There’s a new book about Elizabeth Taylor coming out… and it’s “Packed” with info. For example, the author claims that when Liz and husband (#5 & #6) Richard Burton travelled… they took 156 suitcases with them. They even hired people just to pack/unpack the luggage to go along.

A new survey finds that over 50% of people in the World would choose a larger stone for their engagement ring.

A recent cross-country United Airlines flight was diverted because the Boeing jet had a cracked windshield.

- Hey… at least it HAD a windshield! These days… We can’t take anything for granted when we fly.
