BELGRADE, Serbia (Reuters) -- A 23-year old Serb was found dead and half-eaten in the bear cage of Belgrade Zoo at the weekend during the annual beer festival. The man was found naked, with his clothes lying intact inside the cage. Two adult bears, Masha and Misha, had dragged the body to their feeding corner and reacted angrily when keepers tried to recover it. "There's a good chance he was drunk or drugged. Only an idiot would jump into the bear cage," zoo director Vuk Bojovic told Reuters. Local media reported that police found several mobile phones inside the cage, as well as bricks, stones and beer cans.

Some think that this time around, the cut in the discount rate reduces the need for a cut in the federal funds rate. They are mindful of the fact that Federal Reserve officials have repeatedly said that they would like to see lower inflation become entrenched first and would not now want to be seen as being soft on inflation nor too willing to bail out investors as such an impression risks sparking higher inflation in the future.

I believe that what has caused this state of affairs is the corrupt practices of too many of our politicians and the corporations of the world that do business in Canada or with Canada. I believe that legislation such as the North America Free Trade Act (NAFTA), the Security and Prosperity Partnership for North America (SPP), Atlantica, and the Trade, Investment, and Labour Mobility Agreement (TILMA), the opaqueness of our federal and provincial governments regarding the nature and the consequences to Canada and Canadians if this sort of legislation is enacted, and the apparent unwillingness of our media to report on these issues, is responsible for this deplorable state of affairs.

Superbad, with Jonah Hill and Michael Cera. Looks like movies written by Seth Rogen are turning out to be consistently pretty good, if following a pretty archetypical pattern, as Kevin pointed out to me last night. I have to say, though, as Kim noted with a poke or two, there were moments where I couldn't bear to look at the screen - humor based on discomfort is still funny to me, but something about it makes me so uncomfortable in turn that I have to look away. Still, overall, it wasn't an utterly hilarious movie throughout, but it was pretty damn funny without being banal or asinine.

Celebritybabylon caught up with Entourage star Adrian Grenier, 31, and "What's she famous for again?" star Paris Hilton, 26, in Malibu this weekend. The rumor mill has been turning ever since these two were spotted soaking up sun together a few weeks back. On August 19, Adrian was very, very, very (did we say very?) eager to confirm that he and Paris are in fact an entourage of two. Pretending not to relish in his newfound paparazzi spotlight, Grenier made a deal with Celebritybabylon that in exchange for a short photo op, the couple would be left alone the following two days. We don't blame Adrian for wanting as much time as he can get with his new ex-con girlfriend. Judging by the fickle Hilton heiress'dating past, she might move on by the third day!

While thousands turned up in Miami to await the simple wristband that will allow mere hundreds to try out for American Idol, host Ryan Seacrest is revelling in his recent good fortune. The AP reports that not only will he be working at the Super Bowl, but he will also be the host at Sept. 16 ’ s Emmy Awards (which is almost like hosting the Oscars, but without the prestige or importance). And do you think he (or we) will be spared the pre-show fashion shredding? Not so, says E!: the network says he ’ ll continue to work beforehand, but in a reduced role. If only they had an emmy for that.

This time around, the two must travel to Paris to battle a wing of the Chinese organized crime family, the Triads.

With The Dark Knight looming upon us next year it seem pretty unlikely that DC/Warner Bros. would release both in the same year, but apparently this project has been put on the fast track at the studio with a script finished that apparently meets studio approval. Apparently the studio is envisioning the film as a lunching pad for other superhero offshoot films such as The Flash, Wonder Woman, The Green Lantern and Aquaman (with James Cameron and Vinny Chase?). If this does in fact happen hopefully they will do it with Brandon Routh and Christian Bale reprising their roles as Superman and Batman respectfully.

