it is--if you’re on MySpace now, you’re a [expletive] cretin. And you’re not only a [expletive] cretin, but you’re poor. Nobody who has beyond an 8th...
