Napoleon’s brother Kip, played by Aaron Ruell, is now as good looking as a secret ginger can be. Which, you know, is moderately good-looking.

Starring Bale, Adams, Bradley Cooper, Jeremy Renner and Jennifer Lawrence, “American Hustle” is out in American theaters on December 13, and we’re of the opinion that this has the potential to be the best broad-collar-suit film since Goodfellas, or at least Boogie Nights.

The Department of Basic Educati0n yesterday issued a circular (you can read the circular here) that prohibits the use of open source software in schools that offer the subjects “Computer Applications Technology” (CAT) and “Information Technology” (IT).

And jeans, like the kind of documents that you get at Home Affairs, are a crucial addition to one’s modern life.

We know you don’t own at least one of these things.

Because you just turned your head to look at the patio, and suddenly it occurs to you that whoever owns this house, owns the horizon.