Robert De Niro as a gay high flying pirate of the skies (thankfully a viewing of ‘ Heat ’ over the weekend re-established his manly stature) and Michelle Pfeiffer as a grotesquely aged witch, are great. Claire Danes is radiant (literally), but the real stars are the supporting cast. Top to bottom, they carry the film. Standouts include, Mark Strong as Septimus, Dexter Fletcher as Skinny Pirate, Mark Williams as Billy and Melanie Hill as Ditchwater Sal. I defy you not to laugh at the parts of the film involving ‘ Billy ’ a goat made human … just great stuff.

go on. Oddly enough, Zac Efron delivers the weakest performance in these films, since his acting range, like Dana Carvey in a Hans and Franz skit, consists only of "pumped up" and "totally deflated" with no middle ground. Within the character of Sharpay, Ashley Tisdale carries an awesome sense of comic timing, and a few supporting characters show promise as well. In particular, Chad Danforth (Corbin Bleu) and Ryan perform a catchy musical number on a baseball field, "I Don't Dance," which plays out a (heterosexual) pitcher-batter showdown and pokes a little fun at the seriousness of professional sports these days.

This is a little inside baseball-y, perhaps, but for those of us on the front lines of the unending -- and incredibly tiresome -- "war" between old-school ink-stained wretches and bloggers, this is also pretty hilarious. The latest broadside from the 20th Century comes from Michael Skube, a journalism professor at Elon University, writing in Sunday's Los Angeles Times. It's yet another in a long line of pieces by defenders of the mainstream faith, bashing bloggers for their inaccuracies and their lack of "real reporting."

After reading the Washington Post story today about the 23 Virginia Tech students hospitalized for carbon monoxide poisoning, I ’ m beginning to wonder.

My alma mater — Penn State — had a school shooting, an incident where a student was killed by a falling tree branch, and a massive riot one summer. And we all know about the University of Maryland ’ s troubles. But, shit, Virginia Tech just can ’ t get a break. Is the campus cursed?

It sure as hell has done so for me.

THE INVASION - Nicole Kidman stars in the newest remake of “ Invasion of the Body Snatchers. ” This time, it is a suspected plague that is changing people in their sleep. And you thought it was dust mites all along. Kidman is a psychiatrist who suspects her son (Jackson Bond) may be involved in this plague. Daniel Craig (” Casino Royale ”) co-stars with Kidman. The best was still the first one in black and white with Kevin Mccarthy (1956). There are good action sequences in the current film, and the premise still holds, but dialogue can be stilted. Also in the cast is Jeremy Northam. “ The Invasion ” is PG 13 for violence, terror and disturbing images. Family Friendly rating of zero, but could be of interest for science fiction fans.

The film is “ Fox 2000 adaptation of John Grogan ’ s bestselling memoir about an incorrigible Labrador retriever. ” Reports say David Frankel will direct Scott Frank is working on the script. Variety ’ s description of this story goes like this, “ Marley is the yellow lab adopted by Grogan and his wife. Their idea was to give them a taste of parenthood, but the dog proved to be a hyperactive handful … and gets even worse when the children begin to arrive, yet becomes an indispensable part of the family. ”

Yes, there is something relatively simplistic about the Doug Liman introduction and Paul Greengrass'masterful sequel (The Godfather Part II of espionage-based sequels, if you will!) - After all, the films themselves follow a pattern of Jason Bourne gets pissed off, gets moving across continents, karate-chops/kung-fu kicks his way through a few assassins, uses everyday objects to assist him in doing so and then smashes the shit out of a stolen car along the way. First time out it was red bags used as weapons and mini-coopers used as police-escaping battering rams. Second time out it was rolled up magazines and yellow Russian cabs. Third time out the gate, Bourne is using hardbacked books and NYPD patrol cars.

Chamberlain retired Gary Sheffield, Magglio Ordoñez, and Carlos Guillen on nine pitches, eight of them strikes, striking out Ordoñez and Guillen on seven pitches with Ordoñez going down on three fastballs, the slowest being clocked at 98 miles per hour. Perhaps most impressively, Chamberlain had faced the same three hitters in the ninth inning on Friday night and did better against them yesterday.

