A Hollywood Yarn Unravels
It was Christmas week in the Colombian city of Villavicencio and the events, as they were set to unfold, had all the makings of a Hollywood blockbuster. If only the "heroes" hadn't been exposed as liars. A 3-year-old boy, his mother and another woman, all hostages of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), were about to be freed. Credit for their release was to go to Hugo Chávez, president of Venezuela. Former Argentine President Néstor Kirchner had flown up from Buenos Aires to take part in the show. Oscar-winning director Oliver Stone was on hand too, eager to document the Christmas spirit of the revolutionary killers and their socialist sympathizers. The child, as luck would have it, was called Emmanuel. The part of the villain was bestowed on Colombian President Álvaro Uribe, a U.S.
22-Hour Malibu Bash: Paris, Pillow Fights, Paparazzi and Puppies
I've lost track how many times I've hit this oceanic hot spot this summer. There are no celebs yet, just fashionistas, media types and two adorable pups, the Puggle carrying the same moniker as moi—Sydne! This might get confusing. And at least one of us is a bitch! 9:45 p.m.: After two Svedka vodka and sodas, I realize I haven't eaten dinner. I hit the kitchen and sample the personal chef’s mini PB&Js, sliders and sloppy joes. The other Sydne eats my leftover bun. 10:02 p.m.: I discover my E! buddies Ben Lyons and Michael Yo are here. Ben and I discuss E!’s upcoming courtyard party featuring Eve. I tell him how last year I drank so much I had to sleep at my boss' house. He tells me he's going to walk home from the bender Monday. Smart move.
Harry and the transfer that never was
Speculation runs riot: it's human nature, of course, and it makes people edgy. The thing that concerned all of us was why Harry would leave something so successful of his own creation. He made the environment down here that we all like; we couldn't get our heads round the thought that it might suddenly be taken away from us. Can you afford to get emotional in football? You're watching television, waiting to hear, and it's a strange time. I'd say that after all my years in the game you get hardened to things. But even I felt the buzz when Harry turned up to take training yesterday morning. I saw him as I arrived at the training ground and it was as if nothing had ever happened, business as usual. But with an extra smile. The media say Harry thought about it overnight. I can imagine him agonising over that.

Uganda: 2007 Had Lowest Inflation in 3 Years
The decline from 7.2% to 6% from January to December is largely attributed to a large supply of most staple foods, fresh vegetables at lower prices and sugar in most trading centres compared to 2006," Musoke said during the release of the January Consumer Price Index at Statistics House in Kampala recently. He said food supply played a major role in determining the inflation levels in 2007 because of its big weight, which is 27.2% in the index. Ronald Ssombwe, the UBOS senior statistician said: "The index may drop in January due to low demand after the festive season." However, he said if the post-election crisis in Kenya persists, coupled with the current fuel shortage, the rate would rise. Fuel shortage has a big impact on commodity prices and the transport sector.
