With nine billion people projected to live on earth by 2050, we need everything on the table, including a healthy ocean full of fish.
It's not exactly clear if the character of James Bond was Fleming's idealized image of himself or a composite of people he came across during the war. There are, however, certain tastes and characteristics shared by the character and Fleming.
A great mystery in contemporary music is why Toronto-based trio Dragonette have not become a household name. Like their spiritual sister Robyn, Dragonette is the rare electro outfit who can make you cry through your ass-shaking or boogie through your tears.
I am on board for "American Horror Story: Asylum." Much to my surprise, I am genuinely interested to see where it'll go next. It's a show designed to shock, and so far, the biggest shock is my unexpected interest in "Asylum's" fever-dream.
The pressure was further intensified with new and exciting dance styles thrown into the mix (think Bollywood and hip-hop). And Paula Abdul fit right in on the judges' panel (she really does work well next to aggressive British men).

Hello, and welcome back to "Demonic Possession Is a Real Thing" Part 3. The palpable hatred in No. 1 led to the blood bath in No. 2, so at this point, we're basically kicking an extremely dead (but still sparkly) horse.
I meet Lisa Ray at a quaint café in her neighborhood. We chat for nearly two hours, and she is full of life from start to finish; animated not only about what her future holds, but also the peripatetic past that has shaped the woman she is today.