Eli Manning threw the only touchdown of the game as the Giants squeaked by the Baltimore Ravens, 13-12, in preseason action. Manning played almost the entire first half and went 10-for-13 with 114 yards and a score. Steve Smith caught the touchdown but left the game after suffering a concussion on the play for the Giants, who bounced back from a 24-21 loss against the Panthers in their preseason opener. Two members of the Giants ’ starting defense left in the second quarter as safety Will Demps, who started all 16 games last season, dislocated an elbow and cornerback Sam Madison pulled a hamstring. New York also lost wide receiver Michael Jennings, who had three catches for 31 yards before rupturing his Achilles ’ tendon.

Guns are sexy. I mean, death and torture and the arms trade and rape and cruelty and 10,000 American a year shooting each other and innocent bystanders and child soldiers and kids shooting each other in school and sport hunting and death death death are all not, per se, sexy. What's sexy is Paul Giamatti talking on a cell phone, with a big shiny, phallic Glock in the other furry Mitt, eyebrow cocked, ready to redeem us all. Genius! What's also genius is Monica Bellucci, all lips and tits and chin in a corset, looking like she's about to die of boredom. Maybe she's a chain smoker with pores like dinner plates and teeth like nicotine patches, but still, damn. Also, secretly, we all know Clive Owen is hung. That's stubble? He's too busy admiring his cock to shave. I have to see this movie.

Opening Night, Charlotte, North Carolina -- A packed house. Crowds cheer as Eddie and his bass-playing son Wolfgang take the stage, but seem confused about who drummer Alex Van Halen is. David Lee Roth enters last, and stays onstage longest, taking three more curtain calls than the band. Eddie Van Halen orders the limos to leave the arena while DLR is still playing to the crowd.

Just last week, Americans United was the target of a prominent Southern Baptist preacher who believes that lawmakers should be beholden to Christian fundamentalist strictures. The Rev. Wiley S. Drake of the First Southern Baptist Church of Buena Park, Calif., became highly agitated after Americans United asked the Internal Revenue Service to investigate his endorsement of Republican presidential candidate Mick Huckabee. In an Aug. 11 press release on church letterhead and later on his church-based radio show, Drake plumped for Huckabee, saying that the former Arkansas governor would listen to God.

The resignation is a major turning point in the Bush administration. Mr. Rove has been one of Mr. Bush's closest advisers for more than a decade. He has worked side by side with him since Mr. Bush first announced he was running for the governor of Texas in 1993.

Ventre: If you ’ ve watched enough football over the years, you undoubtedly experienced moments when you shook your head in disbelief at something a quarterback did. It doesn ’ t matter how distinguished or revered the particular QB happened to be — Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Tom Brady, Peyton Manning — there was always the throw they ’ d love to have back, or the decision they wish they never made.

Styles, who had what is technically termed a complete mare then went on to appear to give Michael Essien a second yellow card, whilst actually giving the yellow to John Terry. Essien was so confused he stood rooted to the spot, trying to fathom what Styles was doing.

THE LAST LEGION - This film came out of nowhere and was not screened for critics. If you enjoy ancient Rome and plenty of bloody battle scenes, here it is. Shades of “ THE 300. ” This particular story concerns the son of a Caesar who is kidnapped and taken to an island. His followers try to free him and in the meantime try to gather an army to fight the bad guys. The cast includes Ben Kingsley, Colin Firth and Peter Mullen. “ The Last Legion ” is rated PG 13 for intense violence action. Family Friendly rating of zero.

Crepes and wine and jamming at the Eiffel Tower and modern art and lying dealers and the cematary and Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde's grave is covered in lipstick. Ugly Americans and underground clubs and Paris, Texas Paris, Texas Paris, Texas and Austin, France. Used records and beer at Mcdonalds and Planet Terruer and Tokah Tokah is king of the jungle. When all the plains hold freedom and all the angels leave for the ladies room, as fate would have it Paris, France turned my summer around. Now to Edinburgh.

With the weather not letting up, we decide on a movie, hot chocolate and cookies in our room. We choose OUT OF AFRICA with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford … how appropriate. The movie dates from 1985, the year before Alex was born. Remember, “ I haahd aah faahrm een Aahfrikaah … ”.? This was just the right film to get us into the mood for the next leg of our trip.
