...and we just live in it. Seriously, has any female comedian ever dominated the zeitgeist the way Tina Fey is doing right now? (Certainly almost no men have done so either.) Fey isn't just starring in the Emmy-winning 30 Rock Season 2 ($39.98; Universal), the way Roseanne and Mary Tyler...

A musical opened on Broadway in 1927 called Good News.

Jamie Lynn Spears looked like such a cute kid back when she was the star of teen hit, "Zooey 101," not so long ago. Who knew that beneath that pretty, blonde front lurked a hypercompetitive young woman intent on stealing the spotlight from her superstar sis, Britney, no matter...

CNN's live coverage of Tuesday's presidential debate featured a graph at the bottom of the screen showing the continuous reaction of focus group respondents. The candidates would speak and two lines (one for men and the other women) would inch up or down depending on whether these dial twirling lab...
